MLB The Show 24 Team Affinity Release Date Schedule

Team Affinity in MLB The Show 24 is broken down into regular releases with new challenges and rewards becoming available as each chapter goes live. It's not known exactly how many chapters each season will have, and they could vary somewhat throughout the year, but the first new addition was set for just under a month after the MLB The Show 24 release date.

With MLB The Show 24 Season 1 not set to end until June, it's looking like we could get three different chapters in each season. As of now, here's the confirmed MLB The Show 24 Team Affinity release schedule:

• Season 1, Chapter 1 Released at Launch
• Season 1, Chapter 2 Release Date April 12

If the monthly tempo is kept, we should see Chapter 3 released in May then Season 2, Chapter 1 would follow in June. MLB The Show 24 Team Affinity programs do not expire, so players don't necessarily have to finish before each new chapter and season are released.

Team Affinity Season 1: Chapter 2 Rewards

With the next arrival just a few days out, MLB The Show on Twitter have now begun confirming some of the new cards coming to Diamond Dynasty with this release.

Here's every Team Affinity Season 1: Chapter 2 player we know so far:

• Druw Jones (93 OVR) - Arizona Diamondbacks
• Chili Davis (93 OVR) - San Francisco Giants
• Chase Dollander (93 OVR) - Colorado Rockies
• Wil Myers (93 OVR) - San Diego Padres
• Kenley Jansen (93 OVR) - Los Angeles Dodgers

When this new chunk of Team Affinity is released on Friday, April 12, there will be at least one 93 OVR Diamond attainble for every single team. To do so, you'll have to follow the same kind of path as usual to complete Team Affinity.

How to Finish Team Affinity in MLB The Show 24

The first and most important thing to do while working on Team Affinity is finish all the MLB The Show 24 Conquest maps. These net you hidden rewards and packs that add to your existing squad, and finishing the Team Affinity maps will give you a huge chunk of Team Affinity progress.

This will also push you towards the divisional choice packs, and the Diamonds you get in those can be used in your squad to progress in the program missions. Ultimately, just continuing to play games in MLB The Show 24 will complete several missions, but you can grind them by jumping into Diamond Dynasty Play vs CPU and running a 9-inning game against a low-rated team like the Athletics or Nationals. Make sure to pick your fifth-string starting pitcher so your hitters are up against their worst option as well, and just head to the bullpen early if needed.

Moments, Player Exchanges, Mini Seasons, and Showdown can each inch you forward, but the other best way to earn Team Affinity points is in March to October. Even on lower difficulties, finishing a March to October season with a World Series will scores a huge chunk of Team Affinity progress.
