Stubs are a universal form of currency in MLB The Show 24 that can be used to purchase Perks, Equipment, Show Packs, and even some new Legends directly in the game. So it’s easy to imagine how important it is to earn enough MLB 24 Stubs.
In this guide, we’ll cover a few ways to farm stubs without spending real money. Once you learn these methods, you’ll have an endless supply of stubs.
Before we get into it, I should remind you that this guide focuses on single player modes, but you can also earn Stubs by participating in online competitive modes like Ranked Seasons and Battle Royale. Many of these modes have their own schedules and reward ladders, with stubs being the primary reward.
It should also be mentioned that no matter which mode you play, you’ll get a small amount of MLB The Show 24 Stubs for each inning, so as long as you’re playing, you’ll be earning in-game currency. Of course, you can also invest in Show Packs and Community Market, but be aware that high returns always come with high risks.
What Are MLB 24 Stubs For?
Stubs are the universal currency available in MLB The Show 24, primarily used in Diamond Dynasty. Not only can you use stubs to purchase card packs called Show Packs from Show Shop, but you can also purchase additional player cards from Community Market.
These cards are often based on real MLB players from the past and present, and you can use them when building your Diamond Dynasty team.
All Ways To Earn Stubs
While purchasing is the quickest and easiest way to earn Stubs in MLB The Show 24, you can still accumulate the currency by playing games.
Advancing Programs
Programs are progress meters that reward you for playing baseball and completing objectives. There is a main Seasonal Program that rotates every few months. Your progress in the major program is determined by XP, which is earned by playing in all game modes. Many levels in Program reward stubs, which you can use as you wish.
However, these aren’t the only programs in the game that reward stubs. Moments feature short objectives that can be completed in exchange for stubs and rewards, and Player Programs also include stub rewards. You can use these stubs to improve your Ballplayer.
While you can progress through most Programs purely through playing the game, keep an eye out for the missions listed at the bottom of each Program. Make sure you make progress and unlock as many Stubs and Show Packs as possible in the process.
Complete Moments
Moments are bite-sized gameplay challenges inspired by historical and contemporary baseball events. These challenges can be as simple as striking out a player, or as complex as sending a game into extra innings and getting a walk-off win.
Completing Moments will generally earn your stubs and program progress, as well as additional rewards. To maximize the number of stubs, you get when completing Moments, try to complete a full set of missions. Completing all levels in a given category will also reward you with an additional stub, which you can then use as you wish.
Achieve Collections
Undoubtedly, the best way to earn stubs without spending money is to complete Collections. When you open Show Packs, your Diamond Dynasty item binder will fill up. You can then tag any cards you collected, earning stubs and rewards.
There are different collections, and completing all the tasks in a single collection will reward you with a large amount of stubs at once for your efforts.
It is important to note that all player cards that enter Collections cannot be sold on Community Market afterwards. So be careful when collecting some cards to sell.
Winning Showdowns
Showdowns are single-player challenges where you’ll pick your starting lineup and complete Moments to improve your team and unlock perks in the process.
Unlike before, you usually have to spend Stubs to enter a Showdown, but if you succeed, then you’ll easily win back your MLB 24 Stubs and more.
For example, World Baseball Classic Showdown requires 500 Stubs to enter, but completing all the challenges means you’ll get 3,600 Stubs.
Play Mini Seasons
The exciting Mini Seasons have finally returned in MLB The Show 24. This actually allows you to complete Mini Seasons with other Diamond Dynasty rosters. Although the game is entirely single-player, you don’t have to compete online to complete these games.
The games are divided into three games, and once you complete the regular season, you can enter the playoffs to try to win Mini Seasons championship. There are many Mini Seasons to play this year, and all seasons have unique Team-Building Challenges to add variety to the game.
The rewards for this mode are very good and repeatable, so while you need to play a lot of games, winning Mini Seasons championship will earn you at least 5,000 Stubs, and you can achieve various other objectives to get other in-game rewards.
Unlock Conquest Maps
Conquest mode in Diamond Dynasty is another great way to maximize the number of Stubs you get.
Each Conquest Map has a list of objectives for you to complete, which usually rewards you with XP and Stubs. As you capture more territory on the map, you’ll also find hidden bonuses that sometimes reward you with Show Packs or Stubs.
One thing to keep in mind is that you should be aware of which objectives can be repeated. Playing some Conquest Maps over and over can reward you with a steady stream of Show Packs and Stubs.
Investing In Community Market
If you’re bold and careful and keep an eye on the market, investing in Community Market may be the best place for you to earn Stubs.
The key to this strategy is to focus on the price of MLB player cards and use your Stubs to buy cards of decreasing value. If you buy at the right time, you can sell the same card later for a profit.
It’s just a matter of keeping an eye on the average value of player cards over time. Promotions and real-world performance can have an impact on the overall value of a card.
That’s it for this Stub farming guide. Do you have other tips and tricks to help you earn Stubs efficiently and without spending money in MLB The Show 24? If so, share your wealth secrets. Have a great day!
