In MLB The Show 25, besides using card packs or trading players with stubs in the free market, there are many ways to get new players. Team Affinity 1 Program is a way to replenish your players in large quantities.
There are 90 player cards in Team Affinity 1 Program now. Their lowest score is 78 points, which is a silver card, and the highest OVR is 86 points. All cards in Team Affinity 1 Program cannot be traded through stubs. You need to complete team affinity tasks to automatically unlock these cards.
So which cards are the best among these 90 cards? OVR is not the only rating standard. Let’s take a look at which cards are most worth using.
85 OVR Hank Thompson is the third baseman for Giants. He can also play left and right field and second base. Although his contact is average, he has excellent defensive ability.
This card is currently ranked 37th among third basemen and has 4 quirks.
85 OVR Craig Biggio is a catcher for Astros who can also play left field and center field. Good catchers are always very rare in MLB 25, and Craig Biggio is also very good at hitting as a catcher.
What’s more worth mentioning is that Craig Biggio not only has excellent defense, but his speed is even better. He has 88 Speed and Stealing data, and has 8 quirks, currently ranking 13th among all catchers. A catcher with a similar ranking needs about 10,000 MLB The Show 25 stubs.
86 OVR Frank Thomas is a first baseman from White Sox. His contact stats are average, and he is relatively good against left-handed pitchers. What is really good about this card is that he has 8 quirks, which allows him to perform at a level beyond his stats.
85 OVR Kyle Schwarber is a left fielder from Phillies who can also play as a designated hitter. Kyle Schwarber’s power is unquestionable, but his weakness is his low right-hand contact data. This card has 6 quirks, making Kyle Schwarber’s batting elusive, and he currently ranks 51st among all left fielders.
85 OVR Rollie Fingers is Brewers’ closer, and his stats as a relief pitcher are pretty good. Rollie Fingers has very good pitching skills, and his sinker, slider, and forkball are all top-notch.
85 OVR Rollie Fingers ranks 30th among all closers, and has 4 quirks, so he can attack the enemy at the critical moment of the team.
85 OVR Andrew Miller is Guardians’ relief pitcher, with similar stats to Rollie Fingers. Andrew Miller is a very tough pitcher to play against, with a 105 H/9 that makes it very difficult for opposing batters to hit.
Andrew Miller has 4 quirks that can improve his ability as a relief pitcher, and he ranks 25th among all RP. The next best pitcher is Mark Davis, who is valued at 3,000 stubs.
George Brett is the third baseman for Royals. He has a high contact score and can hit all kinds of tricky pitches from the opponent. His power is slightly lacking, and he is best at hitting pitches from the left.
George Brett has 8 quirks, which greatly improves his offensive level and ranks 29th among third basemen.
Justin Martinez is a relief pitcher for Diamondbacks, specializing in Sinker, 4-Seam Fastball and Splitter. His characteristic is that his ball speed is super fast, not only with 99 Velocity data, but also with the improvement brought by Outlier I.
Although this card only has 3 quirks, he can still rank 23rd among relief pitchers.
Babe Ruth is the right fielder of Yankees team. His contact and power attributions make his offense unstoppable. What makes him even more powerful is that he has 8 quirks, which makes him a strong bat in your team.
Team Affinity Cards are not only collectible, but also have high usage value. Try to put them in your team, and they may help you save a lot of stubs.
With the arrival of May, May Spotlight 1 Program is finally online. The players in focus this May are Kyle Stowers, Kyle Manzardo and Zach Agnos. As long as you complete the corresponding tasks, you can unlock the diamond cards of these three characters.
In addition to the three diamond cards, the rewards of May Spotlight 1 Program also include MLB The Show 25 pack and XP, but there are no stubs. This is a very short program, and it won’t take up too much of your time.
88 OVR Kyle Manzardo is a first baseman from Cleveland Guardians. He is 24 years old and only entered the major leagues last year. He has hit 14 home runs so far, but it is clear that we don’t know enough about this rookie yet.
This card currently ranks 28th among all first basemen and has only 1 quirk. His hitting attributes are very good, but still a little behind the top hitters. His baserunning speed is not fast, but his defensive attributes are OK.
This card is not the top of the 88 OVR cards, but it is enough to be a temporary replacement when you are short of a first baseman. If it can be traded, its value is about 20,000 stubs. Here are some attributes of this card:
88 OVR Zach Agnos is a closer for Colorado LA Clippers. He made his major league debut on April 20, 2025.
Zach Agnos has a fast pitching speed, which has attracted the attention of scouts, and this is also reflected in this card. Although this card does not have any quirks, his excellent statistics are enough to make up for this shortcoming.
Currently, this card ranks 14th among relief pitchers. He is particularly good at Splitter and Fastball Running.
Here are some attributes of this card:
91 OVR Kyle Stowers is a right fielder for Marlins. He made his major league debut in June 2022. He originally played for Golden Eagles and was traded to Marlins in 2024.
Kyle Stowers is good at handling pitches from the right side. His Contact Right and Power Right attributes are very good. In contrast, he performs very poorly when facing pitches from left-handed pitchers. The advantage of this card is that it is relatively fast. His base running and stealing speed are very good.
This card currently ranks 17th among all right fielders, and is very similar to Christian Yelich, who ranks 20th, without the quirks, and that card is worth 110,000 MLB The Show 25 Stubs.
Here are some of Kyle Stowers’ attributes:
Complete 8 Moments (24 points)
Drop 1 Missions:
Stat Missions
Each of these missions is fairly easy to complete, as Marlins and Twins have a lot of players. 73 OVR Marlins Nick Fortes and 72 OVR Twins Ty France are both great candidates for Stat Missions, and both only require around 35 stubs, which also allows you to complete Team Affinity Mission.
Optional Collection Missions
These are the rewards for May Spotlight 1. Although these three cards are not top-notch, they are above average and can play a role in your team. There will be new cards in the May Spotlight series, so let’s wait and see.
Diablo 4 Season 8 released Patch 2.2.1 on all platforms on May 14, fixing some previous issues and improving the skills of some classes, creating a more fair competitive environment for players. This update will bring new content and experience to players.
Diablo 4 Season 8 has been released for some time, and players have mixed reviews on the game. Since its launch, the developers have made some content adjustments to the game. Patch 2.2.1 released on May 14th brought great changes to the game.
The developers have made it too easy for players in recent issues to enter the final content. Most notably, every vlass in Diablo 4 will be enhanced, focusing on some of the currently weaker skills in order to provide players with a fair competitive environment, no matter which class they choose.
Among all classes, Spiritborn and Barbarian are undoubtedly the most enhanced, although each class will become more powerful in the future by upgrading gears and creating suitable builds. This requires a lot of Diablo 4 Gold to complete. The specific content is as follows:
Adaptive Stance
Vital Strikes
Prodigy Tempo
Twin Strikes
Aspect Of Dire Whirlwind
Earthen Might
Gathlen’s Birthright
Skeletal Priest
Aspect of Reanimation
Sanguivor, Blade of Zir
Poison Trap
Band of Ichorous Rose
Aspect Of Contamination
Shocking Impact:
Hail of Verglas
Glacial Aspect
There’s more to come in Diablo 4 Season 8. Hopefully these changes will carry over into the ongoing eighth season, as the developer works hard to please its loyal player base by rebalancing existing content.

The goal of Star Wars Partners event is to finish all four builds. You need to spin the event wheel to earn points, and each spin of the wheel will consume 20 Star Wars Partners tokens. You can set a multiplier before spinning the wheel, and your points will be multiplied by the multiplier you set.
Star Wars Partners can be played alone or in a group with up to 4 other friends. The points requirements are different for both, and the final rewards are also different. It is more difficult to play alone, but the rewards are less, so it is recommended to team up with active friends on your friends list.

But it should be noted that once you accept an invitation from another player, you cannot withdraw from your partner at this event, so choose carefully.
There is also a Cargo or Gift space. As long as you and your partner come to this location, you can give gifts to other partners. There are two types of rewards. One is visible rewards, such as dice, sticker packs and Partners Event tokens. The other is A mystery cargo gift. You don’t know what the gift is or how much it is, but it often gives more than the first one, so it’s worth a try.
There are many ways to earn game tokens in the game. As long as you play for a period every day, you can get tokens. There are several ways:
Quick Wins will reset every day and refresh three relatively simple tasks, such as upgrading buildings or moving your token to a certain grid. During Star Wars Partners event, Quick Wins rewards will include Partners Events tokens. After completing all Quick Wins each week, you can also get a weekly reward. The weekly reward is usually a five-star sticker pack, so don’t miss Quick Wins.
Free gifts are distributed in the store every eight hours. Gifts include sticker packs, dice, and Star Wars Partners tokens. You can receive rewards up to three times a day.
Between May 13th and 18th, each day’s Banner Events and tournaments will have a number of Star Wars Partners Tokens as milestone rewards. You don’t have to complete all the milestones, as the tokens are spread across all the milestone rewards, so take as many as you can while don’t waste your dice.
You’ll also find Star Wars Partners Tokens scattered around the board, so you can get some whenever you land on them. These are golden bars, so you can’t miss them. If you set a multiplier in advance, you’ll get more tokens.
Your Star Wars Partners events Partners may give you tokens via Cargo or Gift space, and you can also give tokens to other partners in this way.
Star Wars fans won’t want to miss the final reward of Monopoly Go Star Wars Partners event, but for non-fans, Swap Pack is a wonderful reward too, so team up with your friends to get all the rewards!
With the opening of 3rd Inning Program, a new round of Cornerstone Evolution Program is also open. This month’s evolution task is to evolve 83 OVR card to 90 OVR.
In Cornerstone Evolution Program, each player has a phased reward, including card packs, XP and stubs, etc. The last reward is the corresponding 90 OVR Cornerstone card. Players need to complete the task to get points to unlock the phased rewards.
83 OVR Ralph Kiner Mission
Stat Missions
90 OVR Cornerstone Ralph Kiner is a Pirates left fielder with power in both hands, making him a powerful hitter on your team. He has poor velocity stats, but he is a good defender.
This card is quite valuable because he has 9 quirks! He currently ranks 9th among left fielders. But he’s not much worse than 90 OVR Bryan Reynolds when you actually use him.
Here are some of his stats:
83 OVR Jim Palmer Missions
Stat Missions
90 OVR Cornerstone Jim Palmer is the starting pitcher for Orioles. His stats are good across the board, but his Stamina stat is especially good, allowing him to play consistently for long periods of time.
His 4-Seam Fastball and Slider are both good, but not great. This card has 3 quirks, currently ranking 11th among starting pitchers.
There are quite a few All-Star Series pitchers, and you can get the job done with 85 OVR Mark Davis, who is worth around 4,000 MLB The Show 25 Stubs. Or 86 OVR Tanner Houck, who is worth around 2,000 stubs.
The following are some properties of 90 OVR Cornerstone Jim Palmer:
83 OVR Justin Turner Missions:
Stat Missions:
90 OVR Cornerstone Justin Turner is a third baseman from Dodgers who is exceptionally good at handling pitches from the left, both contact left and power left. This card has 3 quirks, currently ranking 14th among all third basemen in the game.
None of Veteran hitters can be obtained through stubs trading, so the best candidate for this quest is 83 OVR Justin Turner, obtained in 3rd Inning Reward Path.
Here are some attributes of 90 OVR Cornerstone Justin Turner:
Of the three, 90 OVR Cornerstone Ralph Kiner is the most valuable, but I still recommend collecting all three 90 OVR cards, as they will help complete 99 OVR Scott Rolen collection quest. They will also be needed in the other Legends & Flashbacks Collections quests.
