The streamlined Team Affinity programs have been one of the better changes to Diamond Dynasty so far in MLB The Show 21. Knocking out a couple Showdowns or just playing some games feels much more rewarding this go around. With that in mind, we just want to highlight the 30 Team Affinity Season 1 players. They are all part of the 42 Series, along with the 10 pre-order players.
Team Affinity Season 1
Before getting to the players, it’s also worth highlighting the general reward structure for each of the six divisions. You now have six divisions rather than 30 individual Team Affinity programs. In addition, you are now capped at doing three “exchanges” but can still do an infinite number of Showdowns to snag vouchers. In addition, there are still Moments, Conquest, March to October, and Missions as other ways to accrue TA points.

Bottom Line
At first glance, I’m not sure which division would be the best to attack first, I would just say maybe don’t sleep on some of the golds you can get along the way here either. There are some real fan favorites in here like Prince Fielder, Larry Walker, Kelvin Herrera, and this is all before you even get to the 42 Series players for each division.
