If you don’t mind the big push behind trading card games in sports titles, you’ve likely played Diamond Dynasty or something roughly equivalent to it in any of EA’s plethora of games. As per usual, however, MLB The Show 21 really places an emphasis on playing online in leagues with your friends. If that’s not your thing, you’re relegated to less well developed game modes. The main single player Diamond Dynasty mode in MLB The Show is called Conquest. It’s this weird territory, Risk-like experience where you need to take over the map and defeat opposing teams in three inning matches. Explaining that mode is for another day, however. In this guide, we’re going to highlight all of the hidden rewards we’ve managed to find across the various maps.

2nd Inning Martian Conquest Tips
The first new conquest map comes with some really good rewards.
Rewards: 500 Stubs, a Standard Pack, and a 5 pack bundle hidden in the corner.
Mystery Map
For most players, this is your first chance to encounter hidden rewards. Considering it’s in the description of the Conquest, that shouldn’t come as a surprise.
In total you can earn 300 Stubs, a free Standard pack, and a passable Rickey Henderson card which is rated at 75.
#42 Challenge
If you’re going in order, this is your first real map and there’s a lot to miss out on. You’ve only got one opponent here and while you might be tempted to just rush through to defeat the Dodgers, you’re rewarded for exploring the map.
Rewards: 450 Stubs, 750 XP, and four free Standard packs.
First Inning Diamond
Next up is the First Inning Diamond map where you have to face off against six different opponents. This one is significantly more difficult or at the very least, time consuming. Unfortunately, the hidden rewards don’t really scale up to account for that.
Rewards: 500 Stubs, 100 XP, two free Standard packs, one free Ballin’ Pack.
East Affinity
To kick things off, the developers have put the first hidden reward of 2,000 Stubs right next to the Toronto Blue Jays. You can’t miss it.
Rewards: 2000 Stubs, four Standard packs, one Ballin pack.
Central Affinity
This time around the 2,000 Stubs are hidden away off in a corner which you could potentially miss.
Rewards: 2000 Stubs, four Standard packs, one Ballin pack.
West Affinity
The West is an elephant, I guess. If you want those 2,000 Stubs you’re going to need to get right up against the LA Dodgers. Good luck!
Rewards: 2000 Stubs, four Standard packs, one Ballin pack.
Nation of Baseball Challenge
This is by far the hardest challenge in Conquest currently. We’re still working our way through this one and will update this guide with the hidden rewards once we’ve found them all!
