MLB The Show 22: How to complete Extreme Program and how it works

Publish date: 2024-06-28

How the Extreme Program works

The premise of the Extreme program is quite simple. Normally, moments in MLB The Show are on easier difficulties, and the missions needed to complete programs generally require some, but not too much work to complete. This program is much more difficult, as it will require users to play on higher difficulties. That’s because many of the moments for this program are at All-Star or higher, and the time and accomplishments needed to finish are much tougher.

For example, one moment requires users to get 10 bases in a game with Carlos Delgado. Another asks users to re-create the Mets’ major comeback victory against the Phillies earlier this year, by coming back from a six-run deficit.

To get to the 100 Point mark in the cleanest path, here’s what you can do:

Complete the 10 Moments (30 pts. – 3 pts. each)
Complete the six Parallel PXP Missions (33 pts.):
- REPEATABLE: Tally 25,000 PXP with any players in Ranked Seasons, Battle Royale, Events, Play vs. CPU, Mini Seasons, or Conquest (3 pts.)
- Tally 500 PXP with 99 OVR Kerry Wood in Ranked Seasons, Battle Royale, Events, Play vs. CPU, Mini Seasons, or Conquest (2 pts.)
- Tally 1,250 PXP with 99 OVR Kerry Wood in Ranked Seasons, Battle Royale, Events, Play vs. CPU, Mini Seasons, or Conquest (3 pts.)
- Tally 3,000 PXP with 99 OVR Kerry Wood in Ranked Seasons, Battle Royale, Events, Play vs. CPU, Mini Seasons, or Conquest (5 pts.)
- Tally 5,000 PXP with 99 OVR Kerry Wood in Ranked Seasons, Battle Royale, Events, Play vs. CPU, Mini Seasons, or Conquest (10 pts.)
- Tally 10,000 PXP with 99 OVR Kerry Wood in Ranked Seasons, Battle Royale, Events, Play vs. CPU, Mini Seasons, or Conquest (10 pts.)
Complete Extreme Showdown (25 pts.)
Complete Extreme: The Kraken Conquest (25 pts.)

Not all of the Moments have to be completed for this program The repeatable mission, combined with the other missions and the Conquest can be parlayed into a good boost toward progress in the Extreme Program. However, getting 10,000 PXP with 99 OVR Kerry Wood, which moves that card into Parallel V, would yield 30 pts. in total. So, once you get that Wood, progress toward this program should get a lot easier.

Users who are able to obtain any of the four cards can collect them and acquire XP for the Dog Days of Summer program. Each of the four cards will yield 30,000 XP, for a grand total of 120,000 XP for those who can get the four before September 1.
