Developer Notes
Developer San Diego Studio released an explanation as to why they made changes to Ranked Seasons & Battle Royale Program Rewards. It centers around the conversations players have been having about reward path players now being non-sellable. According to the dev notes:
“When the Battle Royale program was first implemented, the goal of the program was to ensure that no matter your skill level, you would not be gated from flawless rewards. Our design intent was to provide an avenue for the player who could not go 12-0 to still be able to enjoy some of the rewards in the program, and we feel we’ve been successful in that regard.”
But over time players began to sell their reward path players to get stubs for use in other areas of the game. The developer's intention was not to have the program players be immediately discarded. So they created a middle-ground that prevents this, but also still helps players receive good rewards.
Now, any player regardless of skill level can still access all the rewards from the program. It doesn't matter if you don't go. 12-0 in Battle Royale or make the World Series in Ranked Seasons, you can still get them. And there will still be sellable cards that you can get via:
- Win streaks
- Win thresholds
- Climbing the ratings leaderboard (A new Co-Op Ranked Leaderboard has arrived, which also gives players a chance to earn additional Ranked Seasons Awards).
MLB The Show 23 is available for Playstation 5, Playstation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch.
