In MLB The Show 25, Stubs are the backbone of Diamond Dynasty. They serve as the in-game currency for buying player cards, participating in events like Battle Royale and Showdown, and upgrading your squad. While you can purchase them with real-world money, there are plenty of ways to earn MLB 25 Stubs entirely through gameplay.
Whether you're a no-money-spent player or just looking to stretch your Stubs further, this guide breaks down the most reliable and profitable methods for building your in-game bankroll.
- Collections
Collections in Diamond Dynasty are one of the most consistent ways to earn Stubs over time. By locking in cards you've already acquired, you not only complete reward tracks but also accumulate Stubs, packs, and player upgrades.
Steps to Complete Collections:
Go to "Collections" under the "Collect" tab.
Pick a category, such as Starter Collections or Live Series Teams.
Select a specific collection like "Collect Common Players."
Highlight any cards you own that aren't marked "Collected" yet.
Press the "Advance" button to lock them in and earn your reward.
Repeat for all categories you can progress in.
Even if the Stub rewards seem small at first, completing multiple collections can snowball into thousands of MLB 25 Stubs while also unlocking valuable players.
- Diamond Quest
Diamond Quest is one of the most lucrative game modes for Stub hunters. You can repeatedly earn specific Diamond cards, and since they carry high sell values (often over 4,400 Stubs), selling them on the Marketplace can add up fast.
A well-practiced run in Diamond Quest can produce steady returns, especially if you flip the rewards right away while market demand is high.
- Conquest
Conquest isn't just about taking over maps, it's a treasure hunt for free rewards. Many maps include goals that directly award Stubs when completed, sometimes without requiring you to play any full games.
You can simulate games to take territories and still claim these Stub bonuses. Combine this with the hidden packs scattered across maps, and Conquest can be a double win: more players for collections and extra MLB Stubs for your wallet.
