How to complete the World Baseball Classic Program quickly

The main way you engage with most of this program is through Moments. Moments are bite-sized challenges that typically challenge you to reproduce stats from those real-world games. Each moment is worth two points, and there are 35 moments you will earn 70 points. Once you’ve completed this, you’ll have access to some of the players in the program and can use them to earn additional program points by earning Parallel XP, which also gives each player +1 to every stat at level 1, up to +5 for each stat at level 5. Completing these PXP missions will reward you five points per player. The best way to earn PXP fast is to add World Baseball Classic players to your team and play them in 9-inning games either online or against the CPU. Keep in mind that while you get more PXP for playing online, if you do well in an offline game, you’ll get there faster.

If nine-inning games aren’t your thing, you can earn Conquest with the World Baseball Classic 30 points. Conquest games consist of three innings, with stamina rates tailored to match. So keep that in mind when using pitchers.

Once you’ve gotten some of the higher value cards, you might want to try playing the World Baseball Classic event. The event rewards two points per win. While playing online can be frustrating at first, once you’ve got some of the 97 OVR cards, all you have to do is wait for good pitches.

Finally, you can play the World Baseball Classic Showdown to earn 25 points. It’s important to point out that Showdown is a place where you do things not Earn PXP. The 25 points you earn will still net you some nice rewards.

Who should you pick in the Around the World Choice Pack?

As described above, towards the end of the program you will be given a choice pack. This selection pack is packed with seven different 97 OVR players, with the slight twist that you have a 33% chance of drawing a 99 OVR card. Here’s a look at those three cards.
