: 22 maja 2026, o 02:35
The April Spotlight Drop 2 program is a prime opportunity to earn valuable rewards like 91 OVR Jo Adell and 91 OVR Carlos Correa. The program requires a total of 50 stars to complete, but with the right approach, you can finish it quickly with minimal grinding.
1. Knock Out the Moments First (32 Stars)
Start by completing all 8 Moments in the Drop 2 program. These are short single-player challenges designed to reward you immediately:
Completing all 8 Moments instantly grants 32 stars.
This gives you a head start, leaving only 18 stars needed from regular gameplay missions.
Moments are quick, so tackle them before anything else to maximize efficiency .
2. Set Up Your Optimal Missions Lineup
Next, structure your lineup to efficiently complete the statistical missions:
20 Hits with primary Outfielders (LF, CF, RF) – Stack your lineup with outfielders and a DH who qualifies. Include players with secondary positions in the infield to fill slots if necessary.
9 Innings Pitched with a primary Starting Pitcher (SP) – Use a reliable SP and leave them in for the entire game. You can “rent” high-rated pitchers like Sandy Alcantara or Michael Soroka from the Community Market to complete this requirement quickly.
3,000 Parallel XP (PXP) with Any Players – Progresses naturally in any game mode.
1,000 PXP with Spotlight or Topps Now Players – Plug in unlocked program rewards like Joey Wiemer or Jose Fernandez to finish this faster .
Stacking your lineup strategically allows you to hit multiple mission goals in a single offline game, minimizing time spent.
3. Efficient Game Mode Routes
Choose an offline mode that maximizes your stat accumulation:
"One and Done" CPU Strategy: Play a single-player game on Rookie difficulty using a small or high-elevation stadium. Bat your outfielders at the top of the order to secure hits and pitch complete games for the SP mission.
Conquest Synergy Strategy: Use the April Showers Conquest Map (3-inning games) to earn PXP while unlocking extra rewards like the 90 OVR Ryan Weathers. This doubles as a PXP grind and mission completion .
4. Market & Collection Tips
Do not quick-sell or discard any Spotlight or Topps Now cards from this program. They are required to complete the April Lightning Collection, which unlocks end-of-month high-tier rewards like Lightning Elly De La Cruz and Retro Lightning Chipper Jones.
Even if certain cards aren’t part of your active lineup, keeping them is crucial for collection progress and long-term value .
