May Topps Now MLB The Show 23 is an honor of special moments that active players have experienced. The Topps players are divided for every week of the month.
The Diamond Dynasty mode in the game constantly releases new content and programs. Topps Now program is one of the most sought-after series for fans, sponsored by Topss, the leading card collective company in the States.
The series recognizes and celebrates active players' special moments and achievements during the season. The program is released weekly and acknowledges the events that occurred in the previous week.

Topps Now Cards
MLB The Show Topps Now cards are inspired by the previous week's moments on the real-world field. Topps Now is the longest-running program series in the game.
Fans can collect all the athletes from the series. They require points to get the rewards in the program's reward path.
The series is updated every Friday, and new rewards are added. So, gamers have a week to accumulate points and collect all the rewards of that week.
The prizes are separated at intervals of two points each. Collecting two points will reward you with the first prize, whereas four points will result in the second, and so on.
Fans can earn points by completing the moments given in the rewards path. Completing a moment results in two points, and each series consist of more than 11-12 moments.
Another way of garnering points is by using the athletes you get from the series in other modes like Ranked Season and accumulating 1000 XP points. Completing all the moments and using the athletes to generate PXP will result in enough points to complete the series.
