What is the Incognito Series in MLB The Show 23? Season 2 of MLB The Show 23 is live. And many fans have been immersing themselves into all the new changes it comes with. Though the Season 2 improvements and features cater to most of the modes MLB The Show 23 has to offer, the vast majority of new content that launched is for those that play the fun and engaging online mode, Diamond Dynasty.
Over the course of Season 1, Diamond Dynasty fans saw firsthand just how many awesome new player items MLB The Show 23 released. And from the looks of it, Season 2 contains a similar if not better collection of new content. Over Season 1, one of the most popular new player collections was that of the Charisma Series. But here in Season 2, fans have a new collection of players they can now secure from the Team Affinity Program and elsewhere in Diamond Dynasty, presenting none other than the new, Incognito Series.
Living up to its title, the Incognito Series celebrates a variety of current and former MLB stars and their iconic nicknames they made for themselves while playing in the league. Though the Team Affinity Program contains the biggest set of Incognito Series players, it is by no means the only location where they can be found.
In this guide, we cover all of the new, star-studded diamond players fans can secure from the Incognito Series and how they can go about doing so. Without further ado, let’s have a look at all the new Incognito Series players MLB The Show 23 released to go along with their treasured nicknames.
MLB The Show 23 – Incognito Series Players
The new MLB The Show 23 Incognito Series is one of the biggest additions out of all the new collections that arrived in Season 2. Considering it’s featured in the Team Affinity Program, Season 2 Reward Path, Ranked, Battle Royale, and has players in the Pack Market – such as the Alter Ego Pack – the Incognito Series is extensive, and we are here to assist you with staying on top of all the important details you need to know about it.
As you start to collect more of these new players, you will not only enjoy using them, but you will also be able to appreciate their nicknames highlighted throughout the game instead of seeing their normal ones they have. So Nestor Cortes Jr., for example, will appear as ‘Nasty Nestor’ instead. But enough about that! Up first, we have the Team Affinity Incognito Series players.
Team Affinity Incognito Series Players
As mentioned earlier, the biggest collection of Incognito Series players can be located in the Team Affinity Program. All American League and National League divisions come with five Incognito Series players, one from each team for every division.
In order to secure these new Team Affinity Incognito Series players, fans need to progress through each division’s rewards path by completing moments, missions, conquests, showdowns, and more. Upon doing so, you will be able to unlock the Team Affinity Incognito Series Choice Packs – there’s a total of five in each division. With only five players available in every choice pack, fans can secure all five Incognito Series players as they complete each division’s reward path.
