How to Unlock Miguel Cabrera in MLB The Show 26: Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Unlock the 95 OVR Miguel Cabrera
The first “Miggy” card available is a 95 OVR Diamond, which acts as a stepping stone for higher-tier rewards.
How to Get It:
- Enter Diamond Dynasty – From the main menu, select Diamond Dynasty.
- Access Collections – Navigate to the Collect tab, then choose Collections.
- Complete Required Sets – Miguel Cabrera is typically a reward for completing milestones in the Legends & Flashbacks (L&F) collection or a similar mini-collection.
- Collect Vouchers – You may need vouchers from other program cards (like Merrill, Garcia, or Jackie Robinson) to fully unlock Cabrera.
- Redeem Reward – Lock in the required cards or vouchers to receive the non-sellable 95 OVR Miguel Cabrera.
Pro Tip: Focus on completing the mini-collections methodically to avoid overspending stubs or missing necessary cards.
Step 2: Unlock the 99 OVR Signature Series Miguel Cabrera
Once the 95 OVR card is yours, the ultimate 99 OVR Signature Series version is the next goal.
How to Unlock It:
- Complete Career Tribute Programs – Historically, Cabrera’s top-tier cards require completing stat-based milestones like accumulating hits, home runs, or RBIs with lower-tier versions of his card.
- Play Moments – Access the Moments menu to tackle challenges tied to Cabrera’s career highlights, such as hitting milestone home runs or multi-hit games.
- Earn Program Points – Completing Moments and Tribute challenges rewards points that progress toward unlocking the Signature Series card.
Strategy Tip: Prioritize offline Missions or Mini Seasons for controlled stat accumulation, then use online events for bonus points and multipliers if you’re aiming for efficiency.
Quick Tips for Efficient Grinding
- Plan Your Collection Route – Track which vouchers and cards are easiest to acquire first. Community tools like ShowZone can help optimize the order.
- Use Moments for XP – Many Moments count toward program completion while giving XP for your card’s upgrades.
- Watch the Market – Some voucher cards may be cheaper via Buy Orders rather than Buy Now. Timing purchases can save stubs.
By following these steps, you can efficiently unlock both the 95 OVR and the eventual 99 OVR Miguel Cabrera cards, adding one of the greatest right-handed hitters of all time to your Diamond Dynasty lineup. With careful planning, he’ll become a cornerstone of your squad in no time.
