The Cityscapes Conquest map in MLB The Show 26, released on May 1, 2026, is packed with hidden rewards that can seriously boost your Diamond Dynasty roster. The best part? You don’t always need to play games to get them—capturing the right territories is often enough.
Hidden Reward Locations
Certain tiles on the map hold special rewards. Here’s what to look for:
Ballin' is a Habit Pack (x1) – Usually tucked near a major city stronghold or in a quiet corner of the map.
The Show Packs (x6) – Scattered across the map. Systematically capture open territories to reveal them.
Completion & Goal Rewards
Fully clearing the map and completing its missions nets even bigger bonuses:
Player Reward: 90 OVR Richie Sexson (Cityscapes Series, 1B)
XP Bonus: 4,000 XP for completing the map
Pack Bundle: 1 Deluxe Pack, 1 Deluxe Cityscapes Pack, 2 Headliners Packs, 2 Ballin' is a Habit Packs, and 2 additional The Show Packs
Beginner Tips for Cityscapes Conquest
Expand Quickly: Start by taking as many empty territories as you can. More fans per turn = stronger reinforcements and easier attacks.
Simulate Non-Strongholds: Save time by simulating games in regular territories. Only play the manual 3-inning matches when attacking Strongholds.
Difficulty Management: The more fans you stack compared to the enemy, the easier the game becomes (Rookie or Veteran instead of All-Star).
Skip “Steal Fans”: Unless required for a specific map goal, this phase is usually a waste of time. Focus on reinforcing and attacking instead.
Progressing Toward Cityscapes Collection
Cards earned from the Conquest map contribute to the Cityscapes Collection, unlocking top-tier players:

Capturing hidden rewards efficiently lets you stack packs, collect high-OVR players, and build a stronger team without grinding every single game.
