MLB The Show 22 May Monthly Awards Program: How to complete it, Lightning Jim Rice & Rafael Devers, rewards, and more

MLB The Show 22 is here to celebrate the halfway point of May. That means a completely new Monthly Awards program has begun. This one is for the month of May, and it's packed with new challenges, rewards, and packs, much like the April Monthly Awards Program. And if you're a Red Sox fan, this one should be particularly exciting. Users can get a 94 OVR Lightning Legend card of Jim Rice, a Red Sox legend and Baseball Hall of Famer, as well as the Lightning player for May 2022, Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers. So, what's the best way to get Rice, the 95 OVR Devers, and finish this program? Let's go over the specifics, as well as the benefits.

How to complete May Monthly Awards Program guide

The guidance for the May Monthly Awards Program is divided into stages. This one looks a lot like the one that went live in April. Users must complete a number of Moments, Missions, and Collections in order to proceed through the stages. Since the May Monthly Awards players have yet to be added to the game, the Topps Now Weekly Moments that are added each week are all that can be done at the moment. These have been incorporated into the Monthly Awards programs as of 2022. It's also worth noting that users won't be able to go to Stages 2 and 3 until those Monthly Awards players are added. This software will be updated with more Moments, Missions, and Collections for all three Stages once the Monthly Awards participants are introduced in June. These will most likely range from completing collections and earning PXP Points with Monthly Awards goods to Moments with Monthly Awards cards. Here's a breakdown of the duties that must be completed, organized by stage:

Stage 1

• Complete Topps Now Moments (2 pts. each – 26 Moments in total)
• Complete May Topps Now Collection (15 cards needed – 13 pts.)

Stage 2

• Complete May Monthly Awards Moments (3 pts. each – 11 Moments in total)
• Complete Required May Monthly Awards Collection (5 cards needed – 15 pts.)
• Complete Monthly Awards PXP Missions:
• 2,000 PXP with Topps Now cards in Ranked Seasons, Battle Royale, Events, Play vs. CPU, Mini Seasons, or Conquest (10 pts.)

Keep in mind that with the 15 pts. In monthly Awards missions, only players that can be obtained from the May program will yield progress towards the missions. However, any Topps Now cards will work towards the 2,000 PXP mission. You will only be able to make progress towards any of the missions listed above once Stage 1 is completed.

Stage 3

• 500 PXP with Lightning Rafael Devers in Ranked Seasons, Battle Royale, Events, Play vs. CPU, Mini Seasons, or Conquest (Repeatable – 10 pts.)
