Stubs” are the special currency used in MLB The Show 21 to make online purchases at The Show Shop in-game. They are often used to obtain The Show Packs to purchase tickets directly from other players through the Community Market. Other benefits may also be available, such as teams, stadium rarities, and more.
The most reliable way to earn stubs is by completing special challenges in the game. For example, finishing collections or playing all the Moments. These require nothing but time and effort, allowing the player to spend even more time playing the ball while completing their most important goals.
Also, competing and performing well on the shows will earn players their fair share of stubs. Progress through the programs involves completing various tasks and missions. This also includes a daily quest which, while it may not be a reward from Stubs, can be useful for the program and overall player progress.
Conquests can also be used to earn heels. As players progress through the “map,” they earn a variety of rewards, from experience points to The Show Packs and, on rare occasions, decent amounts of Stubs. While they may take longer, players generally find that they are worth it.
Those who are willing to spend some Stubs can participate in Showdowns for 500 Stubs. There is no guaranteed payout, but in case of success there is the possibility of 2100 Stubs.
Finally, there is always the community market. Like any other economy, the community market within MLB The Show 21 fluctuates according to the wishes of the members at the time. Stubs can be used for off-market purchases, which means they can be obtained by selling through the market. However, this is by far the riskiest option.
If none of this sounds appealing, stubs can always be purchased for real money through the PlayStation store, and now from Microsoft
