Roy Halladay was the most dominant pitcher in baseball for a full decade. His arsenal of deadly accurate fastballs devastated batters and his endurance enabled him to lead the league in innings pitched several times throughout his career. Now, with the arrival of the Halladay and Friends program, the legendary “Doc” Halladay, can anchor your Diamond Dynasty squad.. Here’s how to unlock Roy Halladay in MLB the Show 22.
How to Unlock Roy Halladay in MLB the Show
Halladay and Friends is a limited time program in Diamond Dynasty running from May 20 through June 3. Similar to other programs, you will be working your way up a series of rewards, similar to a battle pass. This can be a bit of a double edged sword. Nearly everything you do in The Show earns you XP, be it winning a World Series with your Franchise or success on the field with your Road to the Show Player, so you will always be making progress towards your next rank up. However, these XP rank up requirements can be high, with a full 200,000 XP required to unlock the featured card for Halladay himself. That’s potentially a significant time investment.
If you miss this limited time program, you will need to purchase Roy Halladay from the marketplace. At the time of publishing, he’s going for 19,000 Stubbs.
The good news is that the Halladay and Friends program comes with several built-in opportunities to help you quickly earn bonus XP.
