Okay, so lemme tell you about this whole “egg hunt” thing in MLB The Show 24. Man, it was a grind, but kinda fun in a messed up way.
First off, I heard whispers about it online. People were saying you could snag some crazy good cards by finding these hidden “eggs” throughout the game. So, naturally, I dove right in. Didn’t even know what I was looking for at first. I just knew “eggs” and “rewards.”
I started by just playing the game normally. You know, grinding some Conquest maps, playing some moments, just the usual stuff. Figured if these eggs were hidden, they’d probably be in places you wouldn’t expect. Boy, was I right.
Then I saw some hints. Forums and YouTube videos started popping up. “Check in the menus!” “Look closely at the loading screens!” Stuff like that. So, I’m going through every single menu, staring at every loading screen like a hawk. It was tedious, I ain’t gonna lie.
I spent a solid hour just clicking around in the Diamond Dynasty mode. I was in the collections menu, staring at these tiny little icons, and BAM! There it was. A faint, almost invisible egg hidden behind one of the player cards. I damn near jumped out of my chair.
Finding that first egg was a rush. Redeemed it, got a pretty decent player card, and that just fueled the fire. I was on a mission. I needed to find them all.
The next one was a real pain. I swear, I must’ve played 50 different Moments before I stumbled upon it. It was hidden in the background of the pre-game screen, barely noticeable. I’m talkin’ pixel hunting levels of hard.
- I checked every menu.
- I played every game mode.
- I watched every cutscene.
I started getting paranoid. I thought I was seeing eggs everywhere. A slightly off-colored patch of grass in a game? “Egg!” Nope. Just grass. A weirdly shaped cloud in a loading screen? “Egg!” Nope. Just a cloud. It was driving me nuts.
But eventually, after what felt like an eternity, I found them all. All the freakin’ eggs. The rewards weren’t always amazing, but that feeling of accomplishment? That was worth it. Got a couple of really good cards that boosted my Diamond Dynasty squad. I was stoked.
My advice if you’re gonna try this “egg hunt” thing? Be patient. Be observant. And maybe grab a magnifying glass. Some of those suckers are TINY. Don’t get discouraged, and remember, it’s just a game. But if you’re like me, you’ll get sucked in. Good luck and happy hunting!
The Takeaway
Honestly, it was a decent way to keep me engaged. It forced me to explore different parts of the game I wouldn’t normally play. I still think they could’ve made the eggs a little less hidden, but hey, that’s part of the challenge, right?
