When players join your favorite sports team, you often get attached and invested in their success over the course of many months. Sadly, these connections are often severed as teams engage in trade deals and aggressive free-agent signings every year. It’s a cruel reality of sports, but it also means new players get to join your preferred squad.

PXP Missions
PXP refers to Parallel XP, the experience your players accrue in Diamond Dynasty. They can earn some just by being placed in your active roster, but their growth is greatly expedited by making good plays, like hitting a home run or punching out a batter. Use New Threads players after unlocking them to garner PXP, gaining you stars and helping you finish the Program.
