Road to the Show (RTTS)
In RTTS, your own created player can unlock Quirks as you progress in your career.
Passive / Attribute-Based Quirks
These are unlocked automatically once your player hits certain stat thresholds. For example:
Bomber – Reach Power vs. Righties and Lefties of 75+ (or 80+ for stronger versions).
Hitting Machine – Achieve Contact vs. Righties and Lefties of 75+.
Sniper / Cannon – Hit Arm Accuracy or Arm Strength of 90+.
Active Perks
Active Quirks mimic abilities of real-life pro players (like Dead Red). To unlock them:
Progress through college or pro milestones.
Choose the correct reward packages when given options.
Tip: Focus on milestones that reward hitting or pitching boosts—these often carry perks you can equip.
Diamond Dynasty (DD)
In Diamond Dynasty, Quirks are tied to the player cards themselves. You can’t manually add them.
How to Get Quirks
Acquire Better Cards – High-rated stars like Aaron Judge or Live Series cards come with multiple Quirks.
Packs & Programs – Complete seasonal programs, open packs, or buy cards from the Community Market to collect Quirks.
Active vs. Passive
Active Quirks: Only current-season players have them, providing gameplay boosts like larger PCI for certain swings.
Passive Quirks: Always apply, e.g., bonus power against lefties.
Franchise Mode
Franchise Quirks mostly stay as-is with the roster you start with.
Drafted Players – Prospects may develop a few Quirks naturally, but multi-Quirk prospects are rare.
Export / Import Trick – If you want a custom player with Quirks:
Export a real player that has the desired Quirks.
Import them into your roster.
Edit name and age to fit your created player.
This is the only reliable way to "transfer" Quirks onto a custom Franchise player.
Final Tips
Focus your RTTS player growth on attributes tied to the Quirks you want.
In Diamond Dynasty, target Live Series or top-tier stars for the best Quirks.
For Franchise, consider export/import for a fully customized player with multiple desired Quirks.
Quirks are powerful when used right—they can give your player an edge in clutch moments, precise throws, or against tricky pitchers. Knowing where and how to unlock them is key to dominating MLB The Show 26.
