Okay, so, I’ve been grinding away at “Road to the Show” in MLB The Show for a while now, and I got drafted to a team that, well, let’s just say it wasn’t my top pick. I’ve been putting up some decent numbers, but I’m just not feeling the vibe, you know? So, naturally, the big question popped into my head: can you actually request a trade in this mode?
I started digging around online, forums, and the game menu, all that stuff. It looks like a ton of people have this same question. I spent a good chunk of time trying to figure it out. Most of the advice was pretty generic, like “play well” and “wait for the right time.” Nothing solid.
Then I decided to just try things out myself. First, I checked every menu and sub-menu in the “My Player” section. I looked at my interactions with the manager and agent, trying to find anything that resembled a “trade request” option. I played a bunch of games, bumped my player’s stats, and kept my eyes peeled for any changes or new options.
- I focused on improving my player’s performance, hoping that would trigger something.
- I paid close attention to any dialogue or cutscenes with my agent or manager, thinking maybe a hint would be dropped there.
- I even tried simulating a few weeks ahead to see if that would speed things up, and I also finished one full season.
After all that, I finally stumbled upon something. It turns out, you can’t directly request a trade through a button or a menu option. It’s more of an indirect thing. What I found is that your agent will eventually bring it up. And I can finally get traded to another team through my agent, just like what I wanted! But you have to play really well or simulate to make it happen.
My Final Thoughts
So, yeah, you kinda can request a trade in “Road to the Show,” but it’s not as straightforward as you might think. You gotta put in the work, play well, and wait for your agent to do their thing. It’s a bit of a waiting game, but it is possible! It’s not a clear-cut button, but if you perform well enough, your agent will eventually ask you about a trade.
