Can You Request a Trade in MLB The Show 24?
Well now, if you’re playin’ MLB The Show 24 and wonderin’ if you can just pick up the phone, call your agent, and ask to be traded like you might’ve done in some past games, I hate to break it to ya, but that ain’t an option no more. Used to be, you could go straight to your agent or your manager and tell ’em you ain’t happy with your team, and next thing you know, you’d be movin’ on to another club. But in this version, things ain’t quite so easy.

What Changed in MLB The Show 24?
See, back in the day, like in MLB The Show 22 and 23, there was a feature that let ya ask for a trade anytime you felt like it. It didn’t matter if you was in a slump or just didn’t get along with your teammates, you could let your agent know you was lookin’ for a change of scenery, and bam, they’d work it out. But this year? Nope, that option’s gone.
Now, if you wanna get traded in MLB The Show 24, you gotta wait for your agent to call ya up. And lemme tell ya, that call don’t come often. Sometimes, it might take a while before your agent checks in to see how things are goin’. Then, if you’re lucky, they might offer you a chance to move on. But, mostly, you’ll just be sittin’ there, hopin’ for that phone to ring.
How Do You Get Traded in MLB The Show 24?
So, how do you go about it? Well, like I said, your agent will give you a ring, usually when they ask how things are goin’. They might mention somethin’ like, “Hey, you look like you could use a fresh start, huh?” That’s when you jump at the chance and say, “Yep, I sure could!” Next thing you know, you’re headin’ off to a new team.
If you ain’t heard from your agent, though, there’s another way. You can also wait for a meetin’ with your manager. In those, you might get the chance to express how you feel. But just like with the agent calls, it don’t happen every day, so you’ll need some patience, that’s for sure.
What’s the Deal with the Trade Deadline?
Now, if you’re playin’ in the Road to the Show mode, you gotta keep an eye on the Trade Deadline too. That’s the last point in the season when teams can make trades. For MLB The Show 24, the Trade Deadline falls on July 30 at 6 p.m. ET. After that, if you’re still stuck on your team, well, you’ll just have to ride it out till next year.
Why Did They Remove the Option?
I’ve seen a lot of folks grumblin’ and complainin’ about how the folks at San Diego Studios (SDS) took away the option to request a trade. Some folks say they did it for no good reason, and I’m inclined to agree. But hey, I guess they had their reasons, even if I don’t quite get ’em. Some folks think it’s a more “realistic” approach, that you can’t just go askin’ for a trade on a whim, while others miss the old days when you had more control over your career. It’s a bit of a toss-up, really.

Is it Fair or Realistic?
Some folks are out there sayin’ that it’s more realistic, but I ain’t so sure. In real life, players can ask for trades, and sometimes they do. So, maybe it’s just a way to make the game more like the real thing, but I’d be lyin’ if I said I didn’t miss bein’ able to pick up that phone and ask for a change when things weren’t workin’ out. But that’s just how the game’s set up now.
At the end of the day, if you want a trade in MLB The Show 24, you’re gonna have to sit tight, wait for your agent to call, or hope you get a chance to talk to your manager. But don’t get your hopes up too high, ‘cause it might take a while.
Conclusion
So, if you’re hopin’ to request a trade in MLB The Show 24, you’re gonna have to be patient and let things play out. No more just callin’ up your agent and askin’ for a move. It’s a bit of a slower process now, but who knows? Maybe the next version will bring back the old feature. Until then, just hang tight and play the game the best ya can!
