Alright, folks, let’s talk about getting traded in MLB The Show 23. I’ve been messing around with this for a while, and it’s not as simple as you might think. Here’s what I’ve learned from my time playing.
Starting Out
So, I started my Road to the Show career, got drafted, and started playing. I was hoping to get to the majors and then maybe switch teams if things weren’t working out. I played through my first season, got to the majors, and thought, “Okay, now how do I ask for a trade?”
Trying to Figure It Out
First thing I did was look through the menus. I went into “My Player” and then “Interactions,” but there was no “Request Trade” option like in older games. I even checked online, and some folks said you can’t directly request a trade. Others mentioned something about talking to your agent. But I thought maybe it’s just too early in my career to ask for a trade.
Agent Interactions
As I kept playing, I got these random pop-ups to interact with my agent. These seemed important, so I always paid attention to them. I figured maybe I could hint at wanting a trade through these chats. I picked options that made it seem like I wasn’t happy with my current situation, hoping that would do something.
Franchise Mode and Force Trades
While messing around in Franchise mode, I found a setting called “Force Trades.” I thought, “Hey, maybe this is it!” So, I turned that on, went to the trade screen, and tried to set up a trade for myself. It worked, but it felt like cheating and not really part of the Road to the Show experience. Plus, it’s more of a manager thing, not what my player would do.
Waiting Game
From what I gathered, it seems like you gotta wait until you’re a few years into your career before the trade option becomes more realistic. Some people online said it took them until their fourth year before their agent even brought up the idea of a trade. And even then, it was more about being traded to a contender around the trade deadline.
Patience Is Key
So, after all this, I’ve realized that getting traded in MLB The Show 23 isn’t something you can just force easily, especially early on. It’s more about playing well, having those agent interactions, and waiting for the right opportunity. It’s kinda like real life, where you can’t just demand a trade and get it immediately.
My Current Situation
I’m still in my early years, so I haven’t been traded yet. But I’m keeping at it, trying to perform well and hoping my agent will eventually give me the option to request a trade. It’s a bit of a waiting game, but it makes sense. You gotta earn your stripes before you can start making big demands.
Conclusion
In the end, getting traded in MLB The Show 23 is a process. It’s not as simple as clicking a button. You gotta play the game, interact with your agent, and be patient. It’s frustrating at times, but it also makes it more realistic and rewarding when it finally happens. I’ll keep playing and see how things go, but for now, that’s my experience with trying to get traded in MLB The Show 23.
