Okay, folks, gather ’round, gather ’round! I’ve got a story for ya, a tale of trials and tribulations in the world of MLB The Show 24. I’m gonna share how I went about figuring out this whole “request a trade” business, ’cause let me tell ya, it ain’t as simple as it sounds.
So, I fire up the game, jump into Road to the Show, and I’m playin’ my heart out, right? But things ain’t goin’ my way. I’m stuck on a team that just doesn’t feel right, and I’m itchin’ for a change of scenery. Now, in the older games, it was easy-peasy. You’d just have a little chat with your agent, tell ’em you’re unhappy, and boom, trade request. But in MLB The Show 24, they’ve changed things up. There’s no more “request trade” button to click. Vanished like a bad dream. So, there I was, stuck and frustrated.
But I’m not one to give up easily. I started diggin’ around, explorin’ every nook and cranny of the menus. I went to the “My Player” section, then to “Interactions,” thinkin’ maybe there’s somethin’ hidden in there. Nope, nothin’. It’s like the developers decided to play hide-and-seek with the trade request feature.
I even tried talkin’ to my agent, just like the good old days. But it was like talkin’ to a wall. The option to discuss a trade was nowhere to be found. I’m tellin’ ya, it felt like the game was mockin’ me. But then I thought, “Hey, maybe it’s not about askin’ directly. Maybe it’s about showin’ them I’m serious.” So, I started playin’ even harder. I’m hittin’ dingers, makin’ incredible plays, boostin’ my stats like there’s no tomorrow. I figured, if I show ’em I’m a top-tier player, maybe they’ll get the hint that I want out.
And you know what? It kinda worked. After a few games of playin’ like a man possessed, I get a message. It wasn’t a trade offer, but it was a sign that the team was payin’ attention. They acknowledged my performance, but no talk of a trade. Still, it was somethin’.
So, what’s the takeaway here? Well, it seems like in MLB The Show 24, you can’t just outright request a trade anymore. It’s more about performin’ well and hopin’ the team notices you’re not happy. It’s a bit of a roundabout way of doin’ things, but hey, that’s how it is. You gotta play the game, both on and off the field.
Here’s what I did, step-by-step:
- Started playin’ in Road to the Show mode.
- Tried findin’ the “Request Trade” option in the “My Player” and “Interactions” menus. No luck.
- Tried talkin’ to my agent about a trade, but the option wasn’t there.
- Focused on playin’ exceptionally well to get the team’s attention and hopefully signal my desire for a trade.
- Got a message from the team acknowledging my performance, but no trade offer yet.
It’s a bit of a grind, and it’s definitely not as straightforward as it used to be. But if you’re like me and you’re determined to get traded, just keep playin’ your heart out. Show ’em what you’re made of, and maybe, just maybe, they’ll get the message. It ain’t easy, but nothin’ worthwhile ever is. Keep swingin’, folks!
