Alright, so, I’ve been diving deep into “MLB The Show 24” lately, specifically the Road to the Show mode. I wanted to get my player traded to another team, you know, shake things up a bit. So, I started digging around, trying to figure out how to request a trade in the game.
First, I went straight to the game itself. I poked around in all the menus, trying to find anything that looked like a “request trade” option. I went to the interactions tab. But, guess what? Nothing. It turns out, “MLB The Show 24” doesn’t have that option anymore. Unlike the older games where you could just tell your agent you’re unhappy and want out. Nope, not this time.

So, I was stuck. I thought maybe there was some other way to trigger a trade. I hit up some online forums and articles to see what other players were saying. Some folks were talking about leveling up your stats. They said that the better you play, the more likely you are to be traded. It makes sense, I guess. If you’re a star player, other teams are gonna want you.
One thing I found out is that you need to “improve your leverage.” I tried talking to my agent in the game, and he basically told me I was stuck where I was because I didn’t have enough leverage. Apparently, you need to really up your game before the agent will even consider helping you get traded.
Now, there were also some tips about increasing the trade frequency in the settings. But it seems like that’s more of a general setting that affects the whole league, not just your player. I didn’t really want to mess with that, to be honest.
So, here’s what I did. I just kept playing, focusing on improving my stats. I took every opportunity to level up and get better at the game. It was a bit of a grind, but I was determined to get traded.
I had a few more chats with my agent, and slowly but surely, things started to change. He started mentioning that other teams were interested, and eventually, I got what I wanted – a trade offer!
Here’s a little summary of what I learned:
- You can’t directly request a trade in “MLB The Show 24” anymore.
- You need to level up your stats and improve your performance to get trade offers.
- Your agent will tell you that you have “no leverage” at first, so don’t get discouraged.
- Keep playing, keep improving, and eventually, you’ll get traded.
It’s a bit of a bummer that they removed the direct trade request option, but I guess it makes the game more realistic in a way. You gotta earn your way to a new team. So, that’s my experience trying to get traded in “MLB The Show 24.” It takes some work, but it’s definitely doable.
