Okay, let’s talk about if you can request a trade on MLB The Show 24.
So, I’ve been grinding away at Road to the Show in MLB The Show 24, as one does. You know, living out my baseball dreams, trying to make it to the big leagues. But things weren’t going my way. My player, a promising young shortstop, was stuck in the minors, languishing in Double-A. I was hitting dingers, stealing bases, playing solid defense, but still no call-up. The big club’s shortstop was underperforming, but they just wouldn’t give me a shot. It was frustrating, to say the least. I wanted to move up. That’s when I started wondering, “Can I just ask for a trade?” I felt like a change of scenery might do me some good, get me onto a team that actually needed my skills.
So I dove into the menus, poking around everywhere. I scoured the “My Player” section, checked under “Transactions,” and even looked in the “Settings.” Nothing. I couldn’t find a button, no option, zilch. I started thinking maybe it wasn’t possible. Could this be true? This game is all about simulating the baseball life. Not allowing to ask for a trade is a bummer. I remember in older versions of the game, you could actually request a trade, so I figured it had to be in there somewhere, right? I was getting pretty desperate, not going to lie. I even considered starting over with a new player, but I’d put so much time into this one. No way. I was determined to find a way.
Then I thought, maybe it’s something that unlocks later in your career? Maybe you have to reach a certain overall rating or play a certain number of games? So I kept playing. I was tearing it up in the minors, hoping that my performance would somehow trigger the option to request a trade. I played another month in-game. Nothing. Still stuck on that Double-A team, with no trade request option in sight. My skills are improving, but there is no way for me to change the club.
Finally, I turned to the internet for help. It was time to use the internet. I did a quick search and found some forums and articles about MLB The Show 24. It took a little digging, but I finally found the answer. I read from the search result. It looks like requesting a trade is tied to your agent’s conversations. It’s not something you can initiate directly. You have to wait for your agent to bring it up, and that only happens at certain points in the season, like around the trade deadline or during the offseason. Also, it will be triggered after you reach the higher level. It’s not what I wanted to hear, but at least I had an answer. It was a bit of a letdown, honestly. I mean, what if my agent doesn’t bring it up? What if I’m stuck on this team forever? It is totally out of my control.
My conclusion
- You can’t just request a trade whenever you want in MLB The Show 24’s Road to the Show mode.
- It’s tied to your agent and happens at specific times.
- You have to wait for your agent to bring it up.
- You need to go to higher level to trigger this option.
It’s kind of a bummer, but I guess it makes the game more realistic in a way. You can’t always get what you want in baseball, right? You gotta keep grinding, keep performing, and hope that things work out in the end. So, that’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to keep playing my heart out and see where this journey takes me. Maybe I’ll get traded, maybe I won’t. But one thing’s for sure: I’m not giving up on my big league dreams just yet. I will keep going and wait for that day.
