Okay, so, I’ve been diving deep into “MLB The Show 24” lately, and one thing that’s been bugging me is how to successfully request a trade. It’s not as straightforward as you might think, so I took some notes while figuring it out. I figured I’d share my experience, step by step, in case anyone else is struggling with this.
First off, I started a new “Road to the Show” career. You know, the usual – created my player, got drafted by a team, and started grinding away in the minors. I made sure to play a good chunk of games, at least 20-30, just to get my feet wet and improve my player’s stats. I focused on what I was good at, like hitting home runs. Because, let’s be real, everyone loves a good home run streak.

After a while, I felt like I was ready to move on, but the game wasn’t giving me the option to request a trade. I was crushing it in the minors, but still no trade option! That’s when I realized you gotta be patient. You can’t just rush it. So I kept playing, focusing on my performance, and made sure I was at the top of my game, hitting those dingers and making those plays.
Then, around the All-Star break, I noticed something different. My agent finally called me up. We had a little chat, and boom – there it was, the option to request a trade. It wasn’t just handed to me at the beginning. I had to earn it by proving my worth on the field. I remember, I was stoked when I finally saw the option. It felt like a real achievement in the game.
Once I got the option, I selected “Request a Trade” during the conversation with my agent. But, it wasn’t instant. I had to wait a few in-game days, which felt like forever. During this time, I just kept playing as usual, trying not to mess up my stats. I kept hitting and playing well in the field, maintaining my performance.
Finally, the big day came. I got a notification that my trade request was accepted! It was such a relief. I was excited to see where I’d end up. The game simulated the trade, and I was sent to a new team. A fresh start, just what I wanted!
Things I Learned
- Patience is key: You can’t request a trade right away. You gotta play a significant number of games first.
- Performance matters: Your stats and how you play influence when you’ll get the trade option. I focused on being a power hitter, and it worked out.
- Agent interaction: The trade request comes through your agent, so pay attention to those calls around the All-Star break.
- Wait it out: After requesting a trade, it takes a few in-game days to process. Just keep playing and don’t stress about it.
So, that’s my journey on how I successfully requested a trade in “MLB The Show 24.” It took some time and effort, but it was totally worth it. If you’re trying to get traded, just remember to be patient, play your best, and wait for that agent to call. Good luck, and have fun!
