Well now, you wanna know how to get traded in “Road to the Show,” huh? Alright, let me tell ya, it’s not as easy as pie, but it ain’t impossible neither. First thing you gotta know is that this whole “trade” thing ain’t like real life, but it sure feels like it when you get the hang of it.
So, you got yourself a player, right? Now, to get traded, you gotta start showin’ off those skills, just like when we used to show off in the old days when we got a good batch of eggs or something. You gotta make your stats look good. Teams won’t be wantin’ you if you ain’t worth much. So, you work hard on your stats, practice real good, and make sure your performance is top notch. That’s how you start standin’ out, especially in the Draft Combine drills and matches. You gotta rank up, just like how we used to stack firewood high to impress the neighbors!

But hold on, you ain’t done just yet. See, even though you perform real well, it ain’t always a guarantee that you’ll get traded. The game got its ways. Your team can offer you a trade, or another team can send an offer your way. But if you’re just sittin’ around waitin’, that trade ain’t comin’ fast. You gotta keep your head up and play every match like it’s the last one, just like how we used to work the fields sun up to sun down, hopin’ for a good harvest. Every game counts, my friend.
Now, there’s another way you might get yourself traded, and that’s if you make a little noise with your agent. See, sometimes you can get a call from ‘em, askin’ how you feel about your current team. If you’re unhappy or feel like you need a change of scenery, you can tell ‘em you ain’t satisfied and want to go somewhere else. If you play your cards right, the trade might come your way. But don’t go expectin’ to pick the team you wanna go to! Nah, that’s not how it works in this game, no sir. You can’t say, ‘Hey, send me to the Yankees.’ It don’t work like that. But, if you’re doin’ real good, the right team might come along and scoop you up.
And now here’s a little somethin’ I gotta tell ya, somethin’ about the 10 & 5 rule. If you’ve been in the league for a good long time, like 10 full seasons, and stuck with the same team for 5 of them, well, then you got some say in the matter. That’s right, you can actually say “no” to a trade if you’ve been around long enough. But you gotta earn that privilege, mind ya.
But if you’re just startin’ out, you gotta keep your head down and work. Trade offers won’t come by just sittin’ there, waitin’. You gotta show ‘em you got what it takes. It ain’t all sunshine and roses, but if you stick to it, you’ll see them trade offers start comin’ in. Just make sure you’re always playin’ your best, and don’t forget, your agent’s got your back too. Now, go get ‘em, and may the best team find ya!
So, in short, here’s what you need to do to get traded in “Road to the Show”:
- Work on your player’s stats and perform well in Draft Combine drills and matches.
- Play every game like it’s your last—every game matters.
- Get a call from your agent, tell ‘em you need a change, and they might get you a trade.
- Don’t expect to pick the team you go to. You can’t pick and choose!
- If you’ve been around long enough (10 years and 5 with the same team), you can say no to trades!
Now, go out there and show ’em what you’re made of, and I bet those trade offers won’t take long to come around!
