Alright, let’s talk about my little adventure trying to figure out this whole trade request thing in MLB The Show 24. I’ve been playing this game for a bit, you know, just casually enjoying my time on the field. But then, I got to thinking, “Hey, what if I want to switch teams?”
So, I started poking around. In the older games, it was pretty straightforward. You could just have a little chat with your agent, tell him you’re not feeling the team vibes anymore, and boom, trade request. But in MLB The Show 24? Nope, not that simple. I looked through every menu, every option I could find. Nothing.
Then, I remembered reading somewhere about “interactions” in the “My Player” menu under the Road to The Show mode. I headed over there, hoping this would be it. I scrolled through the options, and guess what? No trade request option to be found. It felt like looking for a needle in a haystack, I tell ya.
I even tried leveling up my player’s stats. I thought, “Maybe if I’m good enough, they’ll let me go wherever I want.” I played game after game, grinding away, getting better and better. My agent kept saying I didn’t have “leverage.” Leverage, shmeverage! I just wanted a change of scenery.
After all that, I dug a little deeper online, and it turns out, you can kinda force trades in the Franchise Mode. You just go to the settings, turn on “Force Trades,” and then you can basically swap players like trading cards. But that’s not really what I was after. It’s not the same as actually requesting a trade in my player’s career, you know?
I also found out you can change teams in Franchise Mode. You just head to the options menu, select ‘User Settings’, and then choose ‘Shift Teams’. Simple as that. But again, that’s not the same as making a trade request in Road to the Show. Also, I found some weird stuff about winning credit by playing games on some app, but that’s not what I was looking for either.
So, after all this messing around, here’s the deal: If you’re like me, hoping to just ask for a trade nicely in MLB The Show 24’s Road to The Show mode, well, you’re kinda out of luck. It seems like they took that option out of the game. You can still shuffle things around in Franchise Mode, but that’s a whole different ball game.
Here’s what I did step-by-step:
- Opened the game and went straight to Road to The Show mode.
- Navigated to the “My Player” menu.
- Looked for any “Interactions” or “Agent” options that might let me request a trade.
- Found nothing that directly allowed me to request a trade.
- Tried leveling up my player stats to see if that would unlock the option.
- Checked online and discovered the “Force Trades” option in Franchise Mode settings, but realized it wasn’t the same.
- Learned about changing teams in Franchise Mode via ‘User Settings’, but it still wasn’t what I was looking for.
It’s a bit of a bummer, to be honest. I liked having that option in the older games. It made it feel more real, you know? Like you had some control over your player’s career. But hey, that’s how it goes sometimes. Game changes, and we just gotta roll with the punches. At least I had a bit of fun trying to figure it all out. Hope this helps someone out there!
