Okay, so I’ve been grinding away at MLB The Show for a while now, and one thing that always bugged me was feeling stuck with a team. Like, what if you get drafted to a team you just don’t vibe with? So, I went on a mission to figure out this whole trade request thing. Here’s the lowdown on what I discovered:
The Fiddling Begins
First, I hopped into Road to the Show mode – that’s where you create your own player and try to make it to the big leagues. I started a new career, got drafted, and… well, let’s just say my team wasn’t exactly my dream team.
Digging Through Menus
My first instinct? Start mashing buttons and looking through every menu I could find. I checked the player stats, the team roster, everything. There was no giant “REQUEST TRADE” button staring me in the face. Surprise, surprise.
The Agent is Key
Then I remembered something: your agent! This guy is supposed to be your go-to for career stuff, right? So, I kept playing, waiting for some kind of interaction with him. Finally, after a few games (and some seriously awesome home runs, if I do say so myself), I got a call from my agent.
The Conversation
We chatted, and he asked about how I was feeling about the team. Ding, ding, ding! This was my chance! I made sure to pick the dialogue options that basically said, “I’m not happy here, get me outta here!” You gotta be pretty clear about it, or he won’t get the hint.
Playing the Waiting Game(Important!)
- Keep Playing Well: Even if you want out, you still gotta perform. Better stats make you more attractive to other teams.
- Agent Check-Ins: My agent would call every now and then to check in. Each time, I reinforced my desire for a trade.
- Patience: You can’t just request a trade and magically be on a new team the next day. It took several in-game weeks before anything happened.
The Result (Finally!)
After what felt like forever, I finally got the news: I was traded! It wasn’t instant, and it definitely took some persistence, but it worked. I was on a new team, and ready to dominate.
My Advice
So, to sum it up, you can request a trade in MLB The Show, but it’s not a simple button press. You gotta work with your agent, make your feelings known, and keep playing your heart out.
It’s not super obvious, but it’s definitely doable. Good luck, and may your trades be ever in your favor!
