Alright, let’s talk about requesting a trade in MLB The Show 24. I messed around with this feature a good bit, so I can walk you through how I got it done. It’s not always straightforward, but it’s definitely doable.
First things first, your player’s gotta have some time in the league. You can’t just jump in and demand a trade after a month. I usually waited at least a full season, sometimes even two. You gotta build up some credibility, you know? Make sure you are playing well too.
Next up, Relationship Matters Keep up with your relationships with the manager and team personnel. If they like you and you have a positive relationship, they are more likely to give you what you want.
Okay, so here’s what I did. I went into the main menu and navigated to the “My Career” section. From there, I dug around until I found something like “Player Options” or “Contract.” In that area, there’s usually an option to “Request a Trade.” Clicked that bad boy.
But here’s the kicker: It doesn’t just happen automatically. You usually have to go through a little conversation with your agent. They’ll ask why you want to leave, who you want to go to, and all that jazz. Be honest (but not too honest, haha). If you trash the team, they might get salty.
After that, your agent goes to the GM and tells them what’s up. And then…you wait. This part can be a drag. Sometimes it takes a week or two in-game time. Other times, it can drag on for months. Just keep playing well and hope for the best.
- Make sure your stats are solid. If you’re hitting .150 with no power, no one’s gonna want you.
- Keep an eye on the team’s needs. If they already have three shortstops, they’re probably not gonna trade for another one.
- Be patient. Trades don’t always happen right away.
The best part is when you finally get that notification that you’ve been traded. It’s like Christmas morning, especially if you’re going to a team you actually want to play for.
One last thing: Be careful what you wish for. Sometimes the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. I once requested a trade to a contender, only to get stuck on the bench behind a superstar. Learned my lesson that day!
So yeah, that’s pretty much it. Requesting a trade in MLB The Show 24 can be a bit of a process, but it’s worth it if you’re not happy with your current situation. Just be smart about it, play well, and be patient. Good luck!
