Alright, folks, gather around and let me tell you about my little adventure trying to figure out this whole trade request thing in MLB The Show 24. I’ve been messing with this game for a bit now, and let me tell you, it’s not as simple as it used to be.
So, first things first, I booted up the game and jumped straight into Road to The Show. Like many of you, I was ready to take my player to the top, maybe switch teams along the way, you know, the usual. But here’s the kicker – I couldn’t find the option to request a trade anywhere. I scoured every menu, every tab, thinking I was just missing something obvious.
I went online, looked through forums, and guess what? Turns out, asking for a trade isn’t like ordering a pizza anymore. There’s no clear-cut “Request Trade” button to click. It’s all under the hood now, and it depends on how your player performs and interacts with the team.
I tried playing it cool, performing well, being a good teammate. I figured, if I showed them I was valuable, they might trade me to a better team, right? I even tried starting a new Franchise mode, thinking maybe I missed a setting or something. Nope, no luck there either. It’s like the game wants you to stick with your initial team no matter what.
Then I remembered something about “Force Trades” from the older games. I went back to the Franchise mode setup and, lo and behold, there it was. I turned that bad boy on, hoping it would do the trick. But guess what? Once you’re past that setup screen, you can’t change it. So, if you didn’t enable it at the start, you’re stuck.
After hours of gameplay, I started noticing some “Interactions” with my agent and manager in the “My Player” tab. These were mostly just fluff, not actual trade requests. I thought, “Maybe if I keep at it, something will change?”
So, what did I learn from all this? Well, if you’re looking to get traded in MLB The Show 24, here’s the deal:
- You can’t directly request a trade like in the old days.
- Focus on playing well and leveling up your player.
- Keep an eye on those interactions with your agent and manager.
- If you’re starting a new Franchise mode, turn on “Force Trades” at the beginning, or you’re out of luck.
It’s a bit of a bummer, honestly. I miss the simplicity of just asking for a trade. But hey, it’s a new challenge, right? You gotta work for it, prove your worth, and maybe, just maybe, the game will decide it’s time for a change of scenery.
