Alright, folks, gather ’round, let me tell you about my little adventure in MLB The Show 24. So, I was deep into my career, right? Playing my heart out, game after game. But something felt off. I just wasn’t feeling the vibe with my team anymore. It happens, you know? You’re with a team for a while, and sometimes you just need a change of scenery.
So, I’m thinking, “Okay, maybe it’s time to shake things up a bit. Let’s see if I can request a trade.” In the older versions of the game, it used to be pretty straightforward. You could just ping your agent, tell them you’re not happy, and boom – trade request. But in MLB The Show 24, it’s not so simple. They took out that option. Yep, gone.
But I’m not one to give up easily. I started digging around, poking through menus, looking for any way to get myself traded. I checked the settings, thinking maybe there’s some hidden option in there. And guess what? There’s this thing called “Force Trades” in Franchise mode. You turn that on, and it lets you basically swap players around like it’s nobody’s business.
But that felt a bit too… forceful, you know? I wanted it to be a bit more realistic. So, I kept playing, keeping an eye out for those little interaction prompts with your agent. These pop up every now and then, and it’s your chance to chat with your agent about stuff. I figured this was my shot.
Finally, one of those interactions popped up. I jumped on it, and there it was – the option to express that I wanted a change. I clicked it faster than a fastball down the middle. But here’s the thing: just like in real life, trades don’t just happen overnight. It takes time. There’s no magic button to make it happen instantly.
- First attempt: Requested a trade through my agent.
- Result: Nothing happened immediately.
- Second try: Turned on “Force Trades” in Franchise mode.
- Outcome: Could manually trade myself, but it felt unrealistic.
- Continued playing: Waited for agent interactions.
- Expressed desire for a trade: Finally got the option during an interaction.
- Current status: Waiting to see if a trade happens.
I kept playing, grinding it out, hoping that my trade request would eventually go through. It’s a waiting game, really. You gotta be patient, keep performing on the field, and hope that the front office is listening. After six seasons you can become a free agent, I might just wait for that if nothing happens.
So, that’s where I’m at now. Still with my original team, but with a trade request hanging in the air. Will I get traded? Who knows. It’s all part of the game, I guess. You win some, you lose some, and sometimes you just gotta wait and see what happens. I’ll keep y’all updated on how this whole trade saga plays out. Until then, keep swinging for the fences!
