During your playthrough of Road to the Show, you will likely need to know how to get traded in MLB The Show 24 at some point. Maybe you chose the wrong team or left it up to fate, but now you need to go elsewhere. Unfortunately, most players don’t get to free agency for a long time in baseball, so the only option for a change of scenery is a trade. Here’s how you can go about that.
- Players will not be able to request a trade in MLB The Show 24
- Trades will happen naturally in the game. In Road to the Show mode, you can increase the trade odds by increasing the Trade Frequency.
Can you request a trade in MLB The Show 24?
No, you cannot request a trade in MLB The Show 24. Road to the Show used to have an option for you to tell your agent that you are unhappy in your current situation, but that won’t work anymore. However, that doesn’t mean you’re out of options until your arbitration is up. In fact, quite the opposite.
How do you get traded in Road to the Show?
Teams can organically give your club trade offers, but to enhance the frequency of that, you need to play with some sliders. Road to the Show mode has its own settings. In them, you can find the “Trade Frequency” slider. Turn this up to increase the odds of a team trying to make a deal for you.
In general, one team will try to trade for you per season, so you might not be able to afford to be too stingy. If your situation is that bad, you may want to take the first option. This is why you may need to think twice before letting fate choose which team drafts you. We chose the New York Yankees, so we won’t really need to get traded any time soon.
Be sure to turn the slider back to normal once you get on your preferred team. That way, your chances of staying there for the foreseeable future are as high as they should be. That is the only way to change the odds of you getting traded in MLB The Show 24, though. This should work the same for Xbox Series X, PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and all the other consoles.
Should I try for a trade in MLB The Show 24?
If you’re considering a trade, you should keep a couple of things in mind. First, you need to think about your position. If you’re a minor league prospect who’s antsy to get to the big leagues, you may not want to be traded for now so that you can break through.
Assuming you chose the right team for the right position, a trade might actually hamper you. For example, we chose third base for the Yankees. They don’t have a lot at that position now, making our path to the majors much simpler. If we got traded to the Atlanta Braves, where Austin Riley is the present and future of the position, things would be much harder.
Before trying to get traded, you really need to decide whether or not that’s worth it. Most players pick their favorite team to be drafted by, so if you’re looking for a trade, you should have a good reason and be certain you won’t regret it!
Also, consider that the grass isn’t always greener. You may not love playing for your current team, but there’s always a chance the Oakland Athletics or Washington Nationals come calling. Those teams aren’t very good and probably won’t be for a while.
