In *MLB The Show 25*, the grass might indeed seem greener on the other side, and San Diego Studio ensures you're not stuck in one place forever in their Road to the Show mode. Here’s how you can navigate the process of demanding a trade and find yourself in a new team's uniform.
How to Get Traded in MLB The Show 25 Road to the Show
After wrapping up your high school career in *MLB The Show 25* Road to the Show, you face a crucial decision: continue honing your skills in college or jump straight to the pros with the team that drafted you. Regardless of your choice, you ultimately have control over which team you'll play for in the major leagues, setting you up for the kind of situation you desire. However, the dynamic nature of professional sports means a change of scenery can sometimes be refreshing.
In previous iterations of Road to the Show, you could request a trade once you reached the major leagues. But in *MLB The Show 25*, directly asking for a trade is off the table. Don't worry, though; there's a clever workaround to expedite your move to a new team.
Head to the Sliders section within the Road to the Show settings, where you'll find an option called “Trade Frequency.” This setting controls how often trades occur in the game. Crank it up to the max to increase the likelihood of players, including yourself, being traded. However, don’t expect instant results; other teams need to take notice of your performance first before they'll consider reaching out to acquire you.
Once your prowess starts generating buzz around the league, your agent will inform you, and trade offers will begin to come in. Take your time to evaluate these offers, but be strategic as there’s no guarantee that teams will continue reaching out. Once you’ve decided on your preferred destination and feel good about it, make the move. After settling into your new team, consider lowering the Trade Frequency slider to minimize further trade requests.
And that's how you can effectively demand a trade in *MLB The Show 25* Road to the Show. For further optimization, check out the best hitting settings for *MLB The Show 25*.
