In *MLB The Show 25*, the grass can indeed seem greener elsewhere, and San Diego Studio understands that players might want a change of scenery in the Road to the Show mode. Here's how you can navigate a trade to a new team in this engaging baseball simulation.
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: pursue further development in college or dive straight into the pros with the team that drafted you. Regardless of your choice, you have the power to influence which team you'll ultimately play for in the major leagues. This foresight can be advantageous, as it allows you to prepare for the specific dynamics of your future team. However, the fast-paced world of professional sports means that a fresh start elsewhere might be appealing.
In previous iterations of Road to the Show, players could directly request a trade once they reached the majors. However, *MLB The Show 25* has changed this, removing the option to ask for a trade outright. But don't worry—there's a clever workaround to expedite your move to a new team.
Navigate to the Sliders section in the Road to the Show settings, where you'll find an option called "Trade Frequency." This setting controls how often trades occur within the mode. By sliding this setting to the maximum, you increase the likelihood of players, including yourself, being traded. However, don't expect instant results; other teams need to take notice of your performance before they'll consider acquiring you.
Once your skills start 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 remember, there's no guarantee that teams will keep reaching out. If you find a destination that excites you, make the move. Once you're settled in your new team's clubhouse, consider sliding the Trade Frequency back down to minimize further trade requests.
And that's how you can demand a trade in *MLB The Show 25* Road to the Show. For more tips, check out the best hitting settings for *MLB The Show 25*.
