In the dynamic world of *MLB The Show 25*, sometimes a change of scenery can be exactly what your career needs. Whether you're looking for new challenges or better opportunities, San Diego Studio's baseball simulator gives you the freedom to switch teams through its Road to the Show mode. Here's how you can initiate a trade and find yourself in a new uniform.
How to Get Traded in MLB The Show 25 Road to the Show
After wrapping up your high school journey in *MLB The Show 25* Road to the Show, you're presented with a crucial decision: pursue further education to refine your skills, or jump straight into the pros with the team that drafted you. Whichever path you choose, you can strategically aim to land on your preferred team in the major leagues. However, as any sports enthusiast knows, the landscape of professional sports is ever-changing, and sometimes a fresh start can rejuvenate your career.
In earlier iterations of Road to the Show, players could directly request a trade upon reaching the majors. *MLB The Show 25* has changed the rules, removing the option to simply ask for a transfer. But don't worry, there's a clever workaround to accelerate your move to a new team.
Navigate to the Sliders section within the Road to the Show settings, where you'll find an option labeled "Trade Frequency." This setting controls how often trades occur in the game. By sliding the Trade Frequency all the way to the right, you increase the likelihood of trades, including your own. Keep in mind, though, that this doesn't mean you'll be instantly traded. Other teams need to take notice of your performance and express interest before any offers come your way.
Once your agent starts receiving buzz about you from around the league, trade offers will begin to roll in. Take your time to evaluate these offers carefully. There's no rush, but remember that teams might not keep their offers open indefinitely. When you've settled on the perfect destination, make your move. Once you're settled into your new team, consider sliding the Trade Frequency back to a lower setting to minimize further trade requests.
And that's how you can demand a trade in *MLB The Show 25* Road to the Show. For those looking to enhance their gameplay further, consider exploring the best hitting settings for *MLB The Show 25*.
*MLB The Show 25 is now available in Early Access on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.*
