In *MLB The Show 25*, the grass might indeed seem greener on the other side, and San Diego Studio understands that players might not want to be tied to one team forever in the Road to the Show mode. Here's how you can navigate the process of getting traded to a new team.
After wrapping up your high school career in *MLB The Show 25* Road to the Show, you're faced with a choice: further your skills at college or dive straight into the pros with the team that drafted you. Regardless of your decision, you have the flexibility to choose your ultimate destination in the major leagues. This gives you the advantage of knowing exactly what kind of situation you're entering. However, as we all know, the landscape of professional sports can shift rapidly, and a fresh start elsewhere might just be what you need.
In past iterations of Road to the Show, players could directly request a trade once they reached the majors. But in *MLB The Show 25*, this option has been removed, meaning you can't simply ask your current team to trade you. Fear not, though—there's a clever workaround that can speed up your journey to a new team.
Navigate to the Sliders section in 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 moving the slider all the way to the right, you increase the likelihood of trades happening, including the possibility of you being on the move. Keep in mind, though, that other teams need to take notice of your performance before they'll consider trading for you.
Once you start generating buzz around the league, your agent will inform you, and soon enough, trade offers will begin to come in. Take your time to review these offers and choose your next destination wisely, as there's no assurance that teams will keep reaching out. Once you've settled on a team and are content with your decision, accept the trade. Upon arriving at your new team, consider sliding the Trade Frequency back down to minimize further trade requests.
And that's the strategy to demand a trade in *MLB The Show 25* Road to the Show. If you're looking to enhance your gameplay further, check out the best hitting settings for *MLB The Show 25*.
