In *MLB The Show 25*, the grass might seem greener on the other side, and fortunately, you're not stuck in one place forever. Here's how you can demand a trade in *MLB The Show 25* Road to the Show mode.
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're faced with two paths: further your skills in college or dive straight into the pros with the team that drafted you. Whichever route you choose, you can strategically decide which team you'll end up with in the big leagues. This foresight can ease your transition, as you'll already know the environment you're stepping into. However, as with real professional sports, situations can evolve, and a change of scenery might just be what you need.
In past versions 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 direct option to ask for a move. But don't worry—there's a clever workaround to help you switch teams more quickly.
Navigate to the Sliders section in the Road to the Show settings, where you'll find an option called "Trade Frequency." This slider controls how often trades occur within the mode. By moving this slider all the way to the right, you'll increase the frequency of trades, including the likelihood of you being on the move. However, don't expect immediate action; other teams need to take notice of you first before they'll consider reaching out for a trade.
Once you start generating buzz around the league, your agent will inform you, and eventually, trade offers will come your way. Take your time to review these offers, but be strategic about your choice because there's no assurance that teams will keep coming back with proposals. If you find a destination that feels right, make the move, and 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 the strategy to demand a trade in *MLB The Show 25* Road to the Show. If you're looking to optimize your gameplay further, check out the best hitting and pitching settings for the game.
