In the world of *MLB The Show 25*, sometimes a change of scenery can boost your career, much like in real-life baseball. San Diego Studio's latest installment, *MLB The Show 25*, offers a unique experience in its Road to the Show mode, allowing you to explore new opportunities beyond your initial draft. Here’s how you can maneuver a trade to a new team in *MLB The Show 25* Road to the Show.
After wrapping up your high school journey in *MLB The Show 25*, you face a choice: further your skills in college or dive straight into the pros with your drafting team. Regardless of your decision, you have the freedom to decide your ultimate destination in the big leagues. However, the dynamics of professional sports mean that a fresh start can sometimes be the key to success.
In earlier versions of Road to the Show, you could directly request a trade upon reaching the majors. But *MLB The Show 25* has changed the rules; you can't ask for a transfer outright. Fear not, though—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 in the game. Crank this slider all the way up to increase the likelihood of players, including yourself, being traded. Keep in mind, though, that increasing trade frequency doesn't mean you'll be on the move instantly. Other teams need to take notice of your performance first before they consider acquiring you.
Once your skills start generating buzz around the league, your agent will inform you, and soon enough, trade offers will start coming in. Take your time to evaluate your options, but be strategic—teams might not keep calling indefinitely. Once you've set your sights on a new team and are content with the move, go ahead and make it happen. After settling into your new clubhouse, don't forget to slide the Trade Frequency back down to minimize further trade requests.
That's the way to orchestrate a trade in *MLB The Show 25* Road to the Show. For more tips, check out the best pitching settings for the game.
