How to Negotiate with Your Agent in MLB The Show 23: From Benchwarmer to Big Leaguer (Without Getting Kidnapped)
You've just crushed a minor league fastball into the stratosphere. Scouts are frothing at the mouth, your bat feels like a magic wand, and... you're still stuck warming the bench. What gives? Buckle up, rookie, because it's time to talk to your agent. But fear not, this guide will turn you from a nervous minor leaguer to a smooth-talking superstar (hopefully without any shady backroom deals).
**Step 1: Identifying Your Agent (They're Not That Guy in the Black Trenchcoat)
Unlike a Hollywood thriller, your agent won't be lurking in the shadows with a briefcase full of contracts. In MLB The Show 23, your agent is a silent but (hopefully) effective presence working behind the scenes. You won't be able to directly chat with them, but their influence will become clear as your career progresses.
Step 2: Making Your Case (Think More Persuasive Presentation, Less Baseball Brawl)
Alright, Rambo, put down the Louisville Slugger. Here's how to make your case without resorting to intimidation tactics:
- Light Up the Minors: This is a no-brainer. Put up eye-popping stats that make GMs drool. Launch dingers into the upper deck, steal bases with the grace of a gazelle, and become the bane of opposing pitchers' existence.
- Simulate Like a Champ: Don't have time to tear up the minors game-by-game? Simulate your season while strategically focusing on player development. Just remember, good sim results are your friend here.
- Patience is a Virtue (Especially Since You Can't Actually Talk to Your Agent): I know, I know, it's frustrating. But trust the process (and your agent's mysterious machinations). Keep performing well, and your call-up will come.
Step 3: When the Call Comes (Finally! It's About Time!)
Once your agent negotiates that sweet major league contract (seriously, where were they this whole time?), it's time to Dominate the Big Leagues. Now you can show everyone why you belong. Remember, though, your agent might not be there to hold your hand every step of the way. So, channel your inner superstar and become a legend!
Bonus Tip: Don't Get Kidnapped (Just a friendly reminder that this is a video game and shady backroom deals probably aren't a thing.)
There you have it! With a little hard work, patience, and (hopefully) a competent agent, you'll be launching bombs in the big leagues in no time. Now go out there and make them regret keeping you on the bench!
