Alright, folks, let’s dive into this thing. I spent a good chunk of my day trying to figure out this whole “calling your agent” business in MLB The Show 23. Started up the game, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, ready to wheel and deal like a big shot.
First things first, I poked around the main menu. You know, the usual drill. I navigated to the “Player” tab, thinking, “This has gotta be it.” Lo and behold, there’s this thing called “Brand Management” or “Agent Interaction.” I clicked on it, feeling like I was on the right track.
But, plot twist! It wasn’t quite what I expected. Instead of dialing up my agent on a virtual phone, I was presented with a bunch of options to manage my player’s career. Stuff like setting goals, dealing with endorsements, the whole nine yards. So, no direct phone call, but hey, it’s something, right?
Then I remembered reading somewhere about this “My Ballplayer” menu. I headed over there and found an “Interactions” section. “Bingo!” I thought. This had to be where the magic happens. I clicked through, and yup, there was an option to “initiate a conversation” with my agent. Not exactly a phone call, but more like a text message exchange. Close enough, I guess.
Here is another thing I tried, I was just playing the game, hitting dingers, and striking out chumps. Just focusing on becoming the best darn baseball player I could be. I figured, if I become a superstar, my agent will have no choice but to pay attention to me.
I also tried that “sim” thing. You know, simulating games or even whole seasons. The idea was to fast-forward to the important parts, like when my contract is up for negotiation. It’s like telling the game, “Hey, wake me up when there’s something interesting to do.”
So, after all that messing around, here’s the deal. There is no option to call your agent in MLB The Show 23. It’s more like, you do your thing, make a name for yourself, and hope your agent notices. If you’re good enough, they’ll reach out to you. Or you can nudge them through those “Interaction” menus. Not the most direct way to do business, but that’s how it is in this game.
- Head to the “Player” tab in the main menu.
- Look for “Brand Management” or “Agent Interaction.”
- Manage your career, set goals, and deal with endorsements.
- Alternatively, go to the “My Ballplayer” menu and select “Interactions.”
- Initiate a conversation with your agent (more like a text exchange).
It’s not rocket science, but it ain’t a walk in the park either. Just keep at it, and you’ll figure it out. Or just focus on playing ball, and let the agent stuff sort itself out. Either way, you’re good.
Some Other Tips
By the way, I also tried just being a good player. You know, hitting home runs, making great plays, and all that jazz. I figured if I become a superstar, my agent will have to talk to me, right? And I tried simulating games to get to the parts where I negotiate my contract. It’s a bit of a waiting game, but it works.
If you ask me, all of this is just a way of the game telling you to stay focused on your game and everything else will follow. I tried being a bit too strategic and passive at the start, only took the first 2 pitches just to get a feel of the game, and then I started playing seriously, which I think is the better way to go about it.
And hey, while you’re grinding, might as well have some fun, right? That’s what I always say. So go out there, swing for the fences, and don’t sweat the small stuff. The agent will come around eventually.
In conclusion, while you can’t directly call your agent in MLB The Show 23, there are ways to get your message across. Become a statistical juggernaut, sim strategically, and use the indirect communication tools provided. That’s the name of the game, folks. So go out there and make it happen!
