Hints
Stealing home
If you have a fairly fast runner on third base, start
to steal home. Go back when the throw to third base goes home.
You will be safe almost always.
Easy fly ball catches
When you are in the outfield and are not sure where
the ball is going to land because of the wind, the outfielder
will lock on the ball to make an easy catch. Note: This only works
under the rookie difficulty setting.
Easy homerun
While batting, press [Start] button and switch
teams. Resume the game and the other team will be batting. Make
sure that the ball is in the center (rookie mode), then switch
back to your original team. Swing the bat and you will have a
good chance of a homerun.
Easy base stealing
If your runner is on first base and has decent speed,
take two or three lead off steps. As soon as the pitcher's arm
moves to throw, press [Up] + [Square]. If the pitcher
throws to first base, once the ball gets to the first baseman
press [Circle] to go back. If he does not throw, you should
be safe at second base.
Building a good team
Start a franchise or season. When you get to the season,
go into the "Edit" category and select your player.
Choose to move the player to another team. You then can have any
desired star on your team. After your first season you will lose
some players due to the fact you will be over budget, but you
can do this trick again. To get better ratings for other players,
do the same thing by selecting a player and then editing the desired
category up or down.
Start a franchise. For example, if your team is the Brewers and
you would like to trade a bad player for the Red Sox's Pedro Martinez,
go to "Setup". Go to "Edit Rosters" and scroll
to your team (Milwaukee). Edit any player desired (for example,
Glendon Rusch) and boost all his stats to 100, except the walk
ratio which should be set to 20. Then, scroll to the Red Sox and
lower all of Pedro Martinez's stats. Go back to your schedule
and sim at least a week. Then, go back to "Setup" and
go to the Red Sox. Notice that because his ratings are horrible
Pedro Martinez has been demoted to the minors. Go back to "General
Manger" and trade your beefed up player (Glendon Ruch) for
Pedro Martinez. Once you get him, go back to "Setup"
and "Edit Rosters". Go to your team (Milwaukee) and
bump up all of Pedro Martinez's stats (walk ratio to 20 and everything
else to 100). Then, go to the Red Sox and lower Glendon Rusch's
stats.
Use the following trick to re-sign created players for less money.
Play a franchise and then go to "Setup" before you start
your schedule. Select "Import Players" and import your
created players. Go to "General Manger" and sign him.
He will sign for one or two batting points for about two to three
years. Then, play. As your player is going into his last season
of his two or three year contract, sim that season until you get
to the World Series game (whether you are in the series or not).
Go to "Setup" and to "Edit Roster". Go to
your team and lower all of your created players' attributes to
40. Then, go back and play or sim the World Series. Next, go to
the off season and your player will file for free agency. Do the
coaches, draft, until you get to free agency. Select your created
player and make an offer. He will sign for 1 budget point again
for two to three years Sign your player, then when the season
is about to begin go back to "Setup" and "Edit
Rosters". Bring your players' stats back up again. This works
with any player on your team.
Get ejected
Hit a player while pitching three or four times and
you will be ejected.
