Easy points: Start a two player game, with only one actual player. Throw
a perfect game, striking out every batter. Save the game in the bottom of
the ninth inning with two strikes and two outs. Finish the game, collect
your points, and save the options. Reload the game and repeat to collect
the points again.
Change to the team that you are facing and make them play poorly, allowing
your original team to score a lot of runs. In the last inning,
switch back to your team and claim your team's cheaply made points.
Free balls: If you are down in the count or need a quick ball, pretend to
lay down a bunt. Pull back while the pitcher is in his motion. This should
result in a ball being thrown. Note: This only works up to two times in an
at bat.
Throw hard 4 seam fastball correctly: If you have a pitcher or created
player that throws a hard 4 seam fastball, always place the pitching
cursor below where you want the pitch to go. The pitch will automatically
rise after the pitcher releases it. However, with other pitches
(curveball, slider, changeup, etc.) the ball will end up where you put the
pitching cursor.
Restore pitcher's energy: Wait until your pitcher has low energy then
pause game play. If your pitcher is still on the mound, go to "Save Game
and Quit", then save the game. Restart the system, and when you go to the
main menu, load the game. When you finish loading, it should automatically
take you back to the game, and it should show your pitcher on the mound
with the full green energy bar.
View player's energy in franchise mode: When at the main menu in
franchise mode, go to "GM Office", then "Roster Management", then
"Disabled List". Look through your players to see which ones are tired
(except pitchers). If a starting player is tired, you should bench and
rest him for one game.
Change jerseys in franchise mode: Before playing in a franchise mode
game, go to quick play, and on the team's options highlight "Change
Uniform". Go back, exit quick play, load the franchise, and when you get
to the play game screen on options, your pointer will be on the blacked
out uniform part. Press A and you can change uniforms. Once you change
lineups or pitchers, this option is no longer available; it only works for
that one game.
Demote player without other teams claiming him off waivers: Go to the
player editor and make all his stats to D- so that no teams would want to
claim him off waivers. When you want to promote a player back to the Major
Leagues, change his ratings back to his default settings.
Easy win: Start a game with and set the skill level on anything except
"Manage Only". Pause gameplay go to "Controller Select". Switch the
controller to the team that you want to lose. Then, go into "Team
Management" at the pause screen. Change the pitcher and the fielders to
the wrong positions. You can also put pitchers in as pinch hitters. Then,
return to "Controller Select" and change back to your original team. The
CPU may switch the players around, but you can put the wrong ones in
again. You will not get any card points if you play the entire game with
the losing team.
Note: there is a slight chance of your game freezing if player positions
are swapped too often.
