All
rewards, stadiums, legendary players, and uniforms: Select the "Create A Player" option. Create a player
named Katie Roy (case-sensitive).
Big
hitter: Select the "Create A Player" option. Create a player
named keegan paterson, jacob paterson, or isaiah paterson
(case-sensitive). This player will have a very large bat. He will hit a home
run or a hard line drive every time you make contact, no matter what his
stats.
Increase
body size: Enter Kenny Lee, BennyLee, or Teddy Lee
(case-sensitive) as a created player's name to increase and fully change the
player's size. Each bicep and other parts of the body can be changed
differently from the other. When you go to the body part it says both press A
to switch it to one side or the other.
Boston
Red Sox St. Patrick's Day jersey: Select the "Create A Player" option. Create a player
named NeverloseSight (case-sensitive). The special jersey
will appear at the jersey selection screen before an exhibition game.
Bad
hitter: Select the "Create A Player" option. Create a player
named erik kiss (case-sensitive). The player will have a skinny bat
that will break every time and send a little dribbler to the pitcher for a
sure out. Also, you cannot bunt with him; it will just go foul.
Note: You can use this player
to your advantage: Create erik kiss, make his stats all full, then
trade him to a rival team. Then, go to "Locate A Created Player",
and reduce his stats. Your rival will now have a bad batter on their team.
Small
player with big bat: Select the "Create A Player" option. Create a player
named Sean Paterson or Avery Larmour (case-sensitive).

Hint:
Getting money in owner mode: If fans are not attending your games, you will have difficulty
making money. Make sure the Fan Happiness meter is high and you schedule
Promotional Days occasionally to keep people coming out to the ballpark.
Use the following tricks to
earn money in owner mode. Note: Save the game early and often. Also be
patient, as this may take awhile:
Select a team that is
championship caliber. You will make more money by hosting big games. For
example, good teams like Chicago, Boston, New York, or St. Louis. You will
make somewhere about $500,000 for each playoff game.
Turn off injuries,
suspensions, and computer trades. This makes simulating a whole season
much faster.
Use the money that is
initially in your bank to purchase merchandise stands and concessions. The
more revenue you stream in, the more chance you have to gain money in the
future. Spend all your starting money (remember promotion days) quickly,
as you will go into the negatives quickly.
Never let your team have a
losing year. That is the easiest way to get into a huge hole. In fact,
make sure you go deep into the playoffs in the first few years.
Keep your ticket prices at
default for the unimportant games early in the season; perhaps even lower
them a bit early in the season to get people through the door. In crucial
September games and the playoffs, raise them to a reasonably high level.
Fan satisfaction is higher then, and they are willing to pay more.
After the postseason, spend
all the money that you have earned on ballpark upgrades (mostly seating
capacity). The more seats, the more money you will earn.
Turn off fair trades. Check
your rosters after the first few seasons to get rid of old overpriced
players for cheap youngsters. You can even edit young 20 to 22 year olds
in rosters.
When you start owner mode, turn
off "Injuries" and "Suspensions" so that your starting
lineup will not be disturbed throughout the season. Set the budget to
"Large". Start a season with a team with a small payroll (for
example, the Minnesota Twins), or you could spend more time trading away all
the big salaries (for example, the New York Yankees). Before you start the
season, lower your ticket prices slightly. Your attendance will average
slightly over 10,000 at first. Also, buy the first "Seating
Capacity" upgrade so that your capacity is 25,000. Use the $1 million
you have remaining and buy some concessions. Trade away your high priced
players (anyone making over $1 million) and either sign lower paid players
or call up players from your farm teams. Then, edit your roster so that you
are the greatest team in the league (first in pitching, batting, defense,
and speed). The players' salaries will stay low, but you will be the best
team in the league. Raise your ticket prices after the first few months then
raise them more during the summer months, and slightly more during the
playoffs. You should win the World Series if you edited your players well
enough. Take the money you made and upgrade your seating capacity. Repeat
this process after the year. Let go of the players asking for more money,
and just call up more bad players and edit them to great players. Only
concentrate on seating capacity at first. You will make enough with ticket
sales to be able to afford everything else in the later years. After a few
years you should have the best ballpark in the league. Note: This trick is
not for those that are attached to certain players -- you must be willing to
part ways with your big names.
If you want a team with a good
stock of cash, then follow these steps. Start Owner mode with large budget,
no suspensions, injuries, CPU trades, and financial advisor. Then start a
fantasy draft for both players and coaches. Make sure that yoru team is
first for both. Choose B. Cox, then simulate the coach draft. When you get
to the player draft, chose who you want (not Dowd, Pujols, Thome, Abreu, or
any other high-priced player). Select in this order: Huff (1B), Mueller
(3B), Soriano (2B), any shortstop, Baldelli (CF), Holliday (LF), select the
first four pitchers in SP and two RP, then simulate. When done, go into
"Owners Box" and choose "Buy Assets". Enter
"Seating Capacity" and go to level 2. Spend your money on a pizza
stand, prospect store, and your last $100,000 on promotional days for your
first, last, and rivalry games. Edit your players so that all of your player
stats on main menu (pitching, fielding, hitting, speed) are at #1. For
pitching, raise the stamina. For batting, raise contact and power. For
fielding. raise fielding to 99 on all starters. For speed, set to at least
79. Simulate your season. You should finish with about 95 to 105 wins and $5
to 10 million in your bank.
Before entering owner mode, go
to "Roster Management" and do the following. Send all of your high
priced players to A ball. They will keep their contract years, but get paid
$100,000 per year. For example, if you are the New York Mets, send Carlos
Beltran to A ball. Instead of making $17.5 million over seven years he will
make $100,000 over seven years. This will work with any player. This is an
easy way to cut down price per day of player salaries and still get high
media sponsorship.
Have a good team in owner mode
like the St. Louis Cardinals, New York Yankees, or Boston Red Sox. Trade
away anyone making over $1 million on all 4 rosters (A, AA, AAA, and MLB).
Then, sign the worst players in all the free agent categories. Go to edit
players, and give them the exact stats of the best position players in the
MLB. By doing this you are getting players for $300,000 for three years, and
with the value of $10 million dollar players.
Hint:
Pitching: If a good prospect is doing poorly in the minors, try hiring a
new pitching coach or batting coach to put some spark back into their game.
When you are about to throw the
ball, hold the button down until you get to the red. Let go, then hit the
green. Your pitches will be faster.
Hint:
Hit the batter: To hit the batter with the ball, hold L + R and
press Analog-stick Down. The batter will be hit with the pitch and
the umpire will warn you. Do the same for the next batter and the umpire
will eject the pitcher from the game. If you hit the next batter with the
new pitcher, he will immediately be ejected from the game. If you wait for
one specific batter out of all nine batters, the pitcher will not be thrown
out immediately, and there is a good chance that the single batter will
charge the mound. Note: This will not work if you only have one pitcher
remaining on your team. It may also bring down your pitcher's stats in Owner
mode and Dynasty mode. It is recommended that you try this with an opposing
team or in Exhibition mode.
Hint:
Easy Homerun Showdown win: When the pitch is coming in, hold Analog-stick Up and time
it well. You will almost always hit a homerun.
Hold L and move the ball
father away from the plate before the pitch is throw. Then, hold the Analog-stick
in any direction. This will allow players to hit inside pitches.
Hint:
Easy grand slam: Trade all fast players like O. Cabrera, Ichiro, and Carlos
Beltran to one team. Create the the jacob paterson player and sign
him. Then, put the fast players as the first three hitters and the slugger
as the number four batter. Have the first three players bunt. While this
happens, take control of the other team so they cannot throw the ball. All
of the fast players will be on base and the slugger will be up. Most of the
time he will hit a grand slam..
Hint:
Easy strike outs: Either throw curveballs down and out of the strike zone or to
throw a slider that will curve outward form the batter. Note: This may not
work as well against well disciplined hitters, such as Albert Pujols.
Throw two fastballs on the
inside corner then a slider or curveball on the outside corner. Note: This
may not work all the time.
Hint:
Easy MVP points: In dynasty mode, after simulating a season and before you go to
the playoffs, save the game. Then, keep reloading it. This will give you a
lot of MVP points.
Enter an exhibition, owner, or
dynasty mode game. Choose a good overall team (for example, the Yankees).
Face a team with bad pitching and defense (for example, the Rockies). Play
on the MVP level. Go to the game options in the in-game menu. Go to
"Gameplay Tuning" and change all the CPU's abilities (Contact,
Power, Speed, Pitcher Fatigue) to the minimum (-50). Change yours to the
maximum (50). It will now be easy to complete the MVP checklist goals (hit
two homers with same player, steal four bases with same player, hit a grand
slam, hit a triple, strike out ten, pitch a perfect game). Because the game
is under the MVP level, your total MVP points will be multiplied by four,
giving you a large number of MVP points quickly. Note: You can do this on
the other levels. Under the Pro level the multiplier is two, and under the
All-Star level the multiplier is three. There is no bonus multiplier for the
Rookie level.
Trade everyone from your A-team
to the Red Sox or any other team you can get MVP points by winning a game
against. Then, get eleven of the worst prospects on the free agents list and
set their stats up as high as possible. Put them on your team, and set your
team as the away team.
Hint:
Easier trades: If you cannot get an All-Star or top prospect with a player for
player trade, go to free agents. Then, sign the top free agent available and
offer the same trade along with the free agent to have a better chance at
coming to terms with the CPU.
Hint:
Argue calls: If you think the first base umpire made a bad call, press Y
during the replay to argue it. Doing this sends out your manager. It will
show your manager walk out of the dugout. A bar will apear near the bottom
of the screen that indicates argument intensity. Keep pressing Y as
fast as you can to make a real strong argument. However, you will be ejected
and the CPU will make all managerial decisions from now on. If you want to
argue without being ejected, press Y only a few of times, so that
about a one quarter or half of the argument intensity bar is filled.
Hint:
Tinker Field: Spring Training Stadium Three is in reality Tinker Field in
Orlando, Florida. The football stadium past the outfield the Citrus Bowl,
home to the University of Central Florida's Golden Knights, and the
2004-2005 season Capitol One Bowl.
Hint:
Renamed players: Every non-created player that has the number 86 is a player in
real life. For example, the Red Sox's first baseman Anthony Friese #86 is
actually Kevin Millar #15.
Hint:
Creating good players for low pay: When creating a player, leave his bio, equipment, looks, hot
zones, and batter tendencies alone. Set all of his batting and fielding
stats to zero. Do the same with pitchers, but also make their pitches bad.
Then, sign him to a seven year, $300,000 deal to the MLB. Then, edit their
stats and make them perfect. This works for owner mode. When their contracts
are up, release them and make new players. You can make them look however
desired and give them whatever bio you want. Try making them born from July
on in 1987 or the year that they turn 17.
Hint:
Getting good players: To get a good player in dynasty or owner mode, create a player
and make him very bad. Then, put him in the free agents and sign him to a
seven year $700,000 contract. Then, edit him to be the best ever. You will
save money and he will not complain about his contract.
Hint:
Getting a good team together: If you get stuck with two fielders at the same position (for
example Vladimir Guerrero and Gary Sheffield), just change the lower man's
position to the opposite field. Sheffield goes up about 5-6 players in rank
when you change him to left field.
1B to 3B
2B to SS
CF to LF
LF to RF
RF to LF
Hint:
Recommended team: The following recommended players can be bought for very low
salaries. In owner mode, a team like this has a good chance at winning a
title . They are cheap and better yet they are young. However, because these
players are younger they will generate less money from sponsors. Make sure
you have some big guns like Guerrero, Rodriguez, or Pujols to raise the bar.
1B: Texeira (TEX) or Morneau
(MIN)
2B: Uribe (CHW) or Rivas (MIN)
3B: Wright (NYM) or Blalock (TEX)
SS: Young (TEX)
LF: Mench (TEX) or Bay (PIT)
CF: Baldelli (TB) or Nix (TEX)
RF: Pena (?)
SP: Prior (CHC)
SP: Webb (ARI)
SP: Greinke (KC)
SP: Harden (OAK)
SP: Bonderman (DET)
RP: Nathan (MIN)
RP: Rincon (MIN)
RP: Ayala (WAS)
RP: Bauer (BAL)
C: Martinez (CLE) or Mauer (MIN)
The following team is
recommended for owner mode. It is cheap and should help you lower the
expense level of you team. Although some players are over $5 million, leave
them on your team. Release all non-starters over 2 million.
1B: Mark Texiera (TEX) or
Aubrey Huff (TB)
2B: Mark Loretta (???)
3B: Bill Mueller (BOS)
SS: Jimmy Rollins (PHI)
LF: Jason Bay (PIT)
RF: Ichiro (SEA) or Vladimir Guerrero (ANA)
CF: Rocco Baldelli (TB)
SP: Johan Santana (MIN)
SP: Oliver Perez (PIT)
SP: Jake Peavy (SD)
SP: Mark Mulder (ATL)
SP: Esteban Loazia (CWS)
RP: Tim Worrell (PHI)
RP: Bueng Hung Kim (BOS)
CP: Eric Gagne (LA)
Create the following team after
enabling the Katie Roy code or unlocking them normally. Note: They
are all power hitters.
Lou Gehrig
Mike Schmidt
Honus Wanger
Al Kaline
Mickey Mantle
Babe Ruth
Johny Bench
Jason Giambi
Phil Johnson
Alex Rodriguez
Ty Cobb
Derek Jeter

Glitch:
All Legendary Players: Save your profile once you have 5,000 MVP Rewards points. Buy a
Legendary Player but do not save your profile. Add the Legendary Player to a
team then save your roster. Then, load your profile. You will still have
5,000 points and the Legendary Player will still be on the team. If you
repeat this, you will be able to get all the Legendary Players on your
existing teams.
Glitch:
Camden Yards sign: On top of the clock in the outfield at the actual Camden Yards us
a sign that reads "The Sun", which refers to the newspaper The
Baltimore Sun. In the game, it reads "The Run".
Glitch:
Fenway Park sign: In the real Fenway Park, there are big Coca-Cola bottles above
the green monster. However, in the game the bottles are called Rip Cola.
