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 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.
Hint: 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.
