Owner mode:-
If people 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.
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.
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). The 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 (case-sensitive) as a created
players 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 Neverlose Sight (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.
Legends Team: Unlock each of the 25 Legends Team players.
Heroes Team: Unlock each of the 25 Heroes Team players.
Making of Owner Mode feature: Buy all stadium upgrades in owner
mode.
Getting money in owner mode: If people 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
