If you are a starting pitcher and do not make the rotation and are a reliever, do not just simulate over the games. When you are on the scheduled game square, press X then go to simulate to next appearance. By doing this, you can control your player and not just let him go. If you just let him go, he will do no good.
Fart mode
Pause game play, then press Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right.
Franchise mode options
Select from the options: 'Game Modes', then 'Franchise'. Select 'Business', and then choose 'Stadium'. You are now able to create your ticket price, seats, and other things. You are also able to choose 'Marketing' at the 'Business' menu and go to 'Promotions'. From that location you can make bobble heads, bat nights, ball nights, and television settings in 'TV'.
Get old timers easier
Go to season mode. Go to the playing schedule and it will have a list. Choose "Simulate Season". When this is done, you will have points to buy the old timers in profile mode.
Maximum speed in career mode
Speed is the most important ability to have in the game. To make the fastest player in the game, make him 6'10". This is the tallest you can make any player. The weight really does not matter as much, however make your created player at least 250 with a buff muscle tone setting.
More playing time in career mode
To make sure your player gets enough at-bats and playing time, make his fielding rating as high as possible. If your player is a bad fielder, he will get substituted for a defensive replacement quite frequently, especially if it is a close game in the later innings.
Raising Stats
Change the game tuning options to subtract all advantages from the CPU and give all of the advantages to player one When you create a position player, move the speed all the way up. This will allow you to artificially pump your stats. Your stolen bases will come at inflated rates. Singles will be easily stretched into doubles, doubles to triples, and triples to inside the park homers. It will not be very difficult for you to quickly build up your player stats, as the better you are the quicker your experience points will rise. Become a first baseman in the Detroit Tigers organization. You will have a strong lineup in the minor and major leagues that will get on base ahead of you, and give you RBI opportunities. Becoming a first baseman also cuts your errors down, because you are not throwing the ball nearly as much.
