Hint: Unlock cheats easily:
Begin game play in two player mode while using both controllers. Keep hitting homeruns, triples, and more off fastballs by pressing X(2) on controller two. Note: Make sure that you include ground ruled doubles and inside the park homeruns. Also, pitch and strikeout the player two in all 27 at bats in the 9 inning game. You can also unlock the codes in single game or exhibition modes.

Hint: Defeating the Triple Play 2001 Dream Team and other All-Star teams:
Have a pitcher who has a change-up as one of his pitches. Then, throw inside change-ups to every batter.

Hint: Pitching as John Smoltz:
When pitching John Smoltz, use his curve or slider. Get it up to two blocks and the batters will mostly swing and miss because they break late.

Hint: Lucky numbers:
Some numbers can be very lucky for certain players. Just trade the players to teams which have players with the same numbers, create players with the same numbers and sign them to the same team, or sign the players. Some examples are:

Ken Griffey Jr: 33
Fernando Tatis: 26
Mark McGwire: 30
Frank Thomas: 37
Matt Lawton: 60
Juan Gonzalez: 36
Hint: Increase chances of a hit:
When hitting, do not hold down the D-pad. Press X and you will get a better chance at a hit. Wait long enough and press X and you will sometimes get a double down the right field line. When doing this and pressing Square, you can get a double more easily and at times even a home run.

Hint: Easy points:
Keep stealing to unlock the Fast Players and Power-Up Speed bonuses. Use both of them and you can bunt for easy hits. By the time pitcher picks up ball your batter will be at first. If he tosses to first base, start for second base and you will reach it before the first baseman throws the ball. If you want to make hits, just hit into the outfield and you will get triples and homeruns. Then, use the suicide squeeze to bring your baserunner home. Note: Stealing home before pitch makes it to the plate will also unlock Jackie Robinson.

Hint: Perfect game:
Earn or purchase Satchel Paige (recommended) or Cy Young and have them start the game. If you have Paige, throw a screwball. If you have Young, throw a slider. After selecting the pitch, hold Up + X until the pitch meter reaches three bars. 95% of the time, the slider will catch them looking. 99.9% of the time, the screwball will get the job done.

Hint: Get the lineup you want with points caps draft:
Since you have to average around 75 points a draftee, you can usually get a 90-100 level player for your first two picks before you cannot exceed 75 points. This is also true for the CPU. The CPU will always draft the max player points possible each time (i.e. 75 points player after 75 points player). It will always take pitchers and Marquee players, but not outfielders. For example, choose Pedro round one, Maddux round two and then Kerry Wood round three. Since Wood is a 57, you will have 18 extra points and can pick up A Rod on the next round. Usually players such as Shawn Green, Albert Belle, Carl Everett, and Juan Gonzalez are still available through 10-16 rounds. So select a 57 point man at first base, pick up Shawn Green and trade him for McQwire.

Hint: Points list:
The game awards points for doing certain things in season mode, . These points can be used in the season store to buy new stadiums, legendary players and better player attributes. The point system is as follows:



Event Points
Grand slam 400
Homerun 300
Triple play 500
Double play 300
Stolen base 200
Triples 300
Doubles 200
Strike out opponent 200
RBIs 100
Win 100


Note: Four or more homeruns cap out at 1000 points.


Hint: Drafting with or without points cap:
When you begin drafting with or without the points cap, you can get a better team by drafting the worst player you can in the following positions: SS, 3rd, RF, and five pitchers. This should be done because there are eight players on the free agent list who will help you while trading to get the players you want. These players are:


Player Pos. Rating
Mendy Lopez SS 70
Russ Davis 3rd 71
Butch Huskey RF 70
Hideo Nomo SP 84
R. Coppinger SP 75
Mark Portugal SP 74
Pat Rapp SP 74
Dave Eiland SP 71
