Hints

Stealing bases

Use the following trick to get easy stolen bases in Career mode. When you are on second base with two outs, the man covering the base is far behind. Tap R1 to step out. Keep tapping R1 until the runner goes for third base. The pitcher will throw to second base, then they will throw to third. You will have time to reach base safely. Sometimes the pitcher will step out and will not throw the ball. If that happens, press L1 to return to second base.

Finding Daisuke Matsuzaka

There is a rookie pitcher on the Boston Red Sox with the name "Tate Baik". He is actually Daisuke Matsuzaka.

Save money

In the offseason when you are resigning free agents, there is a very effective way of saving lots of money for free agency without being cheap and changing stats. Instead of lowering and raising stats, just go to "View Roster" and convert all of your starters and closers into relievers. Resign all of them to small deals worth at most about $3 million a year. Once you sign them, change them back into their original position. It might not sound like much but if you have a $19 million pitcher like Johan Santana, it can be a lot of free cash. This will also work with turning slow players into the 2B or SS position and resigning them, or turning small players into the C or 1B position and resigning them.

Easy saves

Put your closer in the game at the start of the seventh inning and use him the rest of the way.

Easy accomplishments for profile and franchise goals

Set up a game in your franchise as usual. Instead of choosing your franchise team, choose the team you are facing. When you start the game let your franchise's starting pitcher strike out as many players on the other team as possible. When it is your turn to pitch use only fastballs down the middle. This will result in the player hitting a home run or a regular hit to the position players. If the batter hits a pop up, ground ball, or line drive, let the ball drop. If it possible let the ball roll away from you. Do not pick up the ball; just stand near it enough so that the base runners keep running around the bases. This will give your players many inside the park homeruns. If you need to stop the base runner where he is, throw the ball in as he approaches the base.

Recommended Career mode position

When you start Career mode, play as a switch hitting catcher. Improve your Contact (Left and Right), Power (Left and Right) and your Speed and nothing else until you are out of the minors or spring training. You are not called on a lot to throw out runners because most of the time the hitters will hit pop-ups or lay down bunts.
