MVP Baseball 2004

 
Worst Player Ever

To unlock the player that has a bat so thin that it breaks with every connection, enter Erik Kiss in as a created player name.



Seventh-Inning Stretch

Have the game paused after the top of the 7th inning to hear the crowd sing ''Take me out to the Ball game ''.



Pitch every game in a season with one pitcher

To play every game with one pitcher play one game , then, before starting the next game , edit anything about the pitcher by going into Team Management > Rosters > Create/Edit Player > Edit Player. Open that player's edit screen, edit him and save the changes by pressing Start. His stamina will be completely full.



Extra MVP points

(This must be done from the Play Now! Option)

In order to receive lots of MVP points, simply do this:

1) Begin the game on Rookie, preferable against a AA team.

2) Play through the game , making sure to get lots of hits, stolen bases, etc.

3) Make sure the starting pitcher completes the game .

4) When your opponent is down to their last out, go into game options and switch the difficulty to MVP.

5) Get the last guy out to get lots of MVP points.



Barry Bonds:

Go to "Edit Player" and select Jon Dowd of the San Francisco Giants. Change his number and name to Barry Bonds #25. His name will be annoucned when he comes to the plate for San Francisco, and all of his statistics are already in the game as "Jon Dowd".



Get any player:

To get any player on your team in dynasty mode, create an outfielder with the best stats. Sign him as cheap as you can for one year. You can trade him for any player (for example A-Rod, Mark Prior, etc.)



Cheap perfect player:

Create a player with all desired information. Leave his attributes exactly as is. Then, go to "Free Agents". Sign that player to a long cheap contract. Then, go to create/edit again and change the player's attributes to make him perfect.



Bad player warning:

Do not create a player named Erik Kiss. If you do, every time he swings he will break his bat and send a little dribbler to the pitcher for a sure out. Also, you cannot bunt with him; it will just go foul.

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.



Huge cap:

Select the "Create A Player" option. Create a player named john prosen (case-sensitive).



Move EA Trax window:

To move the EA Trax window around the screen, move the C-stick when the white song introduction window appears.



Home Run King:

Create a player with the name: keegan paterson. ( watch the case-sensitivity ) he has an oversized bat that allows you to hit really far homers or really hard line drives everytime. He can have horrible stats and still hit home runs every time.



MVP Point Limit:

You can only hold 50,000 MVP points at a time. Once you reach that amount, spend them. Otherwise, any points you earn afterwards will not be given to you because you're full.



Simulate to Earn MVP Points :

In Dynasty Mode you recieve MVP points periodically for accomplishments. Assemble a team you feel is good enough to simulate to the playoffs (hint: Yankees). Simulate the season up to the second to last game and then save the game . Once you have it saved, simulate the last game and move into the playoffs. Generally, you recieve anywhere between 5000-9000 MVP points for making the playoffs. Save the points onto your profile when prompted, and then exit the Dynasty mode without saving. Repeat the process and you'll notice that every time you simulate into the playoffs you're saving the points and not your progress. Do this about 20-25 times and you'll have enough points for all the rewards.
