Build team easily
In franchise mode use the following trick to build up your team instantaneously rather than through game play For example if you want to get hitting greats such as Albert Pujols Barry Bonds Sammy Sosa or Vladimir Guerrero go to createaplayer in the quotRosterquot menu Once there create a player with whatever visual and physical characteristics desired then proceed to the attributes screen Give the player 99 in Contact vs Lefty and Contact vs Righty 99 in Power vs Righty and Power vs Lefty 99 in Throwing Strength and 99 in Throwing Accuracy Make the player be born in the oldest possible date allowed by the game so that he retires after about one season Also set his Durability to 36 Thus he is extraordinarily injury prone Once you have created this player sign him but make sure you have the salary cap room as he will be very expensive Once you have him deal him off for one of the aforementioned superstars More often than not this superstar will have a lower contract than the created player allowing you to repeat this process as long as you can afford it If you need to open up cap room trade away the players that the superstars replace or release unnecessary high contract players
Easy double plays
When you are playing against the CPU and it has players on base wait until the next batter is up If the batter hits a ball to the outfield and it is not a line drive get off the player that is suppose to catch the ball and wait until the very last moment to catch the ball Then take control of the outfielder to make the out The CPUs baserunners will already be running to the next base because they thought the ball would not have been caught After you make the catch you can throw out the baserunners who forgot to tag up This is an easy way to make double and even triple plays

Perfect game
Use Barry Zito or create a player that has a good slider and curveball Throw the slider two times to the opposite side that the pitcher throws For example Zito is lefthanded so throw it to the right side inside of a lefthanded batter This will cause the batter to think it is either to the inside or to the outside The pitch must be at the edge of the strike zone After that throw a curveball in the upper inside or outside corner He should strike out pop out or ground out
