In season mode you can get better players on your team by trading two average players from your team for a great player and an awful player from the other team. It works for almost any trade.
Good chance of guessing the right pitch :
When you're batting and u guess the pitch, hold the R button and u will see a couple of pitches. The pitch that is next to the letter X (X button) is the pitcher's best pitch (ex- Tim Wakefield's best pitch is a knuckle ball) and they will throw a lot of that pitch so if u guess it, you will probably get it right.
More Batting Help...
To get easy hits guess a 4 seam fast ball every time.
More power and 90% chance on base :
To get more power and have a 90% chance to get on base you can......press the bunt button rapidly befor the pitcher throws then go to your stance and swing away!! on your big hitters you may not get a base but will have a greater chance for a homer!
