GET RICH QUICK: How to unlock everything within an hour.
First, begin a Dynasty. Set the difficulty to MVP and make sure Trades, Injuries, Budgets, Rain-Outs and Happiness Effect are off, and select a team good enough to go to the postseason. Quick Sim through the entire year (but occasionally sim a game to the ninth then manage to get extra in-game accomplishment points) and at the end of the season, when you see "Advance to Playoffs," save your dynasty. Then select "Advance to Playoffs" and the game will show the number of MVP points you earned (usually about from 15000 to 20000). DO NOT SAVE AT THIS POINT. Instead, exit the dynasty and then come right back, loading the save file you made before. Choose "Advance to Playoffs" again, and you will earn another 15000+ points. Keep doing this to earn virtually unlimited points, but note that since the max # of points you can have at one time is 50000, when your total nears that mark you should spend what you've got on some unlockable players, stadiums or unis. This can be done as often as desired until you've unlocked all the hidden stuff in the game! ...but, if you're not the cheating type, I suppose you could just unlock 'em the conventional way...
