Easy
skill points:
When you fill up your and your opponent fills up
their point bars, wait until your opponent uses Power Blast. Strike the
batter out with Big Heat and you will get 100,000 points for a Big
Strike Out. You must do this a few times.
If you have Big Heat
when the other team has Power Blast, use the Big Heat. If you strike the
batter out with Big Heat, you will get an additional 10,000 skill
points (enough for a Power Blast).
Easy runs:
A few
batters before your rookie is up, try to get base hits with them. For
example, use Carl Crawford, Hank Blaylock, and Justin Morneau. If you
want to do this, load up the bases if possible. Once they are loaded you
should be able to hit a home run with your rookie without problems. If
you do this four times you will receive unlimited Power Blasts for the
rest of the game.
Rookie Challenge: Easier Contact/Distance
hitting:
Note: This excludes All Star weekend. You can get a
better score for hitting in these drills if you place a pitcher with the
fewest pitches in the #1 slot in your pitching rotation. The fewer the
pitches, the more likely you will know what he is going to throw. This
works even better if you have a relief pitcher who has all fastball
types of pitches, (for example. fastball, 2-seam fastball, cutter). If
you know what is coming, you should not have a problem hitting the ball.
Make sure the pitchers you wish to use during the game are not on the
“bench” otherwise you cannot use them during the game. With this
exception, it does not matter what your pitching rotation order is,
because you can select them before the start of the game.
Recommended
players:
On the Rookie Challenge you have the opportunity of
stealing ten players. Take outfielders first because if somebody gets a
hold of a hanging curve you want speed; glove; and if someone’s in
scoring position, a good arm. These are two groups of outfielders that
have all that. These outfielders should improve your win percentage and
increase your number of shutouts and no hitters for experienced players.
