Home run sounds
Press [Triangle] or [Square] to hear air horns or [Circle] to hear whistles while running around the bases after hitting a home run. Note: Set the Sound FX volume to maximum for best results.

Change batting stance
When you are in a season and are up to bat, you can change your player's stance by pressing [R1] or [L1]. With a right-handed batter, press [L1]x3 if it is an inside pitch. If it is an outside pitch press [R1]x3.

Perfect game
Enable the "Strike out the batter" code for each player, but instead of throwing a real pitch, press [Down] + [Square] to throw a pitch out. The batter will not swing, and the pitch will count as all three strikes. Repeat during the entire game to end with a perfect 27 strike out game (if the visitor) or 24 strike out game (if the home team).

When it is your turn for defense, switch your controller to the opposing team. Hold [Circle] (bunt). You will bunt the ball on the first pitch, and the pitcher or catcher will get it and throw to first for the out. Repeat the process, and go on to offense. Do the same thing for the rest of the game. Another strategy is to hold [Up] and do a power or normal swing when your team is on defense, and the controls are switched. This will hit a pop fly for an easy out. However power hitters such as Sammy Sosa or Ken Griffey Jr. may hit a home runs. Use the bunt tactic for them.

Run faster
Repeatedly press [X] to increase the runner's speed.

Easy hits
When you are up at bat, switch controls to the other team and select a fastball down the middle. Before the pitch starts, switch back to your team. The fastball down the middle should give you a good hitting opportunity.

Grounders
If you have a pitcher that has a slider, use it then press [Down] + [X]. This usually forces the batter to hit a grounder, unless you are opposing the EA Dream Team.

Pop outs
When you are on defense with a pitcher that has a slider, use that pitch. Then, press [Up] + [X] to throw high in the strike zone. The batter will swing and usually pop the ball up to be caught your pitcher or catcher.

Home runs
Left fielderRickey Henderson homers seven out of ten times when you hold [Up] and do a power swing. The same thing can be done with Garret Anderson. They just have some form of glitch that makes them power hitters, especially since Henderson never was a power hitter, is old, and has a 75 rating. The likelihood of a home run increases when you have a runner on any base. Have him attempt a steal and do a power swing without holding [Up].

Prevent outs
When batting and you hit a ball that is easy to field, switch controls to the other team before it is fielded and intentionally misplay the ball. Then, switch back to your team to run the bases.

Better defense
Before throwing the first pitch, move the outfield in two "clicks" and over either to the left or right to align the center fielder behind the pitcher. Note: The center fielder should not be all the way up (at second base). If that happens, move him back one click. Most of the time, with any line drive or normal base hit to the outfield, you can throw the runner out at first base by using a "power throw". This works especially well with the "Powerup Defense". There is also still time to get back to the wall if he hits a long fly.

Glitch: Ground rule double off a ground ball
Play as the Dream Team and hit a ball that bounces once it is hit with Erik T. Kiss. It will hit the ground and fly into the outfield and go into the stands.

Glitch: High fly ball
Play against the Dream Team. When Erik T. Kiss is at bat, throw a high fast ball or a high breaking ball. He will pop it up. Note: The ball will be in the air for seven to ten seconds.
