Hint: Barry Bonds
|
|
Barry Bonds may have been kept out of this game by withdrawing himself
from the MLBPA, but his replacement, fantasy player "Jim
Dowd", has all his attributes. Simply go to Roster Management and
choose Jim Dowd (he's easy to find: he's the best player on the
Giants, and one of the best players in the game). Edit the player's
name to "Barry Bonds", his number to 25 and his hand to
lefty. Edit his features to appear less like a random white guy and
more like the famous slugger.
|
|
|
|
Hint: Barry Bonds
|
|
Thankfully, EA has recognized that they could not officially put Barry
Bonds in the game, so what they have done is placed a player on the
Giants by the name of Jon Dowd. This player is fictional and does not
exist in real life, however his performance attributes are identical
to what Barry Bonds would be.
To have Barry Bonds in MVP Baseball 2004, go edit the rosters of the
Giants and then select to edit the player named Jon Dowd. Change his
number to 25, change his name to Barry Bonds, change his birthdate to
07/24/64, make it so he throws and bats left handed, then edit his
face to something you think looks most like Barry Bonds in real life.

Hint: Easy MVP Points
|
|
When playing a Home Run Showdown or Pitcher Showdown, start the game
on the MVP difficulty setting. As soon as the game loads up, pause and
change the difficulty to something easier to handle, like Rookie or
Pro. Now when you beat the computer you'll get the MVP points for
winning on the MVP level, four times the original amount.
|
|
|
|
Hint: More Easy MVP Points
|
|
First, check your MVP Rewards Checklist. Many of the tasks require you
to beat certain teams at their home fields. Start a game against any
of these teams and choose MVP Difficulty for maximum points. As the
game begins, pause the game and switch controller ports to be the team
that you're supposed to beat. If they are batting, simply swing and
miss every pitch, and you will get large amounts of points for a
Perfect Game, No Hitter, Shutout, and Complete Game. That's a couple
of thousand points right there. When this team is on the field, just
lob fastballs over the heart of the plate, or intentionally walk the
batters and serve up Grand Slams. You get tons of points for putting
up large offensive numbers. Now the most important part. At the end of
the game, it is imperative that you switch the controller port back to
the original team that you selected in order to receive credit for the
final results. Since you need to beat the home team, they will have
the last at-bat. So in the last inning, take control of the home team
and do the "Swing and Miss" trick. Then on the final strike,
swing as soon as the pitcher releases the ball, then quickly pause the
game and switch the controllers again. It will be as if you aquired
all of the stats for the visiting team, and you will be rewarded
heavily for your performance.

|
|
|
Hint: Simulate to Earn MVP Points
|
|
In Dynasty Mode you recieve MVP points periodically for
accomplishments. Assemble a team you feel is good enough to simulate
to the playoffs (hint: Yankees). Simulate the season up to the second
to last game and then save the game. Once you have it saved, simulate
the last game and move into the playoffs. Generally, you recieve
anywhere between 5000-9000 MVP points for making the playoffs. Save
the points onto your profile when prompted, and then exit the Dynasty
mode without saving. Repeat the process and you'll notice that
every time you simulate into the playoffs you're saving the points and
not your progress. Do this about 20-25 times and you'll have enough
points for all the rewards.

|
|
Hint: Ultimate Method of Earning MVP Points
|
|
Start a new dynasty with the YANKEES. In the DYNASTY SETTINGS page
right after you chose to start a new dynasty and even before you
choose which team, choose NO for a fantasty draft, put the difficulty
level on MVP, turn injuries off, turn suspensions off, turn errors
off, turn the trade deadline OFF, turn CPU initiated trades OFF, turn
rained out games OFF, and leave everything else as the default. Also,
you need to make sure you have the user profile set as PROF1 or if you
have your own profile use that one and set it as that in the dynasty
options page.
Once you're on the main page of the dynasty, go to SCHEDULE. Scroll
all the way through the calender to the last game of the season, since
we are using the Yankees for the dynasty, the last game of the regular
season on the calender should be on October 3rd, so scroll to October
3rd and choose "Sim up to and including this day." It will
take a couple minutes to sim through the entire regular season because
the baseball schedule is long and it also has to sim through your two
minor league teams associated with the franchise. Throughout the sim,
various messages will pop up about the allstar game, minor league
playoffs, etc. When these messages pop up, just ignore them and choose
"Continue Sim."
Once the sim finishes, go back to the main dynasty page and there will
be a couple of boxes that popup saying congratulations you've received
1000 or so MVP points, just click OK and ignore them, because that's
not where the bigtime MVP points are. Go to "Advance to next
day" and keep pressing continue until you're back at the main
dynasty management page and a box pops up saying that the regular
season is over.
Right now, save your dynasty and once you're finished saving it go to
"Advance To Playoffs", you MUST make sure you save your
dynasty at this point BEFORE you choose to advance to the playoffs.
After you click on "advance to playoffs," a box will pop up
saying "Congratulations, you have completed one or more tasks and
have been awarded XXXXX MVP points." The amount of MVP points
varies, however you are guaranteed to receive anywhere between at
least 15,000 and 20,000 MVP points. Click on OK after that box comes
up and press CIRCLE on your PS2 controller which brings up your
profile options. When you bring up your profile options go to
"Save Profile" and save your profile, it will ask if you
want to overwrite previous data and choose YES.
There you go, you've just gotten roughly 20,000 MVP points. Do NOT
save your dynasty, the only time you should have ever saved this
dynasty was after you finished simming the regular season before you
clicked on "advance to playoffs". At this point, just exit
the dynasty and a message will pop up saying "are you sure you
want to exit, you will lose all of your MVP points and unsaved
changes", ignore this message and choose YES. You will not lose
your MVP points because you have already saved your profile! You'll
now be back at the main menu of MVP Baseball 2004. Just go back to
game modes, then go to dynasty mode and load the dynasty.
Once you load the dynasty, just click on "Advance to
playoffs" and you'll receive another 20,000 MVP points. Just save
your profile and exit the dynasty, then just load it back up again,
click on advnace to playoffs again, save your profile again, and exit.
You can do this as much as many times as you want, then just go to
"My MVP" on the main menu MVP Baseball 2004 and go into
"MVP REWARDS" and unlock EVERYTHING.
