Homerun Tip:
On Triple Play 98 you have a much better chance of hitting a homerun if when you
swing you hit the box button and the two upper corner buttons at the same time.
Try it on homerun derby, it works great. We had 15 homeruns last time.
Playing Tips:
If the batter is left handed you must press the left upper and top upper
button,if the batter is right handed you must press the right upper and top
upper button while pressing the box button for the homeruns. Also when you pitch
a fast ball (x button) if you press the down arrow button your ball will be low
but the batter can't tell, if you push the up arrow button while pitching a
fastball your ball will be high. When your pitcher has the option of split
finger you should use this when playing the computer, the computer almost never
hits it.
Pitcher:
Finally, a CHEAT for created pitchers: if you give a created pitcher a throwing
speed of 99, you can throw out the guy on first almost always (let's say 95/100
times). So for those of you who're getting shelled into double digits, there's
this option for you until you gain a stronger skill level. As an aside, created
players may be edited for attribute ratings while still retaining their stats
for the season
Alternate Homerun:
To hit a Homerun everytime up to bat. Hold "all' top buttons. Press Up,
Triangle, Left, Right, square, Circle, Down, X. You have to do it when you are
in the batters box. On every hitter. When u do it correctly you will hear the
umpire say time but the play will resume. And BOOM when you hit it will will
travel over 700 feet everytime. Hold "all" top buttons hit X, down, circle,
square,right, left Triangle, up. (Do before picking pitch this only works if
you have already pitched one pitch and they miss it. After the first batter miss
the first pitch you type in the code and then you can put the other pitch in the
dirt and they will call stike three. On the next batter coming up you have to
type in the code again but you dont have to pitch a strike before you put in.
Only to start off a n inning.
HomeRun Tip:
To hit massive (600+) home runs, stand in the box and swing using only the up
button and the square button. You may have to find the right spot in the box
for individual players. For instance, Albert Belle stand as high up in the box
as possible. Using this method we have managed 68 home runs, 14 consecutive,
and 675 distance in one at bat in the Home Run Derby. This also works in the
regular game but ONLY with a player that has strong power and if the pitch is an
over the plate down the middle fastball. Other hitters will hit pitches in
other locations depending upon their specialty. For tips on what pitch a
particular batter favors, read the scouting reports.
