Hint: Ultimate pitcher:
When creating a pitcher, fill all stats in every category, then name your pitcher Wildthing. When pitching, hold Left or Right and watch your crazy pitching.

Hint: Creating the ultimate team:
When editing a team, make the first four players perfect in every category. Make the best player possible with the remaining points. In the substitute hitter list, create four more perfect players. When starting a game, substitute the four worst players on the regular lineup with the perfect players from the hitter list. This creates a team of eight perfect players and one best as possible player.
