http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/912/-5rz5A==.jpgUnhittable (30 points)

Don't give up any hits in a game

 

Pick a team (I will be using the Yankees).

 

Step One:

Go to Rosters.

Go to the Yankees.

Go to all of the hitters, I mean all of them.

Edit These Stats:

-Everything under hitting to max

-Everything under fielding to max

Go to all of the pitchers

Go to the last pitcher on the list and click trade to team.

Go to the Giants and trade for Linecum.

Edit These Stats for Linecum and Sabathia:

-All pitching at max

-All hitting at max

 

Step Two:

Go to Rosters.

Go to the Pirates.

Go to all of the hitters, I mean all of them too. Really all of them.

Edit These Stats:

-Everything under hitting to minimal.

-Everything under fielding to minimal.

 

Step Three:

Go to Difficulty.

Go to Hitting.

Change These:

-Everything under 'human' to max

-Everything under 'cpu' to minimum

Go to Fielding/Running/etc.

Change These:

-Everything under 'human' to max, except Field Errors, put this at zero

-Everything under 'cpu' to minimum, except Field Errors, put this at max

 

Step Four:

Go to Management

Go to Create Player

Press Start

--Achievement Unlocked

Your stats should be 100% perfect to work on alot of achievements.

Go to Play Now.

Pick the away team as the Yankees, home team as the Pirates.

Press Y to edit options.

-Change the innings to 9, field to Wrigley

Now while it is loading make sure Linecum is not the starting pitcher.

Now start the game.

 

Step Five:

Top of Inning One::

Hit as many homers as you can. The pitcher's stats for the Pirates needs to stay at normal, it is easier to hit homers, trust me.

If you did not hit a sure homerun stay on 3rd base.

From here do the following.

-Press LT a few times to lead off of third

-Once you start the stealing process run towards home

-Let the catcher get the ball

-Press the RS towards the catcher, knocking him over. This may take a few tries

--Achievement Unlocked,

With the last hitter up in the lineup press start on the controller.

Go to Substitutions

Click Pinch Hitter

Change the hitter to Linecum.

Hit a home run with Linecum. Must be out of the park. If it is in the park run fast. The other team can not touch the ball before you cross home plate for it to count as a home run.

--Achievement Unlocked

Keep hitting homers

By now you should have alot of runs.

Once you hit 15 runs start hitting more home runs.

If you do not hit a home run, stay on first/second and steal.

Bottom of the First Inning::

Now you are a pitcher.

Pitch with Sabathia, its easier.

Throw sliders (X button), Sabathia almost 75% of the time will strike him out.

If the ball is hit in the air, catch it. Your stats are at max.

 

Repeat the Inning above the whole game.

 

Some of these will take more than one game, but you can get a majority of these in one game. I was able to get 50 homeruns, 30 steals in one game. Played the season for the achievements and got the 100 homeruns, 50 steals.

 

All of the ...with your user profile... achievements unlock after the game and after your profile saves. Make sure after every game you play that you save your profile, other wise the games wont count.

Win the World Series® in Franchise mode (play at least 20 games)

 

These achievements are time consuming. The easiest way to do these is to set the game up on:

 

Custom Rosters

Custom Stats

Settings -> Presentation Settings -> Replays - Never, Fast Baseball - On

3 innings

No Fatigue

No Injuries

 

Then you must play 20 regular season games. Win or lose. Do not sim the whole season, sim to the last day of the season. Then play the final game. Then once playoff season comes, sim/play up to the World Series. Sim game by game until you are up 3 games to whatever. Now play one more game and win. All of the season achievements will unlock.

 

You must play the final World Series game to get all of these achievements.

 

To check how far you are on each achievement go to:

MLB.com -> Statistics -> Player Stats -> HR/Runs/Ks/Saves

 

Easy Strike Outs: Have one of your pitchers pitch the most games. I simmed for this achievement. When I actually played the twenty games I didnt go for the strikeout achievement. I ended the season with 278 strikeouts.

 

Easy Home Runs/Runs: In the twenty games you actually play, play against easy opponents. Do not try and play against the Yankees in season mode and expect to get a bunch of home runs. But playing against the Pirates will grant you alot of home runs.

 

Easy Saves: Have all but one of your pitchers crappy. Never start the good pitcher. That way he will come into the game late and 'save' it for you. Or out of the twenty games you actually play have a relief pitcher come into the game at the top of the ninth.

 

Another Easy Save Method: Play your twenty games for the first twenty. Then sim to the trade deadline. Go to the stats and order it so it shows who has the most saves. Trade your best pitcher for this player. Then save your game. Now sim till the end of the season. Keep doing this until the person has 40 saves. Then play the World Series game.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/912/+0MMig==.jpgIf you build it... (5 points)

Create a Card Team

 

Go to Cards.

Click Create A Team.

Create a team using cards.

This achievement can be done from the start. They give you just enough starter cards to make a team.

Achievement Unlocked.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/912/+qP0GQ==.jpgSpring Training (5 points)

Try all 4 Practice Modes

 

Play all 4 of the practice modes to get this achievement. Practice modes teach you the basic setup of the game. Practice is located under Spring Training.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/912/+YTgFw==.jpgKing of the Hill (5 points)

Get to the top of the Best of the Best ladder in Home Run Derby® Mode

 

This is a long achievement for 5 points. You have to beat all 20 Best of the Best players. The first 10 are easy and go by fast. After that they get greater and greater. This can take hours. Just keep hitting homers and hope they fail.

 

Goto your rosters, select Atlanta Braves. Then select Chipper Jones. Edit his batting stats to the max.

 

Then select Homerun Derby. Select Chipper Jones and make the Homerun Derby at Fenway Park. He is a switch hitter, so he will bat left handed. After every 5 batters you beat you will get the option to select another batter to use. Just keep using Chipper.

 

These are the batters that you will face for this achievement. Before you start, go into Management, then Rosters. Edit each of these players' batting stats for HR against left hand/right hand pitchers to zero. They won't hit any homeruns at all.

 

1. J. Morneau(Twins)

2. C. Pena(Rays)

Win the World Series® in Postseason Mode (Play Final Game)

 

For this you must win the World Series in Postseason Mode, which is under Game Modes. So sim/play to the final game and play the final game all the way through, winning of course. Can be done on 3 innings.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/912/+9r1RQ==.jpgTeam 2K (60 points)

Beat a Team 2K member or someone that has unlocked this achievement in an online game

 

How this will work is: The 2K Member loses, the winner gets this achievement. Now whoever beats the guy with the achievement will get the achievement. Then whoever beats these players will get the achievement. This will keep going on and on like a virus.

 

The achievement is now spreading around. Try posting in the achievement trading thread to have someone lose a game to you.

 

Thanks to everyone who spent their own time to give this achievement out. This achievement is spreading like crazy.

Unlock all 320 Cards

 

There are 320 different cards in this game. To unlock cards you must play on Pro. For each card you have different requirements. You can click on each card and see the description on how to get it. There is no card trading in this game so you have to do them all.

 

A basic card definition will be:

 

Get x amount of runs with this player

 

or

 

Get x amount of strike outs on this player

 

Here is a guide made by dreamweaver1984

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/912/s1.jpgHard Knocks (5 points)

Hit three batters in a row

 

Pick a team and play as the home team. Now hold left or right, towards the batter, on the LS. Then press a button to pitch. It will hit the player. Repeat two more times.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/912/s2.jpgVicious Cycle (50 points)

Hit a Home Run, a Triple, a Double and a Single in one game with one player

 

See ‘Unhittable’ for more information.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/912/s3.jpgThis old man came rolling home (50 points)

Steal home

 

See ‘Unhittable’ for more information.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/912/s4.jpgExpect the Unexpected (5 points)

See ‘Unhittable’ for more information.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/912/s5.jpgThat's all folks (50 points)

Hit a home run to win a game

 

Keep the game close. Start the final inning and pitch them out. Now if the game is tied or you are behind its better. Now hit the ball as hard as you can. If it isn’t a homerun, stay on 1st. Repeat until you get a homerun.

 

This can be done on 3 innings. Inside the park homeruns count for this.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/912/s6.jpgUntouchable (50 points)

Throw a No Hitter with one pitcher in a game

 

This can not be done on 3 innings.

 

Easy Method: Save after every inning. If you screw up, load up the save. Keep going until you get the achievement.

 

See ‘Unhittable’ for more information.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/912/s7.jpgYa Can't Get fooled Again (50 points)

Strike out a batter and throw out a runner on the same play

 

For this you need to set the CPU stats for Steal Agression to max. Then walk someone to first base. Now pitch two strikes.

 

Here is the tricky part:

 

Throw a low strike to the hitter. Then with the catcher press Y as fast as you can. Hopefully you can catch someone stealing. If not rinse and repeat.

 

This achievement can be boosted online with a partner.

its a decent guide, but the whole (x) button for C.C isn't working for me... is there any trick to strikeouts? I have 575 in the game right now. Plus a better description of HOW TO get cards would be cool. Like can I play my maxed team over and over and get all cards or do I have to start playing all the other teams? Plus still need an online buddy to get (strikeout/throwout) anyone interested hit me up

Sliders are what I use for strikeouts. Most of the time it strikes them out easily. Of course you will need to move around the LS so it isnt the same pitch over and over. They do get smarter after awhile.

 

For the cards. Yes you can use your team. Check the card description for the card you are going for. Most of the time it will say:

 

Get x amount of runs with this player

 

or

 

Get x amount of strike outs on this player

 

 

All cards must be done on Pro

 

EDIT: Added the above to the guide.

This guide is really good.

 

I have a great detail of the "King of the Hill" achievement in a thread here.

 

As for cards, you can change players to the team u are using and the team that you are playing against to get them. In one game I got like almost 20 cards. For example, the catcher from the A's you only have to get 1 hit with for the card, but the back up catcher for the giants needs 2 hits, so put them both on your team, once you get the hit with the A's catcher, sub in the other catcher(by the way he is really a 3rd baseman, but is 100 in catcher also.). That will give you 2 cards in 1 batting slot. The Brave's 2nd baseman(Johnson) only needs 1 stolen base and the 2nd baseman(Kendrick) from the Angels only needs to score a run. So what you do is make the Johnson your lead-off. Get a hit, but keep him on first. Then steal 2nd base. Then pinch run and put in Kendrick. Now just score a run with him. If anybody needs any help understanding this, hit me up on live.

 

I have found for most of the pitcher cards, it's best to do it against them. Like the ones where you have to pitch 7 perfect innings in a row. Kinda hard.

 

Side note: I found that it is easier to use "Total Control" for pitching instead of "Classic". I know that last year it was the other way around.

You might want to note that in order to get all the classic player cards...you will need a total of 500 RBI, 500 Strikeouts, and 500 Homeruns. Each player requires X amount of one of these like you said in your guide, but to get all of them you will end up needing 500 of each of the above mentioned.

You might want to post that while going for the InSeason achievements to work on the cards. Basically what i'm doing is starting a season and working against the BlueJays and play 1 game of that series and get most if not all of the cards versus them and then simulate the rest of the series and move on.

 

On your team your best option is to start off with whatever team and once you unlock certain players after a game trade them right after that game for another card that you do not need and work on them. I'm 35 games in right now and i have 183 cards.

Has anyone unlocked the "Ya Can't Get fooled Again " achievement and can they confirm that what's written in the guide is what has to be done to unlock it? Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but what's written in the guide is neither a Strike-Out/Throw-Out, nor is that description done in one play.

The achievement is a weird one. I went by what I read somewhere else and took basis off of that. I cant figure out what it is supposed to be to get. A strike out is easy. But throw out isnt.

 

UPDATE:

 

The guide was updated with a tip from Tripl299 regarding King of the Hill

 

UPDATE 2:

 

You can get win the game with a homerun on 3 innings.

A Strike-Out/Throw-Out would be if there's less than two outs with a runner on first and two strikes on the batter. With the runner trying to steal second, throw strike three to the batter and then throw out the runner.

 

I tried it with two controllers and it didn't unlock. I can't get the computer to try and steal second enough to try it.

Major League Baseball 2k9 Achievement Guide

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/912/s3.jpgThis old man came rolling home (50 points)

 

If you did not hit a sure homerun stay on 3rd base.

From here do the following.

-Press LT a few times to lead off of third

-Once you start the stealing process run towards home

-Let the catcher get the ball

-Press the RS towards the catcher, knocking him over. This may take a few tries

--Achievement Unlocked,

 

I found a much easier way, imo, to do this. Following your guide, I realised I sucked when trying to get my runner to attempt to bulldose the catcher. So what I did was I did a double steal. I had runners on 1st and 3rd and at first took off with my runner towards 2nd. When the catcher went for the bait, I then had my runner on 3rd successfully steal home without a play there and the achievement unlocked upon crossing home plate.
