There are 50 achievements with a total of 1000 points.

This can be done with two controllers.

Easy Strikes:

Create your own pitcher give him 100 on everything. Pick the knuckleball, fastball, screwball, and the slider.

I pitched a perfect game throwing, knuckleball first down the middle, screwball down and in, and finally throw a fastball high and inside.

Knuckleball (74mph), screwball (86mph), and fastball (97mph) - they cant handle it.

See ‘Unhittable’ for more information.

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

Your stats should be 100% - perfect to work on a lot of achievements.

Go to Play Now.
Pick the away team as the Yankees, home team as the Pirates.
Press 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 home run stay on 3rd base.
From here do the following.
-Press 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 towards the catcher, knocking him over. This may take a few tries

With the last hitter up in the lineup press 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.

Keep hitting homers
By now you should have a lot 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 (), 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 home runs, 30 steals in one game. Played the season for the achievements and got the 100 home runs and 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, otherwise the games wont count.

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 didn't 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 a lot 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.

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

This is a long achievement for 5 points. You have to beat all 20 Best of the Best players. The first ten 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.

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

Then select Home Run Derby. Select Chipper Jones and make the Home Run Derby at Fenway Park. He is a switch hitter, so he will bat left handed. After every five 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 home runs at all.

1. J. Morneau (Twins)
2. C. Pena (Rays)
3. C. Delgado (Mets)
4. C. Utley (Phillies)
5. E. Longoria (Rays)
6. C. Quentin (White Sox)
7. D. Wright (Mets)
8. V. Guerrero (Angels)
9. J. Hamilton (Rangers)
10. G. Sizemore (Indians)
11. M. Teixeira (Yankees)
12. D. Ortiz (Red Sox)
13. M. Cabrera (Tigers)
14. R. Braun (Brewers)
15. A. Dunn (Nationals)
16. P. Fielder (Brewers)
17. A. Pujols (Cardinals)
18. M. Ramirez (Free Agent, but with Live Roster will be on Dodgers)
19. A. Rodriguez (Yankees)
20. R. Howard (Phillies)

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

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.
