All Star Baseball '99

Manual Camera in Home Run Derby


If you want to enable the manual camera option in Home Run Derby, do the following: Start a regular game (not Home Run Derby) and turn on the manual camera view. Now exit the game and enter Home Run Derby. Now controller 2 (or which ever one isn't used to control the players) can mess around with the camera views, just like in the other modes.

Slow Motion and Freeze


Go to the options and pick manual camera (you need to have a controller plugged in that is not used for any team). While playing, you can use the control pad to freeze or put the game into slow motion. Push left on the pad to freeze the game and right to put it into slow motion. Get Abducted (Ultimate Cheat)
Here's how to get Acclaim's much-advertised "Ultimate Cheat:" Enter the following word at the "Enter Cheats" screen: ATEMYBUIK. Now start a game and choose the following stadium: Alienopolis. The second team will now be replaced by bug-eyed green aliens (from a team called the Abductors") and play in a futuristic stadium called Alienopolis. Although the players' appearance will be changed, their images and abilities remain normal.

Easy Homers (vs. Computer)


Here is a way to almost always get a hit or a homerun in All-Star Baseball 99: First, turn on the pitch aid on the options screen. In the game, always set up your batting marker a little below the pitching marker -- so that the pitch marker is almost even with the top of your batting marker. Now, if the pitcher throws you an inside pitch, line the batting marker up so it is on the inside section of the batting marker, with the pitchers marker still directly even with the top of your batting marker. It should look like this: *+ . This will make you pull the ball. Do the same if the pitch is outside, only have the markers lined up like this. +*. This will make you hit the ball oposite field. If you get under it enough, you will hit a homerun, or get a base hit. ALMOST always.

Easy Strike


When you are pitching, if the batter squares around for a bunt and misses, he will automaticaly do it a second time -- so make your second pitch a pitch out, by pushing the B button after you select your pitch, instead of the A button

Stats Bug Fix


Just in case you missed it: To correct the stats errors that sometimes occur in All-Star when loading from a memory pak, simply load the stats twice. This will fix the problem.

Pick Off Baserunners Easily


Here's how to pick off computer opponents EVERY time they reach second: Select your pitch, then wait for the stupid baserunner to edge past the umpire on the screen, then pick him off. It's that simple. For all those who enjoy finding faults with sports games, enjoy. For all the rest of you, who yearn for a real challenge when it comes to sports games, collectively groan.

Cheat the Computer


Here's a nifty little underhanded way to cheat in All-Star: Wait until you're at bat, hit the ball anywhere, and then quickly pause the game and switch your controller to the other team. That way you can make the outfielder miss the ball, the SS not throw an easy grounder, and so on.
