Hint: Barry Bonds:
Barry Bonds may have been kept out of this game by withdrawing himself from the MLBPA, but his replacement, fantasy player "Jim Dowd", has all his attributes. Simply go to Roster Management and choose Jim Dowd (he's easy to find: he's the best player on the Giants, and one of the best players in the game). Edit the player's name to "Barry Bonds", his number to 25 and his hand to lefty. Edit his features to appear less like a random white guy and more like the famous slugger.
Hint: Easy MVP Points:
When playing a Home Run Showdown or Pitcher Showdown, start the game on the MVP difficulty setting. As soon as the game loads up, pause and change the difficulty to something easier to handle, like Rookie or Pro. Now when you beat the computer you'll get the MVP points for winning on the MVP level, four times the original amount.
Hint: More Easy MVP Points:
First, check your MVP Rewards Checklist. Many of the tasks require you to beat certain teams at their home fields. Start a game against any of these teams and choose MVP Difficulty for maximum points. As the game begins, pause the game and switch controller ports to be the team that you're supposed to beat. If they are batting, simply swing and miss every pitch, and you will get large amounts of points for a Perfect Game, No Hitter, Shutout, and Complete Game. That's a couple of thousand points right there. When this team is on the field, just lob fastballs over the heart of the plate, or intentionally walk the batters and serve up Grand Slams. You get tons of points for putting up large offensive numbers. Now the most important part. At the end of the game, it is imperative that you switch the controller port back to the original team that you selected in order to receive credit for the final results. Since you need to beat the home team, they will have the last at-bat. So in the last inning, take control of the home team and do the "Swing and Miss" trick. Then on the final strike, swing as soon as the pitcher releases the ball, then quickly pause the game and switch the controllers again. It will be as if you aquired all of the stats for the visiting team, and you will be rewarded heavily for your performance.
Hint: Simulate to Earn MVP Points:
In Dynasty Mode you recieve MVP points periodically for accomplishments. Assemble a team you feel is good enough to simulate to the playoffs (hint: Yankees). Simulate the season up to the second to last game and then save the game. Once you have it saved, simulate the last game and move into the playoffs. Generally, you recieve anywhere between 5000-9000 MVP points for making the playoffs. Save the points onto your profile when prompted, and then exit the Dynasty mode without saving. Repeat the process and you'll notice that every time you simulate into the playoffs you're saving the points and not your progress. Do this about 20-25 times and you'll have enough points for all the rewards.
Hint: Ultimate Method of Earning MVP Points:
Start a new dynasty with the YANKEES. In the DYNASTY SETTINGS page right after you chose to start a new dynasty and even before you choose which team, choose NO for a fantasty draft, put the difficulty level on MVP, turn injuries off, turn suspensions off, turn errors off, turn the trade deadline OFF, turn CPU initiated trades OFF, turn rained out games OFF, and leave everything else as the default. Also, you need to make sure you have the user profile set as PROF1 or if you have your own profile use that one and set it as that in the dynasty options page.
Once you're on the main page of the dynasty, go to SCHEDULE. Scroll all the way through the calender to the last game of the season, since we are using the Yankees for the dynasty, the last game of the regular season on the calender should be on October 3rd, so scroll to October 3rd and choose "Sim up to and including this day." It will take a couple minutes to sim through the entire regular season because the baseball schedule is long and it also has to sim through your two minor league teams associated with the franchise. Throughout the sim, various messages will pop up about the allstar game, minor league playoffs, etc. When these messages pop up, just ignore them and choose "Continue Sim."
Once the sim finishes, go back to the main dynasty page and there will be a couple of boxes that popup saying congratulations you've received 1000 or so MVP points, just click OK and ignore them, because that's not where the bigtime MVP points are. Go to "Advance to next day" and keep pressing continue until you're back at the main dynasty management page and a box pops up saying that the regular season is over.
Right now, save your dynasty and once you're finished saving it go to "Advance To Playoffs", you MUST make sure you save your dynasty at this point BEFORE you choose to advance to the playoffs. After you click on "advance to playoffs," a box will pop up saying "Congratulations, you have completed one or more tasks and have been awarded XXXXX MVP points." The amount of MVP points varies, however you are guaranteed to receive anywhere between at least 15,000 and 20,000 MVP points. Click on OK after that box comes up and press CIRCLE on your PS2 controller which brings up your profile options. When you bring up your profile options go to "Save Profile" and save your profile, it will ask if you want to overwrite previous data and choose YES.
There you go, you've just gotten roughly 20,000 MVP points. Do NOT save your dynasty, the only time you should have ever saved this dynasty was after you finished simming the regular season before you clicked on "advance to playoffs". At this point, just exit the dynasty and a message will pop up saying "are you sure you want to exit, you will lose all of your MVP points and unsaved changes", ignore this message and choose YES. You will not lose your MVP points because you have already saved your profile! You'll now be back at the main menu of MVP Baseball 2004. Just go back to game modes, then go to dynasty mode and load the dynasty.
Once you load the dynasty, just click on "Advance to playoffs" and you'll receive another 20,000 MVP points. Just save your profile and exit the dynasty, then just load it back up again, click on advnace to playoffs again, save your profile again, and exit. You can do this as much as many times as you want, then just go to "My MVP" on the main menu MVP Baseball 2004 and go into "MVP REWARDS" and unlock EVERYTHING.
