Baseball Superstars 2012 Tips & Cheats
Training frequency sufficient to avoid negative skills
Train one by one saving remaining active points on next turn, starting on 1st, 11th, 21st and 31st game. Usually it takes 2 management breaks (3 skills to train, there is no penalty for not training batter -DEFENSE / pitcher – CURVE). On all other breaks You can do whatever You want, just stick to the scheme. Training one break later than last time (i.e. training STAMINA on GAME 13 and next time on GAME 25) usually is harmless but try to avoid it especially in the beginning. I have noticed that it’s ok NOT TO TRAIN on games 41-45, probably every year the “training counter” is reset to zero.
ONE YEAR TRAINING EXAMPLE (PITCHER):
GAME 1: CONTROL & SPEED
GAME 3: STAMINA
GAME 11: CONTROL
GAME 13: SPEED & STAMINA
GAME 21: CONTROL & SPEED
GAME 23: STAMINA
GAME 31: CONTROL
GAME 33: SPEED
GAME 35: STAMINA
good skill set you could use for batters
Yomi special skill
Bravery because pitchers tend to throw much more strikes than balls. Therefore I swing a lot more; so having a better batting/slugging% with more strikes is useful for me.
Gameplay:
I found the hitting AMAZINGLY hard until about year six. But it must have had a little to do with my timing, and relying on the eagle eye too much, because when I started a new guy I was able to hit OK as a rookie. I don’t know about .600 though. That’s unrealistic anyway (not that this is a “realistic” baseball game, but still).
For pitching, I found that 1) you don’t start being able to get guys out consistently until you’re about level three in control and speed and 2) you shouldn’t always aim for the corners.
I’ve had a lot more success starting out with a high inside fastball not on the corner, but middle in and high for a strike. Throw some balls too when you’re ahead in the count. Half the time when I throw to the corner, it gets hit hard. And of course, players do ridiculous things like pull a low and away slider on an 0-2 pitch for a home run.
All in all, they pretty much make it so that you can’t have a dominant pitching career without G points… you can just have a couple of great years at the end. Same for hitting, just less so.
This is definitely a game where they’ve designed it so that you can’t possibly dominate anything, or even do consistently well without paying for points.
They also really want you to grind, look at the achievements. Ten gamevil cups to get the achievement? Not even an achievement for your first? Or your first hall of famer? Twenty no hitters? Seriously? No, the longer you play, the more you pay. That’s the thinking.
Money:
From what it seems, it looks like the only way you can get money is through your yearly salary with an incentive, part time job, and game events. I have no clue how you would get 6 mil, it seems impossible.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmnn!!
I can’t hit that Fu$%%ng ball in Batter Mode!! It’s extremely hard to even make a hit!!!
I’m hating this game…i really prefer 2011 edition rather than this one!
You suck balls
You are a balls sucker
An hero
Same 2011 is lot easier and more fun
u can’t get 1 hit? really? have u ever played baseball in real life?
agreed!
You’re taking his comments way too literally. Playing baseball has nothing to do with the timing of tapping the screen on an iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad. And he probably has gotten some hits, but the game is geared towards getting the user aggravated and just paying for skills.
You just have to be patient Kero, I thought the same thing when I started playing the game but it’s all about timing. You’re probably swinging to quick, I was the MVP on the 2nd year. Timing is everything.
I restarted batter mode a few times, really takes awhile to get used to the pitches. The third time I batted .550 the first year, went down to .450 the next 3 years, then climbed to .550 .650, and finally .800 the last two years. DONT use eagle eye (unless its free) you eventually intuitively see where the pitch will go and can time it and eagle eye messes this up.
I’ve also noticed that streaks are common. In the beginning I’d have a 6 game hitting streak, then go 4 games with nothing. Towards the end I’d have 4 games with 3 home runs in each, then no home runs for 5 games. Whatever…
With respect to super pitchers, I rely entirely on timing just to make contact. Until year 9 and 10 I never really got hits off of them.
Finally, google all of the trivia questions, its free points!
800 avg? dang… my best was 794 lol
My bes is 0.958 hehe you can always go to main menu ans repeat and relying on eagle eye is important and I always gets home run against super pitchers I get always perfect game of homerun and important tip for super pitchers always focus on the second throw and it is fun game
Why cant i start a new batter ans keep my old one?
You can, you have to add them to the Hall of Fame and then you can put them on your “TEAM” in team mode. Nice part to this game, can make an entire team out of your batter/pitcher career mode players….only that would take forever. Working on a 2nd batter and my 1st pitcher…..
With that said, Pitchers take crazy amounts of G points to get them to where you want them to be so I would have to say level up/ aquire the breaking balls you want 1st year so you can concentrate on just getting your stats better from there on. PS DONT START A PITCHER UNTIL YOU HAVE AT LEAST 2,000 G Points.
do i have to play all 10 years of the my batter in order to add them to hall of fame?
cus
Start a team and play tournaments.You can make 5000G points a day easy.
Use these points to boost batters and pitchers. By year 5 i hit homeruns every game and never get less than a B rating. Let me know if this helps.
can you use those g points from team mode in batter mode?
Yes, gpoints are global. You can also complete 1 season get 500ish gpoints, and then delete the batter and start over. Make a few thousand gpoints in a few hours doing this. The game is way easier than people realize.
how exactly are u getting 500 gpoints for one season as a batter? do i need to do anything special
Just hit doubles, triples, and of course homeruns (if your stats allow you to) in each game and your g points will rack up themselves. Hitting cycles in a game also give a good boost and allow for rapid increase in amount of g points considering they’re worth 50 g points. Eventually after the first season i believe you begin to talk to people during intermissions of games and on some accordances they give you stat boosts, money, condition (morale), or g points. Also answering quizes right which start some time after the 2nd year i think give you 200-250 g points if answered corrected
how do i get rid of negative effects without spending g? my batter has Mis-Swing. i’ve leveled his hitting up twice but can’t get rid of the effect.
ik u dont wanna use g points but u gotta. save up 800 and buy hypnotherapy
no thats just a waste of g points. Continue hit training but in order for the effect to go away you have to actually hit the ball in games as well, the more consistent the faster it goes away.
Yes, you can
How do you become a starting pitcher!? I’m in season 4 and it says I’m still not ready to become one! I can’t even be a closer either! Is there something I’m missing cuz I’ve won MVP every season so far!
I became a closer in Season 4. Guess you have to train or something.
Gotta increase stamina
Just increase your popularity and stamina. Also, be consistent in your games. Do well in every game and you’ll be a starter in no time. I became a starter in year 3 and a rookie mvp.
That depends on ur popularity too~
Wanna start a fight in the game? Pitch as close to the batter’s head as possible. After a few beanballs, the theme will start and the dugout will clear for a few seconds. Then it’s blurry, and then they take their base.
U all suck balls for looking up cheats
your looking up cheats too…
I finished pitcher mode and I wanted to know how you restart without deleting the game
enter your pitcher into the hall of fame. doing so will save your player and allow you to start over with a new one. If you go into team mode you can add your saved players to your team and be badass haha unfortunately it costs a lot of g points to enter your player in the hall of fame.
Has anyone hit a triple? Seems impossible!
you have to get your speed up first, then you can either get a triple normally, or sometimes with your Super hitting/SuperBat will hit a deep ball -
Rundowns work great too.
I have. Its so freaking easy to hit a triple with a “speedy” player with griffon feet ( type of shoes )
You’re also going to have to hit the ball to right field.
If u chose slugger, triples are only off bad throws, or if they take long to get the ball
As long as you have high power stats and speed stats then any type of player can hit triples normally. Ive already gone through the game with each type of player and they all eventually hit triplpes quite frequently. buying equipment helps raise your stat above its cap too and so can your costume
I’ve recruited other pitchers for my team from the Hall of Fame, but how do I use G Points to increase their stats?
u can’t increase the stats of ur players. only super batters and super pitchers
How can I get my outfielders to make super throws? I’m sick of them doing it to me, and not being able to do it back!
idk
But most the time..i got a home run instead…it’s hard to get cycle tooo…..
once your power, speed, and hit stats get really high then it gets a lot easier to make cycles. In a season i get at least 7 cycles
how do you unlock yomi
go to super pitchers and click on her. Itll tell you what you have to do to unlock her or ask you if you want to buy her with g points.
I’ve been playing baseball all my life, and I have to say Baseball Superstars 2012 is very easy to play. I’ve finished all seasons up to 12 with a minimum avg of 4.87
Season 6 of pitcher mode. I am no longer able to purchase skills even though I have 65 sp and 1 extra slot in my skill set.
If i go to options an reset my team, do i lose all of the hall of famers i gained?? I want to restart cuz it stopped saving my stats for some reason a while back

I only play the Pitching but I agree- 2011 is simpler and more fun.
The more I “practice” the worseI get. Is it EVEN POSSIBLE to beatout an infield hit and not a bunt? Also, have the geeks who made this game ever played? a fair ball is inside the line past the base, and teamates don’t criticize each other like this. Tired of the TWINKS crying when I get screwed, and whoever pitched against a xombie, hillbilly with a shotgun and a 6 year old girl who shoots the ball out of her…
Lame game all around
I have leveled all my skills except for defense up to level 5, but now I can’t seem to level them anymore. Does that mean that I can’t get any more SP points for the rest of my game?
Useful info. Lucky me I discovered your site accidentally, and I am stunned why this coincidence didn’t happened in advance! I bookmarked it.
What’s best to spend g points on? Just super batting? Or shop items? Do they only last 1 game?
This game is a total joke, you can not succeed unless you spend money. No amount of playing without spending money on upgrades will lead you to meaningful stats. Everyone on this board who said they hit tons of Hrs,rbi’s, triples etc either spent money on the game or are liars. The company that makes this game should disband or just be truthful and tell us this version sucks, buy the real one.
In my team mode the help guide tells about setting so you can only bat if you want for a tournament etc. for days I have been through all areas of the game and cannot find “game settings” or anything. I want to only bat during my team games. Can you do this? Thanks.
Any ideas??
genome468 on January 14, 2011 i checked out your site. not bad. its done prttey much like craigslist so i enjoyed the familiarity. A question tho. how long has the site been up? This can grow to be a big thing just like craigslist.. good luck to ya
Posted on I’d must test with you here, which isn’t something I ulusaly do! I get pleasure from reading a post that will make folks think. Thanks for permitting me to remark!
Just some tips for the people that are punoirg their hearts out because they don’t have a lot of neopoints (or paint brushes!) :1. Play key-quest. A lot of times you get codestones and/or neggs, which you can usually sell between 2-3k (2000-3000 np) And from the gold vault, ive even gotten 4 paint brushes (3 speckeld, 1 biscuit)!!! so play key-quest!!2.Play easy flash games like kass basher ( neomail me at bubbly__tea for info on how to get the bat!) fashion fever, adver video, wheel of slime and so on.3. Maybe have a supportive neofriend? I had one who made donations over 50000 np (thanks sirscooby77!!!) maybe i can be a supportive friend.just neomail me oh, and , check out my shop, if you will !!! (only petpets, and at a realllly cheap price!!!)
Hey guys I’ve been playing Neopets for about two years now.word of adicve I see that a lot of people say they will give everyone out there free np and stuff like that if you e-mail them and give them your password, well guess what, don’t do it!Most of the time those people will ban others who play Neopets or steal his/her np, so be aware.Sure, there are little free stuff you can get like the free omelette in Tyrannia and free jelly in Jelly World, but still.Just play games and try to save up your money and then you can buy fancy stuff.Oh, and to Harleyy up there?Get.A.Life.thanks
For Ed
we cant play with choosen inning in tourney and match. But we can choose inning when we play friendly
Just push the “setting” below the “play”
u guys all suck the game is super easy u all just suck dont download a game and whine about it when it gets hard…suck it up and grow some balls =)
After the first season my stats dont increase as much when I train. Does anyone know why?
Because you get a bonus to training your rookie season. The manager even mentions he’s taking it away at the start of the second season.
you sould just get hawk eye under shop g point items
This game is easy I’ve been MVP every season in my batter mode
Hint: Under "My Team" mode you can play a seemingly unlimited number of tournaments. Play the Gamevil Cup which is the easiest for a prize of 300G. Each game you win on this tournament gives additional G (50, 100, and 150 I believe for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd game) along with whatever G was collected during gameplay.
Its much easier if you have a fully developed batter and pitcher. Both my batter and pitcher are past 1,000 in all stats using this method and items purchased during "My Batter" and "My Pither" modes. You can recruit these players into your team.
Game glitch: While pitching, pause the game while the umpire begins to yell "STRIKE". When done correctly it will glitch for 2 or 3 seconds. When you resume the game it will skip through the inning with no hits allowed!
Thank you for some other fantastic article. Where else could anybody get that kind of information in such an ideal means of writing? I’ve a presentation subsequent week, and I’m at the search for such information.
