Ok, so there is a lot of hidden stuff in this game that only someone who's played for years would know from reading forums everyday. Here is what I know...
-After throwing to the first baseman to end an inning, press R1 to flip the ball to the first base coach.
-Rapidly press all four shoulder buttons to hustle just a bit more while running bases. Great for stealing bases, touching up, and getting infield hits.
-I haven't seen it yet, but you could have an outfielder throw the ball into the stands by pressing R1 at the end of an inning in the Japanese series. Try it out. You'll probably have to make a catch near one of the walls.
-Press R2 before pitching for a pitch out.
-This isn't really a trick but more for the new fans who don't know the series well. On defense, press square to lunge for the ball(takes a lot out of your throw), X to dive, and triangle to jump. In the outfield, square will also allow you to make a butt sliding style catch. It's a lot safer than laying out to make the catch. I'm pretty sure the lunge is how you'll be able to do the Derek Jeter style jump throw. Also, when you're catching a fly ball, give yourself a bit of room and throw with momentum to get some extra zip on the ball. This is the only true way to make an amazing throw to the plate.
I know I'm forgetting some stuff, so I'll post again in the near future.
