Hi guys, I have been s/l for like 20 min. trying to get the surprise bag in Bison's shop, but it won't come up. Can you even get a surprise bag in the shop?

No, not during the game. After you pass it will be in the shop.

I think I may have gotten it once, but then again... I don't think so.

I think the only way to do it is the Jaw events.

Ok, cross your fingers that I will get a pitching book in the final screen, because I am trying to get Dr. K.

You can get it from one of the legendary beef events with Isabela. The one in the mountains, with the supposed bear, if you choose to open your eyes you find it's a dog and then choose the just double option. Isabela says shell give you something special and you almost always get a surprise bag.

I got the surprise box from Jaw, and then got pitching book. It really helped then.

If you date patty. At xmas give her the romance necklace. In return she gives you a secrets of pitching book (much easier to S/L from here than a surprise bag, but you also get a surprise bag) if your a batter, replace secrets of pitching with secrets of hitting and you also get the surprise bag.

Jaw, find dog during the 2nd week.

Isabella the steak lady, when in the mountains, open your eyes to look, choose "just double?" and about 50% of the time you will get a S-Bag.

End game screen from Bison's shop.

Can't remember if you get it from the ladies when exchanging gifts and/or from Doc Blondie when you catch the glove thief.

One of my goals is to create a Gameshark cheat that makes the Gambler's Ring and three Secrets Books the only items available in the S-Bag. Or better yet, to place those items in the inventory from the start. I hate S/L'ing for those. Same with maxed scout/coach points. It gets tricky when you need them in games but don't want the abilities that come with a string of good performances.

Patty's the only one who gives you secrets of pitching in addition to a surprise bag a xmas. This is only if you give her the romance necklace as a gift.

Well, I'll keep that in mind for the next time I play.

This is the biggest reason that, in 2008, anyway, I think it's much easier to make a superstar that's all B's or better with tons of abilities, than make a nice, below average, realistic player. Apart from the abilities from good performances, it's just way harder to get good performances with those bad stats, especially trying to make a poor relief pitcher, your pitching sucks to begin with and they leave you in until you're beyond tired and if you give up any runs you're screwed.

Thanks guys this was really helpful

This is the only reason I would like a ps2

Well, while doing one of Jaw's jobs, I got the SB, and got the Ring. So yeah.
