What is the quickest/best way to earn points to buy stadiums and unlock things?

So far I've found:

Playing exhibition games gives you about 200 points per inning.
Success Mode gives 500 points.
Home run derby gives you various points based on how many runs you hit and how high the batter's power is (300 - 1200?)

Playing a season is good - 2k points per game, times 162 games = instant unlock everything.

Success mode being only 500 pts really bites - no baseball cards for me this year. I need to unlock forms and stadiums, so all my points go there.

That figures, the one aspect of the game that I haven't tried yet is the one that gives the most points... :?

Yeah, baseball cards suck this year. One time I bought 4 packs, and I got, like, 3 new cards out of it. I like last years' version of baseball cards, though.

HR Derby is very good, especially with a high-D low-C power player. You can hit HR's with them, and since their power is lower than say ADAM BAY'S, they'll get more points. I suggest Dante Powell!

Why are we killing birds? PeTA wouldn't be too happy. :lol:

Yeah, I guess that is good. You do get points really fast that way. And, the Credit Exploit still works, but you get only 500 points at a time.
