This may be known by everyone, but I didn't know this.

The waxes stack! I ended Success with a pitcher with 95MPH. I was able to purchase multiple waxes and use them and ended up with a 100MPH! I gather you can do the same with spikes wax, and bat wax.

So this means:

1. Save as much money as possible for the end
2. Have a discount ticket for the end
3. Sell everything that don't carry over (Psychic goggles, prince necklaces, focus stones, etc...)
4. Buy waxes
5. Use waxes
6. Look in awe at your new stats.

Hm, can you use the waxes BEFORE the last game so you can S/L and have the bonuses for the end? Oh my god, if that works, imagine the possibilities! Does anyone know if there's a limit?

You can use the waxes at any time during success mode.

Does the waxes cause the points needed to upgrade to be higher? If so, I'd rather wait til the end to use them. Also, once you use the waxes, they stay indefinitely? I always thought the waxes were temporary boosts.

Waxes effect stays on as long as your using the same equipment you applied it to. And it doesn't change the points needed, even if it did. Just unequip it during upgrades.

I'd still rather do it at the end since you won't end up using multiple turns to go to the store and you have a chance of getting better equipment before using the waxes.

I work for jaw, don't spend any money. S/L over and over until I get the gambler's ring, and go on with the game never having to buy anything from the store. Then at the end of the game, sell anything I can't use in MLB Life/Season mode, and use the discount coupon. Then I buy all new equipment, and if I have any money, buy those things that boost your abilities in certain areas. I think they're only $600. I don't know what they're called.
