This week’s roster update for MLB 08: The Show is out and it contains 37 changes. They’ve highlighted the specific ones below.

RP Ryan Z Braun moved from Royals Relief to Royals Minors.
SP John Lackey moved from Angels Starting to Angels Minors.
RP Anthony Reyes moved from Cardinals Starting to Cardinals Relief.
3B Nomar Garciaparra moved from Dodgers Position to Minors.
1B Olmedo Saenz moved from Mets Position to Mets Minors.
CF Brady Clark moved from Free Agent to No Team.
RP Kyle Davies moved from Royals Minors to Royals Relief.
SP Kyle Lohse moved from Free Agent to Cardinals Starting.

The regular season is about to begin! It is very much a relief to know that a new very detailed roster update is coming on a week-to-week basis instead of wondering when the next will arrive and if it’ll even be any good to begin with. One benefit of this is that players not in the MLBPA will be added into the game immediately after they’re eligible. So next week’s update should be very significant as it will contain new players and finalized regular season rosters.

    [quote comment="16114"]Hey Pasta, this is a question for both The Show and 360. In the past, when they updated players not in the MLBPA, have they just changed the names, or have they changed the faces, information and attributes? I haven’t downloaded any roster updates in the past, and I was just wondering.[/quote]

    The updates in The Show ’07 featured entirely new players in the updates. For example, if John Q. Player was added to the game, you’d have a guy that accurately reflects John Q. Player’s physical attributes and information. Most of the newly added players would come with a sound clip that said their names, IIRC, but not a portrait of them. It’d be a generic looking created-player model for the portrait.

    Oh, and C-Squared, I hardly played 2k7 last season, so I can’t remember what the updates were like, or even if i updated at all! I’m fairly certain however that it would be inline with what The Show does as far as new players.

    Can we choose our unis game to game or does the game choose them for us? I can’t stand it when they pick our uniform for each game.

    Exhibition – Yes, you choose your own
    Franchise – No, you do not

    And the Opening Day roster update for The Show probably won’t be the one people are waiting for. They usually release on Monday mornings, and on the morning of March 31, a lot of guys still wouldn’t have played their first major-league game (Fukudome, others).

    April 7 would be the next update after that; and would probably have all the good stuff.

    Why do people keep asking if ya can update the rosters into your franchise midseason? That’s not gonna happen. Think about if for a minute. Any transactions made by you or the computer during your franchise would be null & void. Makes no sense to keep asking about it.

    ok, i love playing franchises on MLB 08 the show. The only problem is, it does not let me update the new rosters every time they are available. I started a franchise 2 months ago and im still stuck with all of the old players from the padres.(im playing as the padres) All im asking is if you know how to update rosters to the Franchise or Season modes. Thank you
