This week’s roster update for MLB 08: The Show contains 195 player movements with a handful of them being highlighted below. The Red Sox, A’s, Braves, and Nationals have played regular season games but the rest of the league starts up today so look for next week’s update to be even more significant.

LF Paul McAnulty moved from Padres Minors to Padres Bench.
3B Chase Headley moved from Padres Bench to Padres Minors.
RP Kip Wells moved from Rockies Starting to Rockies Relief.
3B Scott Rolen moved from Blue Jays Position to Blue Jays Minors.
LF Shannon Stewart moved from Blue Jays Bench to Blue Jays Position.
RP Justin Hampson moved from Padres Relief to Padres Minors.
RP Tim Stauffer moved from Padres Minors to Padres Relief.
C Johnny Estrada moved from Nationals bench to Nationals minors.
RF Jeff Baker moved from Rockies Minors to Rockies Bench.
DH Scott Podsednik moved from Rockies Bench to Rockies Position.
2B Marcus Giles moved from Rockies Position to Free Agent.
CP Brad Lidge moved from Phillies Closer to Phillies Minors.
2B Nick Punto moved from Twins Position to Twins Bench.
RP Greg Jones moved from Dodgers Minors to Dodgers Relief.
3B Tony Abreu moved from Dodgers Position to Dodgers Minors.

Adding to the impressiveness of the updates is that SCEA is actively seeking feedback for future ones. Whether it is errors in the rosters, batting stances, or even details as minuscule as the equipment the players use they’d like to hear about it. You can send in feedback in to sceamlbfeedback@gmail.com

Is there anyway to keep using the roster updates in franchise mode to keep the rosters current, or once you start a franchise are they locked in?

As far as I know, once you start a franchise you’re stuck with the roster that you initially use. Kind of stupid on my opinion, but that’s how it is I guess. I’m waiting until next week’s update until I start a franchise, I’m happy enough with RTTS as of now.

I really wish they could update the player’s pictures in the game. Not only are they pictures from last year (from all that I’ve seen so far) but so many are outdated or missing. I don’t understand why big time rookies like Joba can’t have a picture in the game. This should be a feature that can be updated, especially if they’re thinking of editing player’s stances and equipment. This and the fact that players “ghost” through each other are the only real annoyances I have with the game. I hate seeing players run through each other, or constantly walk through the home-plate umpire after scoring. Other than these few things, I love the game and think RTTS is a very fun feature.

Is 2k8 not going to get roster updates? – Reeso2991

Yep – they’ll be included in upcoming patch

2K’s updates take longer as, unlike Sony’s game, they have to forward update to Microsoft for approval, so my guess is they’ll always be a week or two behind

Well I’d expect a 2K roster update within the next week or two. They had stated that they were shooting for 5 or 6 roster updates (opening day, all-star break, trade deadline, 2nd trade deadline, end of season)

See above. A player has to appear in a regular season game before he becomes part of the MLBPA and can appear in a roster update.

You realize that any updated rosters would conflict with your franchise rosters, don’t you? I mean really, is it so hard for everyone that asks to grasp that concept?

So I assume that MLB 08 does not use fake names as much as they do in MLB 2k8. Example, MLB 08 Fukudome is not in the game and in MLB 2k8 his name is Fortunato. I don’t have the game so I don’t know what they do in MLB 08.
