MLB 08: The Show roster update 3/31
by 
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

How about them fixing the fatigue issue in Franchise Mode?
March 31, 2008 at 12:11 pm
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 Not only are they pictures from last year (from all that I’ve seen so far) but so many are outdated or missing.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?
March 31, 2008 at 2:50 pm
PASTA! OK, I know this has nothing to do with MLB 08
but there is a gameplay video of ncaa football 09 at http://www.youtube.com an search ncaa 09. The video will be called “first look at ncaa football 09″. OK?
March 31, 2008 at 2:58 pm
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
March 31, 2008 at 3:10 pm
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)
March 31, 2008 at 3:59 pm
Hey, ha anyone noticed that the contracts are a little off??? I think they are contracts from last season? Does anyone have an opinion on this?
March 31, 2008 at 4:43 pm
For those with no PS3 online hookup, email me for the roster update.

Hey, pasta, why arent players like Blake DeWitt which made the Dodgers and Brian Bocock and other rookies on this update?

rookies have to appear in an official MLB game before they can be added.
March 31, 2008 at 5:09 pm
the cubs roster still doesnt have fukudome. any word on that

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?
March 31, 2008 at 7:54 pm
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.
April 1, 2008 at 5:29 am
i was watching a preview of MLB 08 and it included Kosuke Fukudome even though i beleive he was not a part of MLBPA. Whats up with that?
April 1, 2008 at 5:43 am
he played his fist game yerterday
April 1, 2008 at 6:28 am
[quote comment="16571"]he played his fist game yerterday[/quote]
He’ll be in the next update then.

Pasta,
Any news from Sony on downloadable content for The Show, such as classic teams, stadiums and extra uniforms???
April 1, 2008 at 12:23 pm
So much for opening day rosters for 2K sports. It’s also been what, three weeks, since we were promised an update “shortly”. This is getting ****ing ridiculous. Xbox 360 users can’t even play the only baseball game avaible to us on opening day because 2K put out such a piece of **** garbage game. The thing that makes me so mad is that every word that Ben Brinkman has said publically has been a lie for two straight years now. The game does not run smoothly at all Ben, which I’m sure you new about while you were being interviewed. It’s not the most realistic baseball game out there Ben, because baseball games do not include five to eight home runs PER GAME! Also, 2k, if you are a sane person than the word “shortly” does not mean three to five friggin weeks. I’d be more okay with the update taking a while if you had just come out and said THAT IT IS GOING TO TAKE A WHILE, and not lied to us, AGAIN! I hope 2K sports goes out of business so 360 users don’t have to put up with Brinkman and the company’s crap anymore…it’s absolutely absurd. Anyways keep us updated Pasta, appreciate the info.

Ha yeah its a big mess after their mods irresponsibly announced it was coming and then that it was out in the official forum. Now they’re blaming MS (sounds familiar considering they did the same with the demo lol). I hope for their sake its out before their big online weekend begins tomorrow. As to knowing when it’ll come for sure, I don’t think anyone can say.
April 3, 2008 at 2:31 pm
MLB 2k8 Patch will be available tonight or in the early hours of tomorrow, which will be most probable.
April 3, 2008 at 5:03 pm
Thanks Pasta appreciate the update.
April 3, 2008 at 6:26 pm
Why does everyone insist on complaining about the “stupidity” of being locked in with the roster from the start of your franchise? YOUR ROSTERS ARE GOING TO ALL CHANGE AFTER ONE SEASON ANYWAY! That’s the POINT of franchise, is to make your own fantasy moves and run the team how YOU see fit, not “mirror every move in the real world.”
April 4, 2008 at 11:40 am
Could we have a place to post these updates as they come out? Seems as though tons of us cannot get online with this game (the freezing Belkin bug) and would like the new rosters. How do we go about updating the rosters then? Burn them to CD and run a file? Thanks for any help.
