This week’s roster update for MLB 08: The Show contains 230 player movements with the ones below having been spotlighted. This is a very significant update as it includes those that have just now become members of the Players Union by making an appearance in their first MLB game.

RP Rudy Seanez moved from Free Agent to Phillies Relief.
SP Woody Williams moved from Astros Starting to Free Agent.
SP Chris Sampson moved from Astros Relief to Astros Starting.
3B Scott Spiezio moved from Free Agent to Braves Minors.
CF Tony Gwynn Jr moved from Brewers Bench to Brewers Position.
LF Juan Pierre moved from Dodgers Position to Dodgers Bench.
LF Andre Ethier moved from Dodgers Bench to Dodgers Position.
LF Jay Payton moved from Orioles Bench to Orioles Position.
CF Brady Clark moved from No Team to Mets Bench.
RP Cha Seung Baek moved from Mariners Minors to Mariners Relief.
SS Mike Morse moved from Mariners Minors to Mariners Bench.
RP Aaron Fultz moved from Indians Minors to Tigers Minors.
SP Kei Igawa moved from Yankees Relief to Yankees Minors.
RF Trot Nixon moved from D’backs Position to D’backs Minors.
DH Jeff Salazar moved from D’backs Bench to D’backs Position.
SP Tim Stauffer moved from Padres Relief to Padres Minors.
CF Jim Edmonds moved from Padres Position to Padres Minors.

It appears that some player equipment has been lost in this update which is an issue they’ll hopefully correct shortly. TJ @ Operation Sports has posted that he is in contact with SCEA and they are working on a fix but an ETA is not yet available. All feedback related to the rosters can be sent to their designated email sceamlbfeedback@gmail.com

If you do not have the ability to take your PS3 online you can download the file directly from this link and transfer it from your PC to your PS3.

stupid question maybe, amature yes, but I have ps3...how do i get these roster updates, dumb it down for me, step by step. Someone please help. also if i can simply download them onto a jumpdrive i can do that too!

Ryan

WILL THIS UPDATE WORK WITH 07 THE SHOW? I am trying to avoid spending money to purchase a new version. I would think there would be an update for it. The new Madden 2009 has a roster update feature which is awesome and should avoid having to buy the new one every year simply for roster changes. I cannot find such an option on 07 The Show. Please let me know my options! Thx!

how do u download the roster on the PSP?

Jon

My network adapter is not working and I can't download the updated rosters. All I really want is the player attributes for Nelson Figueroa so I can create him as a player. Anyone willing to post it for me?

cochrane626

Ah, yeah, I looked at the one I downloaded and it seems to still be the 3/31 update. So PSP hasn't been updated yet.

Jason

Fukudome is definitely in it. Didn't think PSP had an update yet though.

cochrane626

I've just downloaded the updated roster for PSP for 4/07 and can't find Fukodome. Is he on it?

Jason

I believe I heard he is...so far only name I've heard missing is DeWitt from the Dodgers

Tyler

Does any one know is Johhny Cuento is on the updates yet from the Reds

Jason

I see nothing wrong with the best players around the world wanting to play in the best baseball league. Our seasons are quite a bit different than Japan's that Fukudome should be a rookie here. Look at how bad Matsuzaka ended up last year when he wore out. He started the season superb. Our seasons are longer and more grueling. Fukudome is starting out great but he might end the same way. Oh another question though. How do you pronounce Cueto? Is it like sway-toe or kway-toe?

[quote comment="17304"]That was the stupidest comment ever. Cueto is foreign from the Dominican Republic. Guess he can't be ROY.[/quote]

Clearly, Paul meant players that played professionaly averseas. I.e. Ichiro, Nomo, Matsui, Orlando/Livan Hernandez, etc.

Evan

We want Fukodome because we have to keep playing with Matt f---ing Murton.

Jason

That was the stupidest comment ever. Cueto is foreign from the Dominican Republic. Guess he can't be ROY.

Adam

Cueto leads the National League in strikeouts and is only 22 years old. He will be your NL Rookie of the Year not Fukeadummy. Those foreign players shouldn't even be allowed to be rookie of the year, they are all in the late 20s when they get here.

Ryan

Johnny Cueto! Hell yes. The next Pedro!

Bruno

Fukudome is the Man.

If you want talk talk about someone else.

Talk about someone else.

jim

I don't know why anybody would care about fuckyoudome. Where is Johnny Cueto for the reds????

Adam

Why does everyone care so much about Fukudome? Who really cares, what about all the rest of the players not updated yet. Why is Fukudome so importnat, Cubs won't win anything this year anyways even with him.

Mike

Fukudome is in there, but he looks B R O K E. Anyone know whether they'll put some time into creating the character like they did for all the other players, or is he gonna look like my grandma made him?

Bruno

Can Someone send me the PSP update at,

Reelbigbruno@yahoo.com

Thanks.

nyr2k2

Sweet, thanks for posting the download link, Pasta. I've sent out the last two roster updates via email over 100 times!

Brian

I don't have online for ps2 at school, but I'm going home this weekend where I have online. I have been anticipating Fukudome in the game along with many others. If anyone has any idea when the rosters will be updated, let me know. Thanks guys.

mariners51

Could someone email the roster update to me at bpayne@nwciowa.edu. Thanks

june

I think there was a problem with the 4/7 roster update, like pastapadre said earlier. some players equipment was screwed up so they posted it for the ps3, but didn't post it for the ps2 and psp. I think they would probably release it either at the end of the week or maybe wait until next week to release the 4/14 update. Look out Detroit fans your ratings are done!!!

D

I cannot connect wia my wireless to MLB 08 on my PS3 for some stupid reason. can someone please email me the latest roster updates and tell me how to transfer them into the game? thanks.
dvidaurr@hotmail.com

Dany

there is still no fukudome in the roster update for ps2 what is going on.

Jason

pastapadre any word on the roster update for PS2? if it's coming out sometime or not till next week?

Jason

I like Franchise mode but I don't usually play the games. My favorite part is the offseason with the drafts and all.

jlukes

Yawn -- how about a patch that fixes fatigue in Franchise mode so that mode is actually playable?

Gavin

sorry to be a noob but I just bought my ps3 today. how do I download the roster update?

gocubs1111

is there somewhere i can download the rosters from my computer for ps3?

ron

i am able to download from sports connect. i've downloaded the updates before. was just curious as to when it might be available. thanks for your help.

nyr2k2

[quote comment="17109"]For PS3 and PSP roster updates, email me.

nyr2k2@gmail.com[/quote]

To clarify, I don't have the PSP update either. When it comes out though, I'll be more than happy to distribute it.

ron

6:45pm central and no psp update...

nyr2k2

For PS3 and PSP roster updates, email me.

nyr2k2@gmail.com

Jason

Well it's 4:00pm Pacific and still no PS2 roster update...

[quote]I dont know how Sony rolls out the update's but again to reiterate i downloaded it This morning At 10am Eastern Standerd time...and All players were there.....And also i know someone has already asked this ques so im gonna sound like a reptitive ass and ask Pasta What is the Equipment update?? Can u delve more into that[/quote]

According to posts at OS apparently the lost equipment is limited to player wrist bands, forearm bands, and sleeves. Doesnt seem like something a lot of people would even notice but it'll probably just be the next week's update for those things to be fixed.

Jason

It is annoying but everyone's been waiting for this update for the new players being added.

SeaTownSwag

The whole moving injured players to the minors over and over seems annoying every time you get a roster update you have to move your starters back to the majors and adjust all the lineups that seem annoying.

Does fukudome have power and speed in the game? Do they show his picture when he goes up to bat and does REX say his name.[/quote]
