by 
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.

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

Question for Pasta,
Is Fukudome included in this update? and how significant is the missing equipment? I’m kind of anxious to start my franchise.
April 7, 2008 at 12:07 pm
What happened to Juan Pierre? Did he get injured or did he just loose his job?
April 7, 2008 at 1:08 pm
April 07 and still no Fukudome i cant believe this is happening. Where is the roster updates for the ps2 and psp? Fukudommmmmmmmmmmmmme!!!!!!
April 7, 2008 at 1:12 pm
message to mlb the show 08! if i don’t get my fukudome by 6:00 pm eastern standard time i’m have no choice but to go to mlb2k8. no Fukudome no me!!!!
April 7, 2008 at 1:17 pm
I have PS2 and there is no update available yet for April 7th. When is it supposed to be released? I just tried it at 1:15pm Pacific Time.
April 7, 2008 at 1:22 pm
6:00 pm eastern time jason it would be 3:00 for you let the count down begin. no fukudome no me mlb2k8 here i come and i’m bringing backup!!!!!!
April 7, 2008 at 1:30 pm
what is up with fukudome? why istnt he in the game
April 7, 2008 at 1:40 pm
Fukudome is in the game in the original roster as Tom Jung…he’s not in the updates so I got all his stats from the original roster and create him myself into the update file. Same goes for Yasuhiko Yabuta on the Royals.
April 7, 2008 at 1:52 pm
oh and Juan Pierre is a backup this season…Ethier has been starting instead
April 7, 2008 at 1:54 pm
Umm i have no idea what some of you are talking about…I got the update at 10am EST and uhh theres Mr Fukudome On the Cubs…so alot of you must not be seeing the same thing i am He Listed as a Rookie 30yrs old Bats Left Throws Right…and his salary is 390,243…Sooo umm yea i dont know what you guys are seeing or not seeing for that matter
April 7, 2008 at 1:56 pm
you must have PS3 then cause it’s not out yet for PS2
April 7, 2008 at 1:58 pm
Boski
So you say that the cubs have Fukudome right. SO who do they have in the outfield? Is Murton in the bench.
April 7, 2008 at 1:58 pm
there is still no new roster update for the ps2 though so there’s no Alexei RamÃrez from the white sox just a bunch of players like Tom Jung in the game instead of the actual rookies and foreign born players not in the MLBPA.
April 7, 2008 at 2:07 pm
Dany you know you can move the players yourself right? Murton should be on the inactive roster.
April 7, 2008 at 2:15 pm
Jason
yes i do know that. when will you be able to update your roster and have the rookies like Fukudome.
April 7, 2008 at 2:15 pm
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. MLB the Show 08 is the only opposition for MLB 2K8, the game made by 2K Sports. Therefore, we will back MLB the Show here on this EA website.
April 7, 2008 at 2:23 pm
June said it’ll be at 6:00pm Eastern so fingers crossed.

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.

I’ll Be honest with you..i havent played as the cubs…so i cant answer that ques on his speed…But yes he is in the roster update i posted it cus people were saying there were no updates and no fukudome i was playing the game already and Double checked..as far as his name being said..prob not since he wasent part of the MLBPA means hes just added..so it’ll be like a created player

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
April 7, 2008 at 2:58 pm
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.
April 7, 2008 at 2:59 pm
It is annoying but everyone’s been waiting for this update for the new players being added.

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.
April 7, 2008 at 4:02 pm
Well it’s 4:00pm Pacific and still no PS2 roster update…
April 7, 2008 at 4:41 pm
For PS3 and PSP roster updates, email me.

April 7, 2008 at 4:43 pm
6:45pm central and no psp update…

To clarify, I don’t have the PSP update either. When it comes out though, I’ll be more than happy to distribute it.
April 7, 2008 at 5:13 pm
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.
April 7, 2008 at 5:27 pm
is there somewhere i can download the rosters from my computer for ps3?
April 7, 2008 at 6:44 pm
sorry to be a noob but I just bought my ps3 today. how do I download the roster update?
April 7, 2008 at 7:58 pm
Yawn — how about a patch that fixes fatigue in Franchise mode so that mode is actually playable?
April 7, 2008 at 10:11 pm
I like Franchise mode but I don’t usually play the games. My favorite part is the offseason with the drafts and all.
April 8, 2008 at 12:10 pm
pastapadre any word on the roster update for PS2? if it’s coming out sometime or not till next week?
April 8, 2008 at 1:30 pm
there is still no fukudome in the roster update for ps2 what is going on.
April 8, 2008 at 3:15 pm
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.

April 8, 2008 at 3:16 pm
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!!!
April 8, 2008 at 9:47 pm
Could someone email the roster update to me at bpayne@nwciowa.edu. Thanks
April 9, 2008 at 2:03 pm
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.
April 9, 2008 at 2:23 pm
Sweet, thanks for posting the download link, Pasta. I’ve sent out the last two roster updates via email over 100 times!
April 9, 2008 at 3:25 pm
Can Someone send me the PSP update at,
Reelbigbruno@yahoo.com
Thanks.
April 9, 2008 at 9:30 pm
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?
April 10, 2008 at 11:07 am
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.
April 10, 2008 at 1:21 pm
I don’t know why anybody would care about fuckyoudome. Where is Johnny Cueto for the reds????
April 10, 2008 at 2:34 pm
Fukudome is the Man.
If you want talk talk about someone else.
Talk about someone else.
April 10, 2008 at 4:19 pm
Johnny Cueto! Hell yes. The next Pedro!
April 10, 2008 at 5:32 pm
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.
April 10, 2008 at 7:41 pm
That was the stupidest comment ever. Cueto is foreign from the Dominican Republic. Guess he can’t be ROY.
April 11, 2008 at 11:57 am
We want Fukodome because we have to keep playing with Matt f—ing Murton.
April 11, 2008 at 1:49 pm
[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.
