Don’t really have a set date to look for it from them. Best guess would be sometime this week, possibly next week.

Thanks Pasta, appreciate the info…This is getting ridiculous though. I mean first they say opening day, then they say the same day as the patch, they just keep lying to us. I’m going to be really upset if I wait all this time and there aren’t more player pictures in the update, which is why I’m waiting to start my franchise is the first place. Something just really bothers me about those generic faces. I really hope it’s this week. Anyways thanks again for keeping us up to date on the situation Pasta.

I haven’t done it this way so I’m not sure the exact process. But did you extract from the zip file first or are you just trying to transfer over the zip file. I’d guess that you would want to take the extracted file over.

Thank for your input.

Ya, I tried both ways… it’s not showing up. I’ll try to figure something out.

You should have a folder titled “PS3″. Inside of that folder, you should have a folder titled “SAVEDATA”. Inside that, you should have a folder titled “BCUSxxxx” or something along those lines. Make sure you have your folders structured that way. If you don’t have the folder setup EXACTLY as I typed, it won’t work.

Copy the folder “PS3″ (with all the other stuff inside) to your flash drive, pop in in the PS3 and start the system. Under “Game” choose “Saved Data Utility”. Scroll up until you see “USB Data Device” or whatever your flash drive is called by the PS3. Highlight the roster file, then hit triangle. Choose “Copy”. The save will then be copied to your HD. From there, load it up in the game.

I checked out the download, and it’s just the “BCUSxxxxxxx” roster file folder. So for anyone that’s confused, again: create a folder titled “PS3″ (all caps). Inside that, create a folder titled “SAVEDATA”. Inside that, drop the BCUS folder. Then follow what I said above.

is there a list of the full update available?

I’ve downloaded it multiple times, however, what I get is the zip file “April 14th roster update”. After I unzip that I only have the “BCUS…”. Basically, I don’t have the PS3 folder you mentioned.

Thank you for your help.

Uhh, they never said the roster would be out by Opening Day. They said a couple weeks after. If they would’ve released it on Opening Day, then they couldn’t have added some of the new guys who hadn’t batted in the MLB yet. A player has to bat atleast once in the MLB in order to be an official player.

Ben Brinkman said in a conference call back in February that roster updates would be provided “as needed” as well as opening day.

Yea, you are wrong, but good try. Everyone knows they said the roster would be released on opening day…hence everyone is waiting for the “opening day roster”, but thanks for playing.

Longoria isn’t in the update,but he should be. He was born in my town and we grew up together. He made his debut on saturday and smacked his first homer today versus the yanks.Don’t understand why hes not in this week!He’s the top rookie and future all-star!

If you check the 2K forums, no one was expecting the roster updates on opening day because of the reason I said above: new player names/pics couldn’t be added that early. So “everyone” was not expecting it.

Well, I can’t speak for the people on the 2k forums since I don’t post there, but people here and many other places were expecting an opening day (or thereabout) roster, since Brinkman said as much. An update two days after opening day (when everyone had played) would have been terrific.

Jeffy777 you are making zero sense…People are waiting for the “opening day roster”. Why would it be called this if people weren’t expecting it on opening day? After all 2K did say that a roster would be out on opening day. Oh, and I do check the 2K forums. People have been outraged for three and a half weeks because the roster that we were TOLD, get it through your head, TOLD, to expect on opening day has not only not arrived but 2K hasn’t even released a statement regarding when to expect it. Stop defending such a terrible company that is handling this matter in a terrible way. They never, ever, said the “opening day roster” would be out a couple of weeks after opening day. If this was the case i don’t think people would still be asking, “Where is the opening day roster?” Sorry to keep repeating myself by saying “OPENING DAY ROSTER” but you just can’t seem to grasp the fact that 2K announced this before the game even came out. If you are still not getting this try asking yourself why you think people like me are so angry over this situation. Do you think it is because we don’t have a second roster, or could it be that we haven’t recieved a roster that we were promised? Hopefully this post will help you understand, but seeing your comments so far, I doubt it.
