is Kershaw in this one, or does a Sunday debut make it too late for the cutoff, he is really one of the last players I have been waiting to debut. And hopefully they got Scherzer in this one as well
May 26, 2008 at 4:40 pm
Kershaw’s not in this update….
May 26, 2008 at 4:56 pm
they also need to put luis maza
May 26, 2008 at 6:02 pm
thanks for the input, and Maza is a cool guy, i remember watching him in the minors in Rochester

Is Nick Evans on the Mets in this update. His debut was I think Friday or Saturday.

Is there anyway to see every player movement for the week or does it only show the top 10 major moves?

I saw that someone provided some instructions some time ago for saving roster updates to a USB drive and then transferring them to the PS3. I’ve tried to use the USB drive approach, but have not had any luck getting it to work. Does anyone have the right instructions on how to save the update and successfully transfer it to the PS3 (i.e., where do you go on the PS3 to have it read the file, etc)? Final question…will the current roster update get me “up-to-date” on all the other roster updates to this point? Thanks!

I never did the USB thing but as far as the up-to-date question, of course. All of the transactions made this year will be in the most recent update.

Download the roster update from this site and unzip the file. You’ll be left with the “BCUS91 etc” folder. Somewhere on your desktop, create a folder titled “PS3″. Inside that folder, create a new folder titled “SAVEDATA”. It must be in caps! Drop the “BCUS” folder into the “SAVEDATA” folder and then move that to your USB drive.
Fire up the PS3 and pop in the USB drive. Under “Game” in the XMB, scroll up to “Saved Data Utility”. Then choose “USB Storage Device” or whatever the PS3 calls your USB drive. Then highlight the roster file, hit the Triangle button, and then choose “Copy”. It will then transfer the roster from your USB to your PS3 HD.
Start the game up and load up the roster file.
To answer your question: Yes, this file will get you up-to-date on all the changes so far.

To clarify, drop the BCUS folder into the SAVEDATA folder, and then move the entire PS3 folder and all the contents onto the USB drive.

Thanks for all the input on making the roster transfer via a USB drive – I’ll give it a try tonight!

Turn on your PS3 and connect to the PlayStation Network. Start up The Show and connect to Sports Connect. After the introductory messages, you’ll be asked “Do you want to save online rosters for later use?” or something very similar. Choose yes, save the rosters, and then there you go.
And to answer your question: the latest roster update always encompasses all of the previous updates. So this new update includes all of the older updates as well.

+1. he’s going to push griffey out once he hits#600. I thinks the Reds will start to look at moving him. Seattle could be a big possibility.

I really think griffey should hit #600 in seattle so he can finish where he started and where he hit his first homerun.

Got mlb 08 the show.. took a long time cuz i thought i was gonna be able to get ps3 but i didnt (gotta wait till next year) long story…. but I have the FAT old ps2 that is working %100 and I need an updated roster… DOES ANYONE HAVE THE MOST UP TO DATE ROSTER THEY COULD EMAIL TO ME???–mattbubb@aol.com
I dont care if it is from begging of season or now.. Which roster would be best to start with??? now or opening day??
June 23, 2008 at 2:46 pm
You can go to the MLB 08 website, find sportsconnect, and sign in from there. I think you can then download the new roster. I have only played online twice because of lag, so I don’t even remember my SC sign in as my PS3 isn’t online anymore. So I am simply guessing that you can download the new roster there.
I am really hoping that they went the extra mile and included the new draft prospects.
June 24, 2008 at 2:26 pm
I have a question rather than a comment…although I will say, this is a great site and the updates make the gaming experirnce more realistic and adds to the fun…Ok, my question…Do the MLB08 roster updates include Minor Leagure platers as well as the MLB players? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much!!!

Wow…..pardon my typos…
June 28, 2008 at 5:30 pm
I cant get the rosters becaise when I go to switch them to the PSP they come up as Corrept data. Can somone help me?
June 30, 2008 at 4:11 pm
Are there any new roster updates? Seems like there hasn’t been one for awhile. I can’t connect to the Internet with my PS3, so the only way I get to update my roster is by downloading them here and transfering the files to my ps3.
