    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.
  • John
    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?

    Wow.....pardon my typos...

    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!!!

    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.

    +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.[/quote]

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

    "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."


    Thanks man

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

    [quote comment="22359"]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.[/quote]

    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.

    [quote comment="22297"]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![/quote]

    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.

    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.

  • Sean
    what about A-ROD
  • Frank
    Is there anyway to see every player movement for the week or does it only show the top 10 major moves?
  • Frank
    Is Nick Evans on the Mets in this update. His debut was I think Friday or Saturday.
  • Seth
    thanks for the input, and Maza is a cool guy, i remember watching him in the minors in Rochester
  • Adrian
    they also need to put luis maza
  • Ramen Padre
    Kershaw's not in this update....
  • Seth
    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
