Once the teams set their opening day rosters and send their guys to the minors, is there going to be AA and AAA rosters done for each team this year? Thanks for any info.

Pasta I'm new to MLB the Show so how often can we expect roster updates?
March 10, 2009 at 5:43 am
Every Monday till the end of the World Series.
March 10, 2009 at 3:34 am
like josh im new to the show scene and am wondering if they update any of the minor league names. for instance colby rasmus isn't on the roster as well as various other top prospects like jason heyward and tommy hanson of the braves. do they need to make an appearance in the majors to show up or how does that work beyond just creating them?
March 10, 2009 at 5:41 am
They will update them as soon as they have one game in the majors.
It is the MLBPA rules where they cant be used until then.
March 10, 2009 at 4:06 am
Appreciate it once again Pasta. Nice

Question? how do i transfer the roster file from my laptop to my ps3 once i download it I NEED HELP
June 21, 2009 at 5:33 am
first you need a flashdrive. Then you send the file to your flasgdrive. Then coonecy your flahdrive to the ps3 then press triangle on the usb where it will be under games on ur ps3 then copy the file to your ps3.
March 10, 2009 at 10:09 am
put the folder you extract from his save in the the following directory on your memory stick/card:
PS3/SAVEDATA
The Ps3 will be able to read it now.
March 10, 2009 at 10:17 am
do a have to buys this memory/stickcard
March 10, 2009 at 5:51 pm
You just need a USB storage device. Put the file on the USB device, plug it into the PS3, copy the file.
March 10, 2009 at 10:43 am
Doesn't it get annoying answering the same question two times in a row?
March 10, 2009 at 11:23 am
nice, now i can start my franchise with some close to opening day rosters
thanks pasta
March 10, 2009 at 12:30 pm
I'm new to The Show. How do I use the new roster update for my current season? Do I have to start the season over every week? HELP!!!
March 13, 2009 at 3:37 pm
Does anyone know the answer to this?
March 20, 2009 at 8:20 pm
Dude you know damn well the roster update is not going to update your in-season rosters, not game does that man shit
March 10, 2009 at 1:31 pm
Hey pasta, I have a cruzer micro flash drive. I've uploaded the 3/9 roster update to the flash drive. When I plug it in to the PS3 it is not recognizing that the file is there. Am I doing something wrong?
March 10, 2009 at 5:56 pm
On the drive, create a folder that says "PS3". Inside that, a folder called "SAVEDATA". Inside that, drop the "BCUS" folder that you get from unzipping the file you downloaded from Pasta's site.
Then put the device in the PS3. Go to GAME, SAVED DATA UTILITY, USB MEMORY DEVICE (or something similar), highlight the data, press TRIANGLE, click "Copy". Bang, done.
Hope that's right, been a while since I last did that.
March 10, 2009 at 1:43 pm
Did anyone else get a software update for The Show yesterday? Any idea what that was about?
March 10, 2009 at 3:07 pm
this game sucks !!!! I can't believe you can't play any other game on the schedule besides yours, in franchise or season modes I like to have complete control of my franchise . WELL LOOKS LIKE I'LL BE GETTING 2K9 INSTEAD
March 10, 2009 at 3:36 pm
Good luck with that. LOL. 2k9 blows.
March 10, 2009 at 6:29 pm
Just select every team during the season / franchise set up. This will allow the choice of playing of simming each game as you like.
March 11, 2009 at 2:34 pm
ARE YOU SERIOUS YOU CAN!!!
March 11, 2009 at 9:11 pm
hey, you can play any teams games on any day in 09 the show in franchise and season. all you have to do is select view todays games and then select the game to play.
March 10, 2009 at 3:13 pm
I understand that there's an agreement with MLB and that only players that are in the players association are actually in the game, hence why they have to play a game in the majors first(hence why Barry Bonds and a guy like Kevin Miller isn't in the game) what I was wondering is there anyone that will make authentic minor league rosters this year and we don't have to use these updates. Not every minor leaguer is gonna get a game in the majors, yet Id still like to have a real minor league roster. Just a question, if not just wondering.
March 10, 2009 at 3:58 pm
@Barry Bonds, Kevin Millar is not a part of the players association due to the fact he played during the 94 strike season. Any player who plays when the union were striking is no longer a part of the mlbpa.
March 10, 2009 at 4:02 pm
I know..thats why he's not in the MLBPA, which is what I basically said. Barry Bonds refused to be part of MLBPA.
March 10, 2009 at 4:05 pm
so basicially u were answering ur owe question.
March 10, 2009 at 4:07 pm
i don't understand y ur here if u don't like THE SHOW 09, get ova to the whack @$$ 2k forum.
March 10, 2009 at 4:09 pm
that's word to my daughter i deleted that 2k demo as fast i downloaded it. POOR EXCUSE FOR A BASEBALL GM.
March 10, 2009 at 4:13 pm
umm. no. My question was, is anyone gonna make real rosters, including AA and AAA rosters. I wasnt asking about those guys specifically. I want the real AA and AAA rosters. Not just an update from Sony. Didnt think it was that complicated of a question.
March 10, 2009 at 4:48 pm
pasta do you know why no game meaning the show or 2k included the world baseball classic teams for a tournament type play as i recall 2k6 did included when it was that year.
March 10, 2009 at 5:59 pm
2k has the exclusive rights for the WBC.
March 10, 2009 at 6:31 pm
If 2K has the exclusive rights to the WBC, that would sound about right….WBC by 2K = Whack Baseball on Consoles
March 11, 2009 at 2:20 am
good question? i was thinking the same.
March 10, 2009 at 4:50 pm
well then if that indeed is ur question than tha answer is no here. i don't have enough free time. i had tha gm goin on 2wks friday and my record is 11-6. wats tha big deal to u having tha AAA n AA roster from tha jump? must no b an online player.
March 10, 2009 at 4:50 pm
*not
March 10, 2009 at 5:40 pm
I have not seen the answer for what the version update did for MLB09. Also, the instructions indicate that when a runner is on 2nd, the pitcher can "pan" back to 2nd by using the right joystick in the down position or by using the down control on the pad. I have tried this several times and the pitcher does NOT pan. Has anyone figured this out? Thanks in advance.
March 10, 2009 at 5:50 pm
Not an officially released roster update. Knight and Co. from OS do the full minor league rosters and then some. That's a month or two off though.
March 10, 2009 at 6:23 pm
Thank you. I love this site but if I can get what I want from somewhere else its good to know. Thanks for the info. Pasta still rocks the update info world.
March 10, 2009 at 6:44 pm
You have to pull back on the right thumb stick. The cam will pull back and widen so you can see the runner on second base….
You can actually do this with no one on base to test it out….
March 10, 2009 at 7:38 pm
I must be doing something wrong because I tried that. I treid it before I chose my pitch and after I chose my pitch and I get nothing. When you say, "pull back," I assume you mean in the down position, correct? Towards you … Were you able to use the directional button as well, since the instructions indicate either/or?
Were you able to figure out what the patch was for?
March 11, 2009 at 4:56 am
tried it again this evening and it is not working … do you have to do it at a certain time? have a certain difficulty setting? hold down another button? all I did was before the pitch, pulled back on the right thumb stick … nothing happened so I pushed in on the right thumb stick and then back … nothing … then I tried it after I selected my pitch … still no panning back to 2b … ? Sorry to still be stuck on this issue, but I think that is a great part of the game, especially when playing against someone else.
March 10, 2009 at 7:32 pm
And yet they didnt include it in their game either.
Shit eatin license squatters.
March 10, 2009 at 9:51 pm
Is there something I'm missing or I must do before downloading the file. It is coming up as a .rar file not a .zip file. It was like this on the first update too. I know how to get a Zip file upload on to my PS but I can't figure this out.
March 10, 2009 at 10:20 pm
Yea Ive been trying to find out what the patch did as well. Anyone know?
March 10, 2009 at 11:11 pm
Hey Pasta, does this update that you just linked to (if we download it), include the moves from last week as well? That file didn't download for me so just wondering.
March 10, 2009 at 11:47 pm
I just used it and it does have everything from before and the new moves.
March 10, 2009 at 11:48 pm
unzip it on your computer into a folder called ps3 (there are like 7 or so files in it) then put that on your flash drive and transfer it onto the ps3.
March 11, 2009 at 3:27 am
I know how to do that. What I'm saying its not showing as a zip file before I download it and its not downloading as a zip file. I know what a zip file is and its slowing and downloading as a .rar file which is 1 file not a file zipped up with more files in it. I've tried downloading it on 2 different computers and also tried changing the extension form .rar to .zip and nether works. I didn't figure changing the ext. would. Am I suppose to sign up or do something I'm not to download it.
March 11, 2009 at 1:18 pm
WinRAR. It's a program that functions the same as WinZip, and can even handle ZIP files. It's a quick, free download. Better and more functional than WinZip as well, so it's worth your time downloading it.
March 11, 2009 at 6:11 pm
That worked. Thanks.
March 11, 2009 at 12:49 am
Does anyone know what the new patch did?
March 11, 2009 at 1:19 pm
The roster updates are cumulative. A roster update released one month from now will have all of the moves and players from the update released two days ago.
March 11, 2009 at 4:31 pm
I just recently downloaded a .rar file and I had to Google how to open it. There is a free downloadable program called WinRAR that will extract the files you need. I'm sure there are thousands of programs similar to this (and you may need separate programs for a mac or PC) I'm not sure if there is an easier way without downloading another program, but it worked for me on this application.
March 11, 2009 at 6:28 pm
Is there a way to use a new roster update in the middle of the season or do you have to start the season over in order to use the new moves?
March 14, 2009 at 8:15 pm
if you want all prospects go online and use the roster vault and download the one with description that says i have 240 prospects its really good!
March 17, 2009 at 1:15 am
is pasta gonna post updates every week? i cant go on the psn does anyone know another reliable way to get rosters?
March 17, 2009 at 12:48 pm
I am still unable to get the pitcher to pan back to second. I tried pulling back on the right thumbstick/joystick, but nothing happens. I have also yet to see an answer as to what the recent patch did. Can someone answer/instruct on both of these? I have the dualshock, so not sure if that is the reason I am unable to pan back, but I can't imagine why that would matter. Do I need to be playing at a certain level (amateur, veteran, etc.)?
March 17, 2009 at 9:01 pm
Does anyone how know i how poor fellow can get roster updates on the ps2 console? Besides, um, manually. Thanks.
March 19, 2009 at 12:51 am
How do you make the NL have DHs in franchise mode.
March 20, 2009 at 8:19 pm
Dude can you not fucking read
March 20, 2009 at 8:21 pm
Idiot
March 21, 2009 at 10:14 pm
Just stumbled upon the site. I've got The Show 09 for PS2, and I was wondering: I use the Phillies, and they made a trade in December, sending Greg Golson to Texas for John Mayberry Jr. Golson is on the Rangers roster, but I don't see Mayberry on the Phillies roster. Why not?
March 22, 2009 at 5:24 pm
prospects wont be named until they play an mlb game in real life? like elvis andrus of the rangers
March 24, 2009 at 11:05 pm
Why sports connect system rosters- players account,do not have inactive players on there mlb teams.Why don,thay have players like brad eldred,chris duffy,andrew McCutchen.They should put them on the free agents list.They should have more free agents on the list.
March 29, 2009 at 5:08 pm
Pasta, I haven't seen an update every Monday like you have mentioned before. Not a big deal because I still suck at the game and I am still playing in the Spring games. Will you be placing more frequent updates on here once the season starts?
March 30, 2009 at 8:09 pm
Hey Pasta. How come with the roster updates, a lot of players career stats get all messed up. It's got Griffey with 242 career hrs. Just doesn't make sense. Will this keep on happening with all the updates during the season???
April 5, 2009 at 5:28 am
where the junk is Pedro Alvarez or any other rookie
November 12, 2009 at 4:51 pm
If you're not connected to PS Network, how do you install the updates on your PS3
