MLB 08: The Show roster update 4/7

April 7, 2008 by pastapadre 

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.

RP Rudy Seanez moved from Free Agent to Phillies Relief.
SP Woody Williams moved from Astros Starting to Free Agent.
SP Chris Sampson moved from Astros Relief to Astros Starting.
3B Scott Spiezio moved from Free Agent to Braves Minors.
CF Tony Gwynn Jr moved from Brewers Bench to Brewers Position.
LF Juan Pierre moved from Dodgers Position to Dodgers Bench.
LF Andre Ethier moved from Dodgers Bench to Dodgers Position.
LF Jay Payton moved from Orioles Bench to Orioles Position.
CF Brady Clark moved from No Team to Mets Bench.
RP Cha Seung Baek moved from Mariners Minors to Mariners Relief.
SS Mike Morse moved from Mariners Minors to Mariners Bench.
RP Aaron Fultz moved from Indians Minors to Tigers Minors.
SP Kei Igawa moved from Yankees Relief to Yankees Minors.
RF Trot Nixon moved from D’backs Position to D’backs Minors.
DH Jeff Salazar moved from D’backs Bench to D’backs Position.
SP Tim Stauffer moved from Padres Relief to Padres Minors.
CF Jim Edmonds moved from Padres Position to Padres Minors.

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

If you do not have the ability to take your PS3 online you can download the file directly from this link and transfer it from your PC to your PS3.

    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.

  3. Alex on April 7th, 2008 12:07 pm Quote

    What happened to Juan Pierre? Did he get injured or did he just loose his job?

  4. june on April 7th, 2008 1:08 pm Quote

    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.

  7. june on April 7th, 2008 1:22 pm Quote

    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!!!!!!

  8. Dany on April 7th, 2008 1:30 pm Quote

    what is up with fukudome? why istnt he in the game

  9. Jason on April 7th, 2008 1:40 pm Quote

    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.

  10. Jason on April 7th, 2008 1:52 pm Quote

    oh and Juan Pierre is a backup this season…Ethier has been starting instead

  11. Boski on April 7th, 2008 1:54 pm Quote

    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

  12. Jason on April 7th, 2008 1:56 pm Quote

    you must have PS3 then cause it’s not out yet for PS2

  13. Dany on April 7th, 2008 1:58 pm Quote

    Boski
    So you say that the cubs have Fukudome right. SO who do they have in the outfield? Is Murton in the bench.

  14. june on April 7th, 2008 1:58 pm Quote

    there is still no new roster update for the ps2 though so there’s no Alexei Ramírez 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.

  15. Jason on April 7th, 2008 2:07 pm Quote

    Dany you know you can move the players yourself right? Murton should be on the inactive roster.

  16. Dany on April 7th, 2008 2:15 pm Quote

    Jason
    yes i do know that. when will you be able to update your roster and have the rookies like Fukudome.

  17. The Saint on April 7th, 2008 2:15 pm Quote

    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.

  18. Jason on April 7th, 2008 2:23 pm Quote

    June said it’ll be at 6:00pm Eastern so fingers crossed.

  19. Dany on April 7th, 2008 2:34 pm Quote

    Boski
    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

  22. SeaTownSwag on April 7th, 2008 2:58 pm Quote

    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.

  23. Jason on April 7th, 2008 2:59 pm Quote

    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.

  25. Jason on April 7th, 2008 4:02 pm Quote

    Well it’s 4:00pm Pacific and still no PS2 roster 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.

    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.

  30. gocubs1111 on April 7th, 2008 5:27 pm Quote

    is there somewhere i can download the rosters from my computer for ps3?

  31. Gavin on April 7th, 2008 6:44 pm Quote

    sorry to be a noob but I just bought my ps3 today. how do I download the roster update?

  32. jlukes on April 7th, 2008 7:58 pm Quote

    Yawn — how about a patch that fixes fatigue in Franchise mode so that mode is actually playable?

  33. Jason on April 7th, 2008 10:11 pm Quote

    I like Franchise mode but I don’t usually play the games. My favorite part is the offseason with the drafts and all.

    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!!!

  39. mariners51 on April 8th, 2008 9:47 pm Quote

    Could someone email the roster update to me at bpayne@nwciowa.edu. Thanks

  40. Brian on April 9th, 2008 2:03 pm Quote

    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.

  41. nyr2k2 on April 9th, 2008 2:23 pm Quote

    Sweet, thanks for posting the download link, Pasta. I’ve sent out the last two roster updates via email over 100 times!

  42. Bruno on April 9th, 2008 3:25 pm Quote

    Can Someone send me the PSP update at,

    Reelbigbruno@yahoo.com

    Thanks.

  43. Mike on April 9th, 2008 9:30 pm Quote

    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?

  44. Adam on April 10th, 2008 11:07 am Quote

    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.

  45. jim on April 10th, 2008 1:21 pm Quote

    I don’t know why anybody would care about fuckyoudome. Where is Johnny Cueto for the reds????

  46. Bruno on April 10th, 2008 2:34 pm Quote

    Fukudome is the Man.

    If you want talk talk about someone else.

    Talk about someone else.

  47. Ryan on April 10th, 2008 4:19 pm Quote

    Johnny Cueto! Hell yes. The next Pedro!

  48. Adam on April 10th, 2008 5:32 pm Quote

    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.

  49. Jason on April 10th, 2008 7:41 pm Quote

    That was the stupidest comment ever. Cueto is foreign from the Dominican Republic. Guess he can’t be ROY.

  50. Evan on April 11th, 2008 11:57 am Quote

    We want Fukodome because we have to keep playing with Matt f—ing Murton.

    Clearly, Paul meant players that played professionaly averseas. I.e. Ichiro, Nomo, Matsui, Orlando/Livan Hernandez, etc.

  52. Jason on April 11th, 2008 3:02 pm Quote

    I see nothing wrong with the best players around the world wanting to play in the best baseball league. Our seasons are quite a bit different than Japan’s that Fukudome should be a rookie here. Look at how bad Matsuzaka ended up last year when he wore out. He started the season superb. Our seasons are longer and more grueling. Fukudome is starting out great but he might end the same way. Oh another question though. How do you pronounce Cueto? Is it like sway-toe or kway-toe?

  53. Tyler on April 12th, 2008 9:32 am Quote

    Does any one know is Johhny Cuento is on the updates yet from the Reds

  54. Jason on April 12th, 2008 12:05 pm Quote

    I believe I heard he is…so far only name I’ve heard missing is DeWitt from the Dodgers

  55. cochrane626 on April 12th, 2008 3:02 pm Quote

    I’ve just downloaded the updated roster for PSP for 4/07 and can’t find Fukodome. Is he on it?

  56. Jason on April 12th, 2008 11:20 pm Quote

    Fukudome is definitely in it. Didn’t think PSP had an update yet though.

  57. cochrane626 on April 12th, 2008 11:52 pm Quote

    Ah, yeah, I looked at the one I downloaded and it seems to still be the 3/31 update. So PSP hasn’t been updated yet.

  58. Jon on May 2nd, 2008 5:18 am Quote

    My network adapter is not working and I can’t download the updated rosters. All I really want is the player attributes for Nelson Figueroa so I can create him as a player. Anyone willing to post it for me?
