Okay, so I’ve been playing MLB The Show for a while now, and I’m one of those guys who’s always gotta have the most up-to-date rosters. I mean, who wants to play with outdated teams, right? So, I started digging into how often the game actually updates these things.
My Little Investigation
First, I just started by, you know, playing the game. I noticed some changes here and there, but I wasn’t really tracking it systematically. Then I thought, “Hey, I should probably get a bit more organized about this.”

So, I started paying closer attention. I’d check the rosters before big series, after trades, and whenever I heard about a call-up. What I began to figure out was a bit all over the place
Tracking Down the Updates
- In-Season Updates: During the regular MLB season, I found that they do these “Roster Updates.” I’d see player ratings change, some guys getting moved around. Seems like they are doing it somewhat regularly.
- Major Transactions:I found that whenever there’s a big trade or a free agent signing, the game seemed pretty quick to update. Like, within a day or two, boom, the player’s on the new team.
- Minor League Stuff:It seemed like the game would put in new prospects, or update ratings for minor leaguers but this was less predictable.
My Conclusion (For Now)
So, from what I’ve personally experienced, MLB The Show does update rosters pretty consistently, it’s not a perfect science and it’s hard to pin down an exact schedule. It’s more of a “when it happens, it happens” kind of deal, tied to what’s going on in the real world of baseball. My method is just to pay attention on my own and note the changes.
