    A well deserved boost to Sir Didi. It’s about time he gets some real respect from SDS. One of the best SS in baseball.

        Are these roster updates more for Live and DD?
        Really wish sports games played to ratings!

        MLB 23 FOREVER 20 is better, 23 just for Guardians
        Madden get rid of the extras (SS/XF, HFA, media, scenarios, game plan) or turn them down considerably.

            They are the rosters that you can save to your PS4 and use in offline play now (or start a new franchse/RTTS with), different from the play now daily roster that updates constantly. They are also the rosters used in DD (although the attribute scale is a bit different there since the ratings cap in that mode is 125)

              Yeah but they usually do these every week so he should be in next week.

                And Jedd Gyorko still isn't on the active roster despite being activated like two weeks ago? At least, I went and played with the dailies yesterday and he wasn't there.

                The bullpen had Ryan Sherriff in it, and I don't think it had Luke Gregerson, who, like Gyorko, has been active for 10 days.

                Can't really call them dailies anymore. Heck, can't really call them weeklies.
