The "Live Roster" that you can use in the exhibition mode only really sets the roster for that game. It still only uses players and ratings from the latest roster (You'll notice some players have the wrong jersey number because they haven't been updated in a roster update yet). The typical roster updates drop on Fridays. Usually you don't get a lot players added until the 2nd Roster update of the season. This Friday's would be too soon for a lot of rookies to be added.

Wow that late. I think I learned going forward not to pay the extra money. They can not even get the rosters right

Most of it is because of the MLBPA rules, not the developers. They can't put players in that they're legally not allowed to use.

Spring Training games do not count towards service time

Sorry .. not Ridin , but I thought I read somewhere that someone else was taking it over this year.

Exactly this. I am back to The Show after a few years off and not making the mistakes of past years. By the time you get done waiting for this update, that roster, this slider set to really get into the game, it's almost football season and time to move on to other things. Would rather just play the game out of the box. It's never going to be perfect even after the updates anyway. There's always the next thing you can wait for.

I wonder how long it takes to get the new players done in the game. Can't they atleast do the leg work for the 75% are sure to be there opening day and push the players in roster update after they played a game in the bigs?

I’ve done out of the box the last few years and it’s much better. Like I said I’ll deal with the CAPs. The Senga one I have is pretty good. Fujinami looks a little weird. I tried to do some edits on it myself and it ended up looking like a gremlin. So cancelled my edits and I’ll just use it as is.
