2018-2019 ROSTER - NHL 2K8 (PS3/360) (snowdrift)

[shanenice4987]

I just saw this forum now. Will there be anymore roster updates for NHL 2k8. Im sick of the EA nhl games and I would love to see the 2019-2020 rosters in the game. Just wondering if the interest is still there from the community.

I'm not making rosters anymore myself, but the post right before yours links 2019-20 rosters made by austrianredwing for the XBox 360. If you're on PS3, you can use the editor to convert the save file.

I used the editor to convert xbox save file for my ps3 and rosters looked great, but it really messed up the equipment colors. Is there any way to fix that? I've been using older rosters now, because those colors did look terrible

My bad, converting for PS3 involves several steps I didn't explain. I converted the file myself, PS3 users download here.

For reference, here's how to convert a roster from XBox 360 to PS3 while avoiding the equipment issue:

1. Load XBox save in editor.
2. Batch -> Spreadsheet Actions -> Export
3. Load PS3 save into editor
4. Batch -> Roster Actions -> Mass Removal -> Empty All Rosters
5. Batch -> Spreadsheet Actions -> Import -> select skaters.csv
6. Batch -> Spreadsheet Actions -> Import -> select goalies.csv
7. Batch -> Roster Actions -> Dress Players -> NHL & Created teams
8. Save your file under the name USR-DATA

You'll probably be warned that you don't have enough playmakers after an import. Due to a bug in 2K8, you can't just create more normally. There is a fix, but it's incredibly tedious: it's explained here.

A faster alternative is to open the exported spreadsheet and convert the lowest-rated Playmakers to Utility players. But keep in mind that player type affects player development in franchise mode.

NHL 2K8 rosters March 24th 2020

This is a new update with another ton of created rookies and some new prospects that signed lately with NHL franchises. I recognized the teams are a little thin on defensemen so I focused on this kind of players but I mentioned some forwards as well.
I hope you guys are doing well in tough times like these and you´re okay. Wish you the very best....Have fun, take care..use Horizon ... yours Sascha the "Austrianredwing"

Vielen dank, Sascha. Stay healthy.

First of all: thanks for the hard work. I noticed the ratings are a little bit off for me. In no universe, Erik Johnson or Gabriel Landeskog should have a higher overall than Nathan MacKinnon :-)

Did I made a mistake or are some ratings not set properly?

You can always change whatever you like.

Generally, with how few people we have helping to make rosters for several different NHL2K games, we don't tend to see it as necessary to point out when we disagree with ratings. Could be seen as rude to criticise the work of others when they've often spent weeks doing something for free.
