im having the exact same problem using the royals once i advance to season the computer wants to send bruce chen and luis mendoza to waivers. i use the cardinals too and once you advance to season freese carpenter and furcal are in the lineup. whats the point of a roster update if i cant play a franchise or a season?
i havent been able to start a season and at this point it looks unlikely i ever will. someone said i might have lineups and rotation set to auto. i cant even find the option to change that anywhere.

i have everything set to manual and it doesnt seem to matter . i even tried controlling every team as soon as i advance to regular season it wants to send players to waivers i put in lineup to replace players injured or on disabled list in real life. i didnt have this problem last year.

do i have to play the spring training games? i will if i have to of course that would be worse if i did all that and it still does what its doing now when i advance to regular season , which i suspect is the case. if all my modes are on manual how can the computer still set the rotation when i advance to regular season? it doesnt make any sense to me andf i cannot for the life of me figuring on what im doing wrong. oh well im going to bed im sure there are a few intelligent posters that will have the answer and its probably fairly obvious whatever it is.

It takes a few days for the players photos to actually show up. For example for the first few days Elliot Johnson had a blank space for his photo. I fired the game up today and his photo showed up with the KC hat. Same goes for a few Astros players as well. Had the same thing happen with Ronny Cedeno and Chris Carter. Vernon Wells' photo also showed up today as well.

heres a thought its fairly obvious to me now. use the default rosters advance to regular season then do the roster update. im not sure that will work but its worth trying. im going to try it this afternoon when i get home.

So I decided not to download the updated roster as first, but now I wish to download them.

Question is, where do I find the updated rosters to download?

I've poked around the menus but can't seem to find them.

Suggestions?

This is my 1st post on here and I signed up just to hopefully find an answer to my question so any help will be greatly appreciated, is it possible to get a roster update living in ireland, i've been playing mlb the show since 09 and have always been able to get roster updates until towards the end of last season, the code for online features doesn't work either

Did you order the game from the US/CAN or buy it online through the PSN store for download?
