How to Update PS2 Game Rosters Using an USB

Some games for the PS2, such as a football game, allow you to play actual players from professional rosters. The rosters change every year as the teams trade players or get new recruits. You can keep up with the changes by updating your game rosters. Download the roster update to your computer and then save it to a memory card by using a Max Drive with a USB cable. The Max Drive is formatted to save and store PS2 save files and updates for your sports games.

Instructions

- 1
  Download the roster update. Unzip the folder with the WinRAR program.
