How to Install the Madden Roster From a Flash USB to a PS3

Madden NFL is a game series developed by EA Sports. Roster updates are periodically released for Madden games. These updates can be installed on a Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3) via direct download from the Web to the PS3. Alternatively, roster updates can also be downloaded to your computer and transferred to the PS3 via a USB flash drive. To properly transfer the roster update files from the flash drive to the PS3, the roster update files must be saved in a specific way to the flash drive.
