That's a pretty broad question and it depends what kind of roster you're making, but when you make a roster patch you're generally doing the following:

- Editing ratings for better/more realistic player performance
- Placing players on their appropriate teams
- Adding missing players
- Updating data like jersey numbers, player positions, nicknames etc

A lot of work can be done in-game, since we're able to make transactions and create/edit players with the roster management functions. Some things can't be edited within the game though, which is why we use DB Commander to open the saved database files (dbfs) and edit values we can't access from within the game. I won't get into everything you can edit here because there are other guides for that and specific follow-up questions one could ask, but in a nutshell that's what roster editing involves.
