Last year, it felt like they really eliminated some of the grind in Diamond Dynasty. This year, it feels like we've gone twenty steps backward, and it's not as fun. I tried to complete the Live Series collection (as I do every year), but just couldn't bear to.

The moment-to-moment gameplay is still solid and all - this is MLB: The Show - but it's not nearly as exciting as previous games. Also...am I the only one disappointed that the only MLB player to get a "Storyline" is Derek Jeter? Great player and all, but...just him? And it's not even the whole storyline?
