The facts are that these games are nearly six months old and football tends to dominate the late summer scene. Here are some tips to keep your current MLB game fresh...

There are also Fictional Rosters for MLB The Show that are very well done.

Or just wait like I did and get it used at the all-star break, in an effort to kill time between the NHL season and Madden. So far so good plenty entertained and the game feels like I just bought it at the all-star break.

For me, interest in baseball video game goes down once Jays season is clear they're not gonna make playoffs(or even come close). That point this year is right about now...Bautista on 15 day DL, half their pitchers are injured, and Lawrie is injured now too.

I barely play MLB once NHL comes out. But that's not for another 8 or so weeks

The length of a season as well as the lack of time is what kills my interest to play. The other factor is when Madden comes out.

Getting through June was key for me.

Once I got to July 1, I wanted to see who made the All-Star team. I took a few days off from playing at my All-Star break. Now with the trade deadline approaching, I'm excited to see what moves are made. And once the deadline passes, the stretch drive for the playoffs begins.

I've got 66 games to go to finish the regular season (playing every game).

I feel ya. Even with how horrible their pitching has been I was still holding on to the hopes of the extra wild card spot. Bautista dropping, now Lawrie, yikes. On the brightside it saved me money, no need to make my final payment to MLB.tv to finish the season.
