I think the game was a bit more competitive this year, but inorder for it to really "count", they must eliminate the need for one player from every team to be represented. Did we really need a player to represent Detroit or the Mets? I think it's a bit hypocritical to tell the players that it "counts", yet restrict their ability to vote based on the fact that the marketing for the game will be better because every team is required to have at least one player represented.
I also enjoyed the fact that the players got to vote on the reserves this year, this made sure that the managers couldn't stack the teams with their own players, which became blatently obvious when the Torre put about 8 yankees on the reserve list a few years back.
