Old app
MaarchaL
I gave this app a chance for couple of days but now I am done and I want the old app back.- Holding horizontally, cannot get to box score, cannot scroll down, the video screen does not allow to see the box score. Rotating vertically somewhat solves this, but it is not convince my to rotate it for each game;- cannot set the desired quality, only low quality, which is too low and automatic, which is a bad option when the internet is not stable as the quality is changing often and every time there is a stoppage. Previously I set it to 360 or 720 kB and it was running smoothly;- cannot find short (2-3 min) highlights video for each game. There are strange new streams available that I have no use from, but th ones I need I cannot get. For some games I want the full game, for some 10 min and for some less important I want only the short ones. Previously it was possible.Sorry, but new look I don’t like either

Screen fills up
Hoping for a bug fix
When opening a game page and checking Summary or Highlights everything is ik, but when I tap on Plays or Box Score the screen automatically fills up with the image above (split screen of teams’ colors) and I’m not able to see anything but the pitcure. Hope you can fix this, because I use the app frequently during the season for checking the box scoresUPDATE: the old “try turning it off & then on again” routine!😄 Tried it a couple of times, but still the same thing happens.
