MLB Play 17+

They dumbed this down : (

Updated Review:

Thank you for making the updates I listed below!! The app is way better. It really matters when you listen to your users. Thank you!

New request: consider allowing 3 picks a day. It will provide more interest, bigger swings, and extend the game longer when players are mathematically eliminated late in the season. Lastly, 3 picks better aligns with baseball - 3 strikes, 3 outs.

————————————————

MLB opted to go pretty with the new app and throw functionality out the window. Here’s what’s wrong: - got rid of filtering tool - dumb! - can’t tell left, right, switch hitter - can’t tell home or away team - doesn’t include full roster - cannot search for a player - can’t see picks of other users - so many open modals; hard to navigate Whoever approved this approach needs to be fired. The old app needed upgrading but this is a complete fail. If you really were into the MLB they blew it for the true fans and opted to cater to people who are passive at best. If someone thinks this poorly functioning app is going to pull more fans to MLB or more gamblers to MGM they are fooling themselves. Enjoy the pretty pictures : (

Hi Dave, thank you for your feedback! We will submit your comments to our team for review for future releases/iterations of MLB Play.

Way to view your and other players’ profiles in BTS?

There seem to be some improvements to this latest iteration of Beat The Streak in this app vs. the past BTS apps, primarily in appearance. But unfortunately, it seems design may have been prioritized over improving and building on existing functions that the old app had, or even keeping certain functions around at all. For example, I can view my profile, but I don’t see any way to see which players I have picked most often (it’s currently only one game into the season and I’ve only had outcomes for one day of picks total so far, so that information would be admittedly kind of meaningless at the moment, but I want to be able to see a summary of which players I have picked most frequently as the season goes on). Is there a way to view that? It just seems like users should be able to view a summary of their outcomes. I also enjoyed being able to view other players’ profiles and which players they have picked most often but I can’t seem to see how to do that now either. The old app, even with its problems and being glitchy as it was, at least had these functions.

Enjoyable, & fun

It’s a fun way to stay involved with a game through a long season. It is a great thing to do if you can get some friends together & make it a league type deal I would imagine, I don’t have friends so that is out for me sadly… one day however… one day I will have that perfect friend. Haha back to the app, it’s good, I kinda wish they would do more things like this, do more giveaways are always good, and maybe just give me the $5.6M bc I am betting I could hire a friend with $5.6M…. Dang I needs that money… 🤤🤤🤤 I did make a few dollars selling my chronicles of Reddick spin off series to Netflix, but I don’t think it’s ever gonna get made… so alas… my only hope for friendship is that $5.6M nummy nummy in my little baseball tummy! 🤗🤗🤗
