MLB Play for Negative User Reviews

Beat the streak 🤷‍♂️New version very confusing and doesn’t seem to be working, like all these days if something works change it so it DOESNT 🤷‍♂️.Version: 12.0.0

New App loses featuresThe new app looks nice, but lost all the interesting statistics from Beat the Streak. No longer can you see how many times you’ve picked a player, their success when you picked them, the overall batting average from players you selected, and the percentage of correct picks. All of those are fun parts of Beat the Streak that are no longer there. I hope it’s in the works to bring those back..Version: 12.0.0

New lookI hate the new way this app is done.Version: 12.0.0

Fans outside USBeat The Streak used to work fine outside US and Canada but now doesn’t work at all. Pathetic. MLB should be trying to grow the game not limit fans engagement.Version: 12.0.0

Fans outside the USIf you are a fan outside of the US and Canada then the whole app doesn’t work,MLB you have to do better for us fans outside of The US and canada..Version: 12.2.0

Better than last year but…I feel like improvements have been made from last year. One thing that bugs me is that the app asks me to sign in about every week or so and I feel like it should remember me on my devices. Would appreciate it if that could be addressed..Version: 13.0.2

Beat the Streak is RuinedThis app is a perfect example of how flashy is not always better. Baseball is not flashy. A 56-game hit streak is not flashy. Playing in 2,130 straight games is not flashy. What’s wrong with the new app? EVERYTHING! Now it’s just a vehicle to get people to gamble. I’m not interested in gambling. My brother and I live far apart and our BTS group was a way for us to keep tabs on each other and have conversations. Now we can’t see how the other person is doing with their streak. I also like to pick batters going up against opposite-armed pitchers. Finding that information now is tedious..Version: 12.0.2

App has incorrect batting results. It’s only day 2 of seasonDoesn’t have the correct player results stats - it’s only day 2 and it already killed my “streak” even though my player went 1-5 with a double - the app says he was an 0-4 day. If app doesn’t track, tabulate and data feed properly on Day 2 of the season this doesn’t hold much hope of working well once some serious streaks start and get killed off by incorrect data.Version: 12.0.0

Want to beat the streak? Close this app and give upThe chances of you beating the streak is less likely than you getting a perfect March madness bracket twice in a row. Save your time. It’s fun playing if you like “pat on the back” incentives. The pick em’ section (where you answer a variety of questions on the day’s games) is cool, but it doesn’t say whether or not you’ll actually win stuff. Seems like this is a last ditch effort to get people excited about that game. Want people to get more excited? Throw in some prizes. MLB: if someone DOES win the $5.6 million in BTS i want that coming directly out of Anthony rendon’s contract..Version: 12.0.2

A swing and a missEvery time I’ve tried to play, I’m taken to a page that says “A swing and a miss,” but both games were locked until recently. Quick Pick is still locked, but recently BTS unlocked, so I guess that’s an improvement? It’s unlocked, but I can’t see anything in the game or play. And when I’ve tried to contact the app developer through the app, nothing happens...another miss. This game was really fun a few years ago, but now this seems like a pointless, worthless app. In the past, playing BTS added a fun element to watching baseball, especially comparing streaks with friends..Version: 12.1.0

Terrible!I can’t seem to see a large number of players - no Cards, no Padres. I’m out!.Version: 12.0.2

New app design is terribleI’ve been playing beat the streak for a bunch of years now. This new design and layout is awful. The old app was very straightforward and easy to follow. Sure, the old app could have used an upgrade, but this is the wrong direction. I’ve been playing less this year because of it..Version: 12.0.2

Useless appNo point in getting the app. If you wanna watch spring training, it’s a great app. Don’t bother and get the live TV, just tells you that you can’t. Love how they don’t bother to tell you that for 25 bucks a months, that you can’t watch your favorite team. Due to television restrictions and contracts. I give it a one star and that’s just because it gives you news. Don’t bother on live TV. NFL TV actually knows what they’re doing. You can watch NFL on antenna and MLB you can’t get enough streaming services to watch 😂 love my mlb but they gotta figure their stuff out. Don’t get the app and definitely don’t upgrade. Waste of money..Version: 13.0.0

Yearly Batting AverageWhy did you remove user yearly batting average, was such a cool aspect feature. Please bring it back.Version: 12.0.2

No incentives & poor UXOn the game itself: the two features I found most relatable encouraging, and fun… and I presume for most other players as well, were: a) milestone prizes and b) custom groups to compete with friends. Without those prize incentives at 5, 10, 15, etc.. this limits game strategy and is already quite discouraging. I’m sure there is reason for abandoning these offerings, but from the looks of the comments section, strategy is not paying off. On the design: some flashy improvements are nice, especially player photos and alerts when a player is out of the lineup. Two areas to improve: - it took me longer than it should have to locate the ‘By Matchup’ menu… which only comes into view when you scroll… and there are no queues to indicate additional option(s). This is made worse by centering the 4 visible options, again providing an impression that this menu is complete. Please fix this, it’s UX 101. - For whatever reason, this app is more difficult to swipe up and exit than virtually any other on my device (iPhone 12 Pro Max). Perhaps a minor detail, but no less an annoyance. It takes 2 or more swipes..Version: 12.0.1

Won’t let me back inPos won’t let me back in !! Old app worked perfectly this new version is absolutely the worst.Version: 12.0.1

DisappointedLast year was so much fun playing along with each game. Now, if you are lucky and remember early in the day, you can answer questions about the teams playing that day otherwise you are locked out. The prizes were fun last year and now I am playing for what… online trophies. It is so sad that you creators just did not leave it alone. I wish I could give this app zero stars. I won’t be playing much longer especially if I do not remember to make my picks early in the day before it locks..Version: 12.0.2

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..Version: 12.0.0

Genuinely Sad and DissapointedIt is come to my attention on the new MLB Play app, there is no more prizes for 5, 10, etc. hitting streaks and there’s no more incentive to play this game besides getting the 57 game hitting streak. Is it possible for you guys to add some more incentive or prizes potentially because I know that would get more people to play because there’s no way that it is as fun as it used to be. Can my tokens be redeemed for anything but useless wallpaper/profile photos? Those are so useless and unfun. This has made me sad, should I blame Rob Manfred for this? But seriously though I am a disappointed fan and customer, especially since I am a Diamondbacks fan also my life is already hard. I guess the graphics and format is not bad I like the pictures when you select players but that’s literally it. I’m sad. Sincerely Noah.Version: 12.0.1

Why Would you Remove Filters?Got rid of the best features of the old app. Can’t search by batter performance against the pitcher in the past, which is what made the previous app great in spite of its glitches. Why should I care what the popular picks are? I want to think for myself and search players by what I think is important, not what random people are choosing. Major disappointment, but I guess that’s the MLB for you..Version: 12.0.1

Don’t even waste your timeBeat The Streak was a fun app a few years ago. Since then it’s gotten progressively worse. I used to have all my friends in a group so I can see their streaks, which was my favorite part of the app. It made no sense to me to remove a feature that everyone loved. Now, even picking your player is worse! You can’t filter through players by different stats in the way you could in previous iterations of this app. IT DOESN’T EVEN SHOW YOU IF A BATTER IS LEFT OR RIGHT HANDED! Also the leaderboard is broken so you can’t even see who has the highest streak. Not that the leaderboard even matters cause the rest of the app is so unbearable to use. All together a waste of time and me and my friends will no longer be playing beat the streak next season..Version: 12.0.1

DowngradeDefinitely a downgrade from years past. I used to love playing Beat The Streak on the MLB webpage and it was super easy to navigate. Now I’m forced to use the app. The app constantly crashes while trying to make picks. Also, when I wake up in the morning to make my selections for the day I have to completely close the app in order for it to update to the right date otherwise it only shows me games from the night before. AND they took away all of the small but cool incentives for the smaller streaks (5,10,15, etc. day streaks).Version: 12.2.0

I miss the old appThis app isn’t necessarily terrible, it’s just more complicated and involved than the old bts app used to be. It’s like they are trying to turn this app into something it’s not. By taking away the prizes and adding these worthless prizes they’ve taken away like half of the incentive to even play this in the first place. Please go back to the old.Version: 12.0.1

Won’t let me inI had the most fun 2 season’s ago. And It just sucks, But I won’t give up. **$$DUKE**$$.Version: 12.0.0

Login does NOT workDespite the claim that the login bug has been fixed, I continue to be unable to login. In fact, I can’t even get the login prompt to populate. It’s infuriating. I have really enjoyed playing Beat the Streak over the years, but there’s no way to access it with the new app. This attempt to bring all MLB app functions under one umbrella is an epic fail which is supported by the very poor but accurate ratings. I am always stunned when apps are “upgraded” but don’t function. Don’t waste your time with this app. I’m so disappointed that I can’t play beat the streak. It created a greater connection to baseball and it brought a lot of joy. It’s pretty sad that it has been taken away..Version: 12.0.1

Took away informationThe latest update to the Diamond Derby game gave us pretty pictures of pitchers but took away the bar that had how many games we picked and how many were left in the day. Bad enough that it is hard to determine if you picked a game with muted colors (why not a check mark?) but now it’s even harder to figure out because you don’t even know how many games you picked or have left..Version: 12.2.0

Regional RestrictionsThis app is horrible. Compared to older versions they focused way to much on the layout and not enough on the actual BTS game... I’m from east coast Canada and after making picks the first few days of the season it stopped allowing me to because the game “isn’t available in my region”. I live in NB not QC ya dummies.Version: 12.0.2

The new app is the worstI really dislike the new update for the beat the streak app. It is VERY clunky and annoying to use. The old version of the app was was very simple and easy to use. I especially liked the feature where I could sort through batters and opposing pitchers to find good matchups. I don’t think I will be using this new app ver much this season as it is very uninspiring to use. Please make changes..Version: 12.0.1

Why?Why make a product that takes away so many things people have grown to love. Not being able to select or filter as we previously could. No groups. If you’re trying to bring in more fans and younger fans, why would you get rid of prizes that allow for free viewing of your product??? This seems like a giant fail so far. Visually this looks better, as a whole it’s missing important things that BTS or any of the other MLB games had. Please fix it..Version: 12.0.0

New design apparently cost the prizesI actually like the new design, but the little incremental prizes (which actually kept a lot of people playing, including any of my friends who played) being taken away is a huge letdown. No one’s ever ‘beaten’ BTS so why take away the small prizes? It has taken away the joy of coming back most days to continue, and doesn’t give much of a reason to continue playing when the chances of beating the actual steak are incredibly low. Also, all of my friends who played, and we made it a little competition have stopped playing because of this, which is also gives me (and seemingly a lot of people) more of a reason to cease my support of the app..Version: 12.0.2

You gutted beat the streakI can understand that you didn’t want to pay for the scratch offs (which were awesome) but all of the other changes you made seem like they were designed for 7 year olds. I’ve been playing this game for 7-8 years and love it but am saddened to see what you did. The fact that you can’t see who the people on the leaderboard picked that day makes 0 sense. The “prizes” of trophies and wallpapers are ridiculous and seem to be for children. You also don’t keep track of our picks so we can look back and see how we’ve been doing with a certain player which is valuable information. All in all I will continue to play but whoever designed this needs to get back to work and restore the game that so many people love..Version: 12.1.0

When it Comes to Accessibility for Blind Users, this App StruckoutIN the old days of BTS, being a blind fan who requires a nice accessible design to interact with apps and webpages, this was a great app. I can't use it as it is currently designed, it is truly inaccessible. If you can't do a better job of designing this thing MLB and think it is cool to just exclude someone like me, then I'll exclude this app and I will never promote any of your games. You talk a great game when it comes to inclusion, but I feel very excluded by how you designed this app. BTS was a hall of fame app, this thing is bush league and it is in need of an extreme makeover..Version: 12.3.4

Out of MarketWhy make the app available in markets that can’t access either Beat the Streak or Quick Pick ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Pointess….Version: 12.0.0

Won’t let me in!!Set up an account two days ago and made picks for opening day. Trying to get back in and it’s asking for a password with nowhere to type one. If I push the login or sign up buttons nothing happens. I’ve always enjoyed playing beat the streak and I hope this gets rectified..Version: 12.0.0

Fun app, resolution terrible.Maybe this is only meant to be played on a giant 12” tablet. Super annoying to scroll all over to try and see the full picture of anything. And by picture I don’t mean all the graphics, I mean relevant info and stats for picking players. Pickle is lots of fun, but on my standard sized iPhone the keyboard covers up all the info of players trying to pick..Version: 13.0.2

Thoroughly destroyed BTSI’ve been playing BTS for years now, and in the past 4 years, the game and app have steadily declined. This is a popular contest, yet the developers have made it less user friendly to totally eradicating group play. Last year a streak wasn’t validated despite proof. This year is a whole different level of disappointment. The app is glitchy, it is hard to close, takes forever to load, and often freezes, or just closes down. Then today… I check Trout’s stats. It shows the Angels playing in Chicago against Smyly. When I open head to head, it shows that Trout hasn’t had an at bat against Kershaw and the Dodgers. These two discrepancies are bad enough. Then there is the fact that the Angels are actually at home against the Nationals. Absolutely zero trust in this app or the info. I wish I could give negative stars..Version: 12.0.2

Old version was better and no prizes this yearThe new design and set up of the app is all over the place compared to the old design. Instead of winning things such as “free week/month of MLBtv”, “discounts to MLBshop” or other prizes NOW you can win a new profile picture or title for your profile…wow so much better.Version: 12.0.2

The New Update is Dope but no prizes?I like the new look and percentages, etc… but what happened to the prizes. Like the scratch offs giving chances for all star game for two or digital packs of baseball cards, which is kinda lame but others may have liked it. Now all I get is avatars from mostly players that I don’t like to follow. Now it’s all in for the perfect streak, wish me luck! Hope you guys give out some good stuff for all us fans who love the game of baseball and who love to play beat the streak..Version: 12.1.0

App is trashOld app worked great. This one loses your account and repeatedly asks you to re-register. Don’t waste your time with this garbage.Version: 12.0.0

Needs ImprovementSeeing as though my first review was removed, I will really unload with this one, even though it will probably get removed as well. There are so many cons with this new app. First and foremost, you can only access BTS, Quick Pick and Diamond Dynasty from the app when you used to be able to from the internet. I also prefer to set my picks the night before but I can’t with Quick Pick although I understand why. Second, all of the prizes like scratch offs and other incentives to play this have been wiped in exchange for avatars and wallpapers… not joking. Third, BTS frequently crashes whenever I’m browsing for picks to make. While I do appreciate the updates in order to keep the app fresh like the addition of Diamond Dynasty, this app still leaves a lot to be desired. Also, the ratings on the App Store have shifted drastically as it received mostly negative ones before this and now it’s up to almost 5/5… I find that very fishy as it should be 3 stars at best!!!.Version: 12.1.0

Very un accessible to blind users using Apple iPhone, and voiceover.The app is very not friendly to blind users of MLB, using screen reader, I am using an iPhone, SE, 2020 with voiceover, a lot of in label, buttons, and links, and when I click the button that says I already have an MLB account, it does not do log, and it does not bring up that. I did login successfully with the MLB app, and that seems to be fine when I tap the tab that says watch, and then the other tab, I mean button, that says audio. I would like this app to have some more improvements. Hopefully thank you for reading my feedback and comments..Version: 13.0.0
