Don’t even waste your time

Beat 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.

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 : (

Needs Improvement

Seeing 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!!!

So Disappointed

There’s really no incentive to utilize app what so ever. Im in my early 30’s, and am already a big baseball fan, so I follow the games regardless of the apps changes. But for a sport really trying to appeal to younger generations of fans, this was not the way to do it.I recommended this app to my brothers based on last years prize rules. They don’t follow as closely as I do, and I thought it would be fun for them to become more interested. Once they figured out that all you can win, in both the apps games, is a “virtual rewards pack” which is basically just player head shots, they stopped playing against me after 2 games.Last year was great, the prizes weren’t huge, but I knew If I played, I might be able to win a week of mlbtv, or rewards at the mlb store, now there’s only one prize, thats not cool Now I have a “trophy case” with some cheap virtual “rewards” and the sole reason I play, is because, well, I actually don’t know why I still play.I think this operation needs to try a little harder for its fans, because while I’ll always be engaged in MLB events/games, there are not many people my age that share that love, and even fewer people in their late teens to early 20’s who even pay attention

No incentives & poor UX

On 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.

Thoroughly destroyed BTS

I’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.

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! 🤗🤗🤗

Genuinely Sad and Dissapointed

It 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. SincerelyNoah

You gutted beat the streak

I 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.

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.
