MLB

I enjoy this app tremendously. But I really wish that they would bring back the classic games. They was something about listening to a classic baseball game that was extremely enjoyable. There was so many to choose from. And it was wonderful reliving some of the games from the past. I hope that you will possibly bring those back. it was a wonderful thing and it said that it's no longer there. The problem that I have is on the radio programs when you listen to the audio games, you repeat the same things over and over again I cannot tell you how many times a night we hear Apple taco. I can’t tell you how many times a night we hear Mike Piazza same old speech. There are so many players and so many interview interviews that you could play. Why do you play the same things over and over again? and then we’re listening to the games out of state the place that we live seems to cut off the broadcast so we can hear his commercials from the state of which we’re living. I wish they wouldn’t do that either. It’s a great app. We love it, but we really wish you guys would change up some of the things that you do. cause like I said we’re tired of hearing the same things during the commercials over and over and over again.

New: most of my complaints below are much better 2 months into the season. Ads are back to normal length. Still, I do sometimes get kicked out of an audio archive game when I pause the broadcast, which makes it hard to find my place in listening after I re-start. But I’m enjoying listening again! Old: I’ve been a long time MLB audio subscriber, and use the app for MLB audio archive (my main way of keeping up with baseball) during the last couple of seasons has been great. Normal ad transitions, pretty easy to navigate to different times when I have to pause/leave and then return to an archived game. This season, however, MLB archived audio consistently cuts away from the announcers between innings/changes into generic repeating ads that last 4 to 5 1/2 minutes, which is longer than ad break if I were listening in real time. The average length of game is 2h 41m but the longer ads in the archived MLB audio extend the archived game time to an average that’s way longer than true game time. I don’t have hard numbers for an average, but I’d guess it’s about 3h 45m to start 2024. I pay for the app! **MLB shouldn’t add ads to an archived broadcast that extend game time even a minute for paying subscribers!!!** Shortening the game was a huge achievement by MLB last season. I’ll now go back to the archived game from yesterday that ran 2h 50m IRL, but is showing 3h 44m on my app. Ugh. Come on, MLB. Don’t artificially inject time back into the game.

There are so many problems with the video playback on the television apps. It’s hard to know where to start. I have four different TVs with the app and none of them sync together so if you switch TVs in the middle of a game, you have to start over to the beginning and fast forward. Also, even though I have scores hidden when you fast forward the TV or pause the TV the time bar will show you the score so. The problem here is it’s not always synced to the exact moment of the baseball game so if you’re trying to fast forward a commercial for instance it may show a score from a half inning later. Also, if you start watching a game in the middle of the game, but you start from the beginning, when the game ends, if you were to get out of it and hit resume, it will put you at the end of the game. This has happened to me many times. also, the Fire TV app is totally different from the Samsung app in the way you fast forward. I’ve never seen an app so different TV to TV to TV. I can’t believe that they don’t sync together. When I first got the apps, I had to turn off the hidden score on every single app. I had to change the phone, the iPad, my four TVs. How was this even possible when it’s linked to your account information? I like the app for what it offers. I just don’t like the fact that it’s such a bad user interface. I’m absolutely shocked, that this is a highly rated app.
