If You Can't Fix Accessibility, I can't Play

I'm a blind user and if you noticed, I have not done much when it comes to my favorite game, Beat the Streak the last couple years. The Play app is EXTREMELY difficult to use because accessibility is very, very poor. Many items are not labeled in a way where I actually know what I am tapping on in the iOS environment with Voiceover and that makes the game play all but impossible with BTS and hopeless with the other games. I've only kept this app on my phone because I would love to hope that some day, you will do better than this. This app is a barrier for the blind that almost is as shameful as the racial barriers that kept greats from playing ball until 1947 when Jackie Robinson joined the Dodgers. Please improve your accessibility and be more inclusive.

MLB Play Games

Love the app and participate daily! For the most part, I’m happy with the current games available. Though I would also like to see past games made available at least periodically (such as “Base Chase”). Also, I would like to see “Bingo” adjusted for the use of multiple bingo cards &/or being able to have a bingo card(s) for multiple MLB games in a single day!

My only real disappointment regarding the games themselves, is that “Pickle” awards neither XP nor Tokens!

Hi there - we appreciate your thoughts/feedback regarding MLB Play and will be happy to send them along to our team for review. Please feel free to email us at play@mlb.com with any additional concerns.

Some ideas to add in the future

1) Add a different mode where you can pick a lot of people (maybe up to 5 or 10 each day) and see how far you can get. You probably don't win money in this mode but maybe you can win a cool profile pic or something

- Maybe have a different leaderboard to show how many total players hits and overall total hits you have throughout the year

2) Fun idea: A betting mode where you make crazy parlays and win points or cool prizes (doesn't have to involve real money, a free bet mode would actually be cool)

3) Add a special Playoffs mode? (i don't believe there is one, i could be wrong idk)

4) More stats for you, who you like to pick, etc..

- A section that shows everyone you picked and how well they did throughout the year (i remember they had this on an older version of the app) I feel like these simple additions can go a long way, i think people would like these. Always looking forward to playing this every year, one of the hardest competitions to win!

A bit improved but could still be better.

To follow up on my previous review, I actually do like that the MLB Shop prizes are gift cards and no longer discounts codes that expire. One thing that it would be really nice to see improved though is a pick for a game that never starts and gets postponed eventually unlocking so that I can pick a different player. For one thing, if I really want to pick a player, I’m not just going to not pick him because of a threat of rain. But imagine if two guys are at 56. One picks a guy who gets a hit, and the other picks a guy in a game that’s not even played. I think that would really be unfair.
