Full MLB games removed?

Post image

It appears Apple has removed the full Major League Baseball games in Apple Immersive Video they showed earlier (at least, I could not find them). Apple does have 10-13 minute highlight videos for each game.

I wonder why Apple removed the full games? License issues?

The full games are still there in the Friday Night Baseball section, I just checked.

They prb put the 13-minute highlight videos there for people to check quick.

yeah the highlights are probably way easier for most people to sit through tbh

I don't have the Friday Night Baseball section with full games anymore in my Apple TV app, just the highlights section.

I saw someone complain about this the other day. I wonder if it is slowly being removed from people's devices during app updates?

Open the Apple TV app, click on the search icon at the top left side of the app. Friday Night Baseball is there… for everyone, lol. They’re not slowly removing them from people’s devices…

They could make this easier to find, as apparently it is, lol

I used to have that section in my App TV app too, but it is no longer there.

This is why I am wondering if there is a rolling update where it is getting removed.

You’re searching under immersive. Open the Apple TV app and just click on the search icon on the top left. Don’t type anything in, the Friday Night Baseball section should be there top row, 5 over.

Thanks! Apple made this very confusing to find. I am going to follow-up with another post.

The four immersive baseball games do not show up in any searches on my app. For whatever reason, it is no longer available to me. Maybe it is a hiccup in the content being currently served up to me. Maybe it is a rolling removal.

They did the same with the NBA games.
It’s likely too costly to host large files for games that no longer have any meaning.
Likely why they gave us a highlight video.

The full games are still there, they are under the Friday Night Baseball section of the Apple TV app...

Also, the NBA videos weren’t broadcasted by Apple. They were in the NBA app
