AB1 Now that we’re approaching the end of the season and getting ready to head into October, there is a pretty good chance you’re going to start watching more games. Especially if your favorite team is in the division race to clinch a playoff spot. MLB.com At Bat has now made that more achievable with adding push notifications and providing more live games to thier list so you are less likely to miss out on the playoff rush.

Push Notifications can now be set to alert you when a game is getting ready start or when it has finished. It is very simple to set up and disable on the fly. Open up your settings page and tap “Notifications.” You will then be able to choose multiple teams from the list that you would like to receive notifications. Once you tap on a team you are taken to the page where you can easily customize what type of notifications you would like to receive (‘Game Start’ or ‘Game End’ or both).

Now we get down to the meat of this upgrade. You can now access ANY regular season game that MLB.com At Bat has listed for $.99 per game. You will still be able to access the free feed of 1-2 games a day, however, if it doesn’t include your team then this is your solution. The quick and easy steps to purchasing a game will have you watching your game in no time. On the main scoreboard page, tap the game you wish to purcahse (do not tap the arrow). You will see the in-game details appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap the .TV icon which will then allow you to tap “Buy this Game.”

This solid upgrade from MLB gives the iPhone user more access to their favorite team(s) and at the same enhances the experience through customization.
