NFL NFL Gamepass

If you have or purchase Apple TV you can watch on your tv.

It was worth it even before one HD dropped the games

I never watched a single game on ONE HD.

Why? When I could watch any game I wanted that day....and in the comfort of when it suited me, like say, late at night replay home from work. Or even if i wanted to wake up 5am, I could select the game to watch rather than be forced to watch say Dallas vs Philadelphia (snooze). Or I could split screen watch 2-4 games. Or I could watch Redzone while staying in bed with the laptop/tablet or phone.

Put it like that it seems very reasonable.

Maybe this season they'll realise that everyone is watching with a second screen in hand these days and will let us log in on 2 different devices at once.

It was the one thing that drove me nuts about Gamepass, was that I couldn't watch Red Zone as well as watching the Eagles game.

That said, I still watched games on One after I got Gamepass - I'd just watch 2 games at once.

So, when watching your favourite team/s, do you watch the condensed games on a Monday night after work or do you watch the full game? I'm thinking about how much time I might have on Monday in terms of work, and how many games it's possible to watch that night.

When I come home late Monday night, I'll watch the full replay of my favorite team playing (Raiders vs whomever). And then I'll crash. Then Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday night I'll watch condensed versions of all the other games that interest me MOST ... as in i could watch them all, but time restrictions means i have to pick a bunch, not all. Depending on the actual games, and how busy my week is, i could watch all the other 15 games in condensed mode in that Tues-Thur period.

If there are games on MOnday morning that interest me (like say Browns vs Bears), then I'll wake up early to watch it live and have a redzone split screen on at the same time. Or if there are two or three games early Monday that I wanna watch very much, then I'll split screen watch them all, flicking back and forth.

Other times, I'll wake up early Monday, no clear game that interests me, and I'll watch just Redzone on its own.

Full game always for dener

Do you general do a score blackout for the Raider's games?

 

[Exe Gesis]

The added bonus to gamepass btw, that hasnt been mentioned, is most of us also play Fantasy leagues, and/or are in the annual tipping comp called Armchair Endzone. So there's a vested interest in getting up early to watch games, or to watching just condensed versions after work, or to watching the NFL Network analysis shows like NFL Playbook etc.....all done as a way to keep abreast of your fantasy players, or to look out for any fantasy sleepers, or to get an idea from the analysis of former players and experts on which way to tip in the tipping comps.

Do you general do a score blackout for the Raider's games?

No. I don't mind knowing the score. I'm traveling to work around 7am to about 9am, and from 9am onwards am working or traveling again, so during all that time, I'll actually keep an eye on scores and stats on my phone/tablet, using NFL Mobile, or some other good apps. There might even be times where I'll sit somewhere and watch 10 or so mins of a game on my phone logged into gamepass there.

So I'll know the score of all games by the afternoon. By the time I get home I'm still keen to watch the full game tho I know the score, to see how everything transpired and analyze the game and players etc without distractions.

Obviously it's better when watching a game live.....if the Raiders are on 430-500am Monday, then great. But if they start like 830, it's too late.

I think I'll be exactly the same with Gamepass this year.

I'll be too impatient to know if the Packers have won or lost to wait until I get home from work to watch it and eventually find out haha.

Packers should be on a lot more early morning monday for you to watch live.

Tho there should be a number of marquee games they play in the late slot on Sunday Night and Monday Night Football.

I work shift work, so it my crappy hours might work in my favour for once lol

I hate, hate, hate knowing the scores before watching an Eagles game. For the condensed games I watch later in the week, I obviously choose based on the scores and on what I've seen on RedZone - but for the Eagles, I want to be watching live.

I only had Gamepass for the second half of last season, so my history of it isn't as good as others - but once I got it, I never missed a live Eagles game.

I'm quite fortunate in that my job has flexible working hours. As long as I work at least 7.5 hours between 7.30am and 7pm, it doesn't really matter when I work.

So for 5am games (or 3am before daylight savings) I just watch them before I go to work. For the 1-2 SNF games we get a year I'll usually take a day off.

And for the TNF, MNF or mid-afternoon games against unremarkable opposition... well, that's why Gamepass has an iphone app, and why offices have wifi Seriously though, I didn't really have to deal with this issue last season because I only got it half way through the season. I'm not entirely sure how I'll handle this.

Sickies, maybe...

I'm always a condensed game watcher, even for the Ravens. The full game doesn't have the cliffhangers or suspense if it's not live.

But what if you turn scores off, you could pretend it's live.

I'd have to ignore the scores all day at work, and that's not going to happen.

 

[arro73]

Does RedZone start at 3am on Mondays? When their Sunday game are.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Yes and goes thru all day and ends at the start of the Sunday night game

 

[happydude]

I used to have Mondays off and I usually start work at 2 am.

So getting up on Monday for a 5am game for me is very easy then I just watch what ever other games I want live afterwards.

Usually get home from work at 11 am so the MNF and TNF that are played over lunch time are on perfect for me.


I also run my computer through my plasma in the lounge so it's just like watching it on a TV network.

Some days I feel gamepass was designed just for me

 

[arro73]

Well, I finally did it. I bought the damn thing. Can't wait to try it out tonight!

Bwahahahahaha omg haha sucked in!!!!

 

[Scorpio]

Love Gamepass. Will be getting it again this season. Just wish they would put an app for it directly on AppleTV like the MLB and NHL do.

 

[arro73]

What's that supposed to mean? GG

 

[arro73]

This is actually amazing, and the season hasn't even started yet.
