NFL NFL Gamepass

I emailed NFL Game Pass support to ask about a direct app on AppleTV - this is the reponse I got;

Greetings,

Thank you for the NFL Game Pass product feedback.

There are no plans at this time to add access on the Apple TV device.

We have forwarded your note along to the NFL Game Pass Product Team; they appreciate all suggestions emanating directly from user feedback such as this.

Best regards,

NFL Game Pass Support

I guess anyone who wants to see it should email them perhaps the more queries they get the more they'd be inclined to look into it.

Just signed up to Gamepass for the first time ever

Finally had a bit of spare money and a regular internet connection this season (was living away from home last season and didn't have regular internet access) so I thought the time was right time sign up.

Can't wait for the season to start. Now to just figure out the odds and ends of Gamepass and I should be ready to go by the time the season starts

Just in time to see Colt Lyerla catch passes from Aaron Rodgers. #sigh

It's money well spent raven echo. You'll thank yourself for years to come.

I love my gamepass.

Run my computer through my lounge TV so it's even better can enjoy on the couch

 

[Spirit Level]

Hopefully the NFL app on xbox one allows you to access gamepass this year

Does anyone know if they have special offers or any price reductions before the season or is the current price it?

 

[Blacky]

IIRC there is an option to enter a coupon number. I thnk if you do a search you might be able to find it

Sorry for the bump, but I read somewhere that the NFL and OneHD/Channel 10 have ended their broadcasting deals in Aus, meaning that there will be no free to air NFL games shown here. Is this true? Because I wouldn't want to shell out $215 for a GamePass if the article I read was dodge and NFL games were still shown in Australia free to air. Thanks in advance.

I believe that is the case but there could be another channel that picks up the games, 7mate was mentioned i believe. Can wait a few months until it becomes clearer before signing up for gamepass.

That said i would still recommend purchasing gamepass, being able to choose your game to watch, watch it on the run with your ipad and having access to nfl network shows is a great investment.

I probably should just pay up, it does sound like a decent product.

Seconded. There has never been a better way to spend $200.

 

[arro73]

Just one more question, what are the condensed games? Aren't they just the game's highlights? How could highlights go for 40 minutes?

 

[Blacky]

Best 200 bucks you will ever spend

Pays for itself pretty quick

They cut out all the stuff that happens between snaps - so you see every snap, every bit of action... but it only takes 40 minutes.

I love it - I watch 2-3 live games on a Monday, then I get to watch another 2-3 throughout the week using the condensed option.

There's been no word on an Australian tv deal, other than One/Ten's announcement that they'd dropped it. Just do it man, you won't regret getting it.

 

[larkis]

Only problem I have with Gamepass is I can't watch a game from the start if it is half way through. I would love to wake up early to watch the Rams play before work.

Condensed games usually take a few hours to come out as well

You can get the cheaper option for around $120-130. No playoffs though

That's like paying for the date and saying no to going up for coffee

That's an excellent analogy, Blacky

Reminds me of this too....

Coffee Means Something Totally Different in Los Angeles Than It Does in New York
By Jessica Pressler

We knew there were some linguistic differences between New York and Los Angeles. They say "freeway," we say "highway." They wait "in line." We wait "on line." They say "cuz," we say "son." But until today, we had no idea that on the West Coast, "coffee" meant something entirely different than it means here. From this morning's "Page Six":

Turning down Owen Wilson for a date was bad for the career of a waitress at Café Habana, she claims. Monica Mateo is suing the ecofriendly Nolita eatery, claiming her hours were slashed after she rejected an offer by the "Butterscotch Stallion" to take her out for coffee, the Post's Bruce Golding reports. Mateo claims in a Manhattan federal-court filing that restaurant manager Leslie Meenan went ballistic after learning of the snub, saying: "You know what coffee means in Hollywood, right? . . . Don't screw this up."

Emphasis ours, because wait, what? What does coffee mean in Hollywood?!?! Here in New York, coffee is a drink we use to stay awake. A coffee date is least possibly significant social interaction you can have with someone. As far as power meals go, it's not even on the spectrum. It's something you do with your teenage cousins or your ex-boyfriend who's been in AA or someone you met on Craigslist who you want to make sure is not a killer. So, because we are culturally curious, we polled a few Hollywood residents to see what it meant when a man asked them to "coffee" in their city.

"In Hollywood, going to coffee has absolutely nothing to do with coffee whatsoever," said Tonya, an actress. "In L.A., 95 percent of people are 'off coffee.'"

Going to coffee, therefore, is a euphemism for something else. But what? "It might mean he's emotionally ready to take a pass at your script and potentially pass it to the creative at his company," our friend Abigail, Intel Jessica's v best friend and an actress you can see in this clip of Community told us. "In bed."

Lauren, another actress, spelled it out: "Coffee is sex," she said "As is a hike or a lunch or any one-on-one activity with a sought-after male celeb. I waitressed and bartended in L.A.for many years and was hit on by a plethora of celebrities. I heard everything from 'Can I take you to the beach?' from a famous musician to 'There are 36 chapters of the Kama Sutra, and we've already reached 9,' from a famous actor (as I handed him the lunch bill). Any date proposal, even 'coffee,' means they want to have sex with you."

As it turns out, there are further regional variations. "In West Hollywood, coffee means anal," Abigail said.

Nancy Balbirer, the author of Take Your Shirt Off and Cry, a memoir of living in Hollywood, declined to detail what "getting coffee" meant, saying that it was too dirty. But, she said of the "Page Six" item: "The good news is, we now know what 'restaurant manager' means in New York. At least a pimp in Hollywood will buy you shoes."

It's not if you have ESPN - they still have the rights to all play off matches.

That said, even as someone who has ESPN, I think I'd spend the extra $80-90 anyway to have it through the off-season. I haven't used it much at all since February - but it was good for all the pre-draft stuff. And it's been nice to be able to go back and watch all of Philly's matches over the last few months of the season.

 

[Ochre]

Aren't the playoffs generally cheaper by the time they roll around though?

 

[Blacky]

You are forgetting draft etc

 

[arro73]

I figure if I'm going to get it, I might as well just get the whole thing.

 

[arro73]

Ahhh, I really don't know. I just can't see football on my computer for over $100, or even $200. It seems like so much just to see the games.

 

[Exe Gesis]

You get to see all the games -- full, condensed -- and also all the NFL network shows -- and not only live stuff but can go back into the archives for everything....be it full games, condensed games, or NFLN shows, etc, and will last you the entire off-season as well, that whole period from February to June.

Put it this way....$200 is for the full year. That's less than $1 a day. So picture you setting aside $1 a day in the morning to "pay for" gamepass. Considering how much money we spend every day on crap.

 

[Blacky]

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

It was worth it even before one HD dropped the games
