[QUOTE=padraig_f;80168047]Said I wouldn't, and 5 minutes into pre-season, I cracked and bought it.

SHUTUP..SHUTUP..SHUTUP..SHUTUP

If they still had a preseason off I might have taken it before the withdrawls kicked in , but only season offers available
I really dont see the point in buying it and having to wait 6 days for play-off games. That's when it will really bite.Better off to try ignore the lot altogether....unless I can find a stable streaming site.

Holy crap... just reading this now. I'm just glad I didn't sign up for season plus now, if we're not going to get any play off games live. Absolute nonsense.

SantryRed · 10-08-2012, 22:36

So tempted to get this tonight. So so tempted

Torlac · 10-08-2012, 23:52

vipbox has all the games from tonight pre season

Hulk Hands · 11-08-2012, 01:07

Does gamepass have pre-season? May buy tonight if so

Edit: Yes, i'm now €130 poorer

Yeah I think the playoffs becomes a separate subscription coming up to season end. If your team doesn't make it I don't bother with it and make do with streams.

Gamepass virgin after just signing up.

The live games and the back catalog of games are very impressive, but I'm disappointed with the condensed games, the editing is atrocious in some of the games I have watched!

But for just over a tenner a month, can't complain too much...

SantryRed · 14-08-2012, 10:55

Lads, you won't get the play offs at all. They will not be available. They'll all be on Sky so they would all be blacked out on Gamespass.

Thats made my decision for me so

**bruschi** · 14-08-2012, 12:48

bugger it anyway. getting itchy feet with this now too. Wasnt going to go for it but in 2 minds over it all now. I'll be getting something, whether it sky/espn or game pass and streams for the games that are on sky. And usually when a game is on sky, the stream quality is pretty good and easy to find. no redzone though, I like that for non Patriot games and keeping up with fantasy scores. No playoffs either, so will definitely have to get sky for January anyway. but sky often show crap games. I dont know. Might get sky, use streams for Patriots games not on it then. I'll make some rash decision I'm sure on the openign night of the season, couldnt care less about pre season games.

preseason is really a testing period for gamepass, especially stuff like bandwidth on live games. but ye tried watching a condensed game over the weekend and the second half was completely off, catching the end of each play if lucky.

Phoole · 14-08-2012, 17:57

I've signed up for Regular Season Game Pass. My brother has Sky Sports so I'll go to his if the Pats are on live. I'll subsribe to Sky for the month of January should the Pats get there. The blackout sucks!

boccy23 · 15-08-2012, 09:53

I presume Red Zone will be available on Coolstreams or the like?

I hate this restriction imposed by NFL on Gamepass. I have subscribed all previous years, but have no intention of doing so now. Would also not give Sky any money so will rely on streams for my fix. Works perfect every evening for ATH, PTI, Sportscenter etc.
Used steams to watch Countdown last year as the NFL Gameday Morning bored me.

me-skywalker · 15-08-2012, 12:50

Any good sites for streams paid/nonpaying? I know of mysteams.me does anyone use thsi and find it worth the fee? I'm moving to Canada so need something I can watch on my laptop. Will be cancelling SKY this month.
