Thanks but I'm more wondering what % of plays I'd get the coaches film on if I went for the single team option.

Ah ok, haven't sign up myself fully so can't tell ya buddy

For someone who doesn't have Sky and went through the last couple of years watching streams online, would people recommend Gamepass? Seems a little expensive for someone who'll probably have to go back to the streams for blacked out games on Sunday evenings but I do like that the late night games on Thursday, Sunday and Monday aren't blacked out and would be available for condensed viewing when I get in from work in the evenings...

No, had gamepass before but not buying it with blackouts, wil use sky

Last season was the first time I could afford to buy Gamepass and I didn't regret it one bit. It's so worth it for the ability to see every game condensed or not, and also for red zone too. I follow the Bills so black outs rarely affect me watching my most desired game, but it's only blacked out for a little while anyway.

In short, it's very much a small investment for a WHOLE lotta football :-)

Just got an email reminder about automatic renewal. I'm still 50/50 on it. I don't suppose there is any info on the black outs yet?

I'd imagine its the same as the last year considering Sky's rights aren't changing

Got an email today aswell. I would be very suprised if the blackouts aren't the same as last year.

engrish?

I was going to get gamepass but luckily I found this thread!

So gamepass is about ¢40 a month for the three months but you dont get any of the games that are on sky(for 24hrs at least).

Anyone know the cost of getting all the Sky Sports on UPC?

Gamepass is free again this season with a Dutch VPN. Watching NFL Network with it now and it didn't even ask me to sign in this year.

ahhh balls - I was trying to access it over the past month or two and could watch NFL Network but couldn't watch archived games so though they quit the free gamepass for the Dutch for this year so I ended up caving in and buying the subscription and I'm still gonna have to VPN to watch the blacked out games regardless

Any chance NFL will give me my money back now

The one I use is €6 for a month or €15 for 3. I can PM you if you want, already sent out a PM to someone inquiring so I can copy/paste it to you.

Maybe. Tell them you are moving house and your new ISP isn't fast enough or something

Also lads, if any of you use a streaming site such as Star Streams for the soccer, they will be showing all prime time games, the vast majority of Sunday evening/night games and Red Zone every week too (or at least they did last year, but I already had Game Pass). €7 a month and very good quality. Invites to join will probably open up again towards the start of the new soccer season (middle of August) so if you want to go that route keep an eye out.

Thread talking about them (and others) in more detail from the soccer forum is below, probably best to use the search function on that one as there's a lot of posts about older services that aren't relevant any more:

Been waiting for a while but will probably bite the bullet and buy it tomorrow. I usually travel back to college on sunday evenings so didn't get to see many 1pm games last year so the condensed games is a big attraction. I also feel like I didn't follow the game as closely as usual last year so looking forward to Sunday and the start of the season!

Yes, buying gamepass for the first time regardless

Signed up for 155 euro and for the full package until this time next year.

Reasonable price. And now I can also watch on my phone which is handy for catching NFL Network on the luas to work in the mornings

I didn't have it last year but did have it before then and Ireland was not affected by blackouts back then. That has changed I see, not good!

It was blacked out initially wasn't it which is why I didn't go for it last year. Time for an email petition asking the NFL to be sound to Ireland again this year?

2013 version of gamepass is now available to be downloaded. Few changes.

Brian017

Had this last season and really enjoyed it. Debating whether to get it again this year but like always €155 seems like a big hit in one gone. Anyone wanna have a go at reaffirming that €155 is worth it so I don't feel as bad? :P

I'm using a Dutch VPN... downloaded the game pass app for tablet and it no longer is giving free... It's asking me to sign up our free 5 minutes preview :-\

I was thinking about signing up for Gamepass, but I see it's currently at STG£99.99 for the season (minus pre-season), but according to my records, I paid 99.99 euros last year (albeit in mid October, so I missed the first month) - have they increased their prices, or did I take advantage of some special offer last year and is it something they do regularly?

Can't remember exactly what it was last season, but seems about the same price this season. They reduce the subscription cost as the season goes on to account for the fact that people are signing up late, so I think that was why you got it at a reduced rate in October. I haven't seen any special offers related to signing up late, and I think on a per-week basis, it's actually the best value to sign up at the start of the season.

Edit:
Also, you sure it doesn't include pre-season? Thought the standard package included that.

I already signed up. I see on my login page, there's a referral offer which I'm not gonna use, so anyone here that wants it, I'll send it to them. Gives you 10% off the subscription price, and me an entry into a draw for some London NFL package.

Has anyone who uses Game Pass on the ipad tried watching on their TV using an adapter? I have heard of some apps not allowing you to watch on your TV (Sky Go)
