NFL Gamepass blackouts. Will you be signing up?

BKWDR

Have to say the more i think about how much i use GP , even in the past few weeks, i dont mind shelling out 180 for it (but hope there is some discount code) - Top app and top way to watch ball.

Watching a few condensed games over the past few weeks and there seems to be a buffering between plays, its via chromecast so might be that issue, anyone else experiencing this?

Tbh I feel the same, I think it's a great service even at full price. I've noticed a few bits of buffering watching old games via chromecast, but nothing too crazy.

For the blackout games, when do they appear on the app? For example the Thursday night matches, will they be there ready to watch on Friday or are they blacked out for a while first?

The only games affected by the blackout are the 2 Sunday games on Sky. All the rest including TNF, SNF and MNF are unaffected and available to watch live

Beefy78

Awesome, thanks.

And the two Sunday games, are they just bloacked-out 'live' or is there a delay in them going onto the on-demand portion of the site?

jack presley

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

24 hours from the completion of the game I think.

They are blacked out for 24 hours. After that you can watch them in full or the condensed version if you wish

In saying that, they did appear well before the 24 hour mark the next day on occasion.

Been watching the thread without paying attention for ages, am I right in thinking that whilst some games will be blacked out, all games will be available after 24 hours?

I'm not that fussed about missing them live to be honest, unsociable hours for most games combined with having very very few people I know into football to give away any spoilers means that 24 hours later would probably be perfect...

Correct. Only one 6pm and one 9pm (Irish Time) game is blacked out until Monday. After that there's no restrictions. Make sure you have scores turned off though to avoid any spoilers! And of course there's ways around the blackouts.

Perfect, worth splashing out on so I think! If only prem soccer had the same I'd be sorted...

They do if you "live" in certain countries.

I have been using GP since Christmas last year and am planning on renewing for next season.
I signed up roughly around Christmas 2014 and it cost me £30 (for the season plus option).
Reading back through my email it says my subscription will be renewed automatically on whatever date mid summer.
Was this low price down to the time of the year I initially subscribed and will my renewal price be the same as last year's or do you reckon I'll be charged the €180 as outlined in the prices for this year's version?

Brian017

Is €180 for Season Plus the best price I'm gonna get or should I wait a little while longer?

BaronVon

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

Wait for a discount code, normally a 15% one will be posted up here closer to the start of the season.

Yep. usually a code will be posted here or on the NFL UK forums.

adrian522

Yes, buying gamepass for the first time regardless

Got auto renew email, €120 on auto renew rather than €144.

Anyone seen a better price than that?

ha! I got an auto renew email too, €179.99. They can go and jump!

Was that for season plus? Mine is just the regular season.

Your NFL GAME PASS SEASON SUBSCRIPTION is set to auto renew on 1 August 2015 and at that time, your account will be billed USD 129.99 and your access to NFL action will begin. Want to watch now? You can purchase NFL Game Pass today at NFL.com/gamepass and your access will begin immediately.

This is just for regular season. I don't think I will auto renew. Prob best to go with discounts and Argentina and end up getting it for around 115 dollars. Not much difference but sure better than nothing.

yeah so just untick autorenew and then move to Argentina and find a discount code

JaMarcusHustle

I got the auto renewal too. For Season Plus Subscription, I'll be charged 3 installments of €49.99 (1 Aug, 1 Sept, 1 Oct).

I cancelled my auto renewal last year.

Might go for the instalment option, actually. Think I'll wait another bit and see if any discounts from the UK arise.

nasty_crash

is there a chromecast app on it at this stage or do you just play it through the laptop?

poldebruin

Yeah, I was offered auto renew for €179.99 (it was €144 last year) so that's that cancelled.

I just stream it from the app on my phone/ tablet. Works perfectly.

chromecast was working last season for it, although not always 100% reliable for me at least.

adrian522

There's an app on Xbox one if people have one of those, I found that very good last year.

nasty_crash

wonder if they are going to release a ps4 app this season - or if the chromecast works fine then thats the way i will go
