    The Super Bowl debacle and the pathetic response from Gamepass (10e discount next year) was the final nail in the coffin for me, and that was before all of the Corona Virus uncertainty.

    It is a far poorer service since they changed providers a couple of years ago. I miss being able to go back and watch any game, in full, from the previous 6/7 seasons.

    I'd forgotten about the superbowl debacle! My Sky box froze at the same time so I missed the crucial plays between 4 and 1 minutes left.

    I've just turned off autorenew now. I really hipe the season starts, which means Covid under control, but I think it's unlikely. Should be easy enough to get it again if I want

    Just received an email with details how to cancel auto renew so that option is there now for those who want to do it.

    Yeah, just cancelled the Auto-renew as well. Too much unknowns for me to commit.

    When should we have a better idea whether the season will go ahead or not?

    I'd say that's really up in the air. Knowing the Americans they will push it to the last minute to decide.

    I'm the same. If there's a season going ahead then I'll be happy to renew again but there's too many unknowns as you say.

    Small steps! Training camps begin in just over 2 weeks time. If they go ahead with little exposure to Covid, then the regular season has a good chance of going ahead. But we've already seen players getting together, 49ers for example, having players only training (only a handful of them) and 1 of them testing positive. If that happens all over various training camps, regular season will be in doubt for sure.
    Another good indication is baseball. If that starts like it should this week, and that has to stop suddenly after some weeks, no way NFL can go ahead. Very little contact in baseball compared to NFL!

    Lads, Florida had 15,300 new cases of coronavirus today. And I saw a CNN map showing which states had increased in cases and it's not good. Loughc I'm getting less and less confident of there being an NFL season.

    Yeah I just don’t see it happening. The greed to keep the American economy open will ultimately cost it in the long run.

    Heads up for anyone who signs up to Brazil cause I'm having a mare, do NOT turn off the auto-renew

    I signed up successfully for around €62 and could access everything fine but I was getting a renewal screen when I attempted to access Manage Your Account, I eventually got into manage my account which is the exact same as the UK version and it confirmed my subscription until 31 July 2021. I selected to turn off the auto-renew and it cancelled my subscription, no access to anything and I received an email confirming my subscription has been cancelled and that I would not be charged

    And of course the transaction has been presented/completed on my Revolut card so I'm down €62 and have to now contact Gamepass to demand a refund

    So gamepass has lapsed for me for the first time since 2012 because I'd turned off my auto renew. I have a free account now.

    First time for me since 2016. I just don’t see a season happening or happening in full.

    Although weirdly It still works on my old iPad. I just checked to see what this free account means and apparently on my old iPad it means as you were

    Edit: so it’s the webpage where you turn on and off the auto renew that seem to have reverted to a free account even though my debit card details are still there. It’s still working on my phone also. A strange one but I’ve no doubt they will stop tomorrow.

    I also let it lapse...but will probably renew when on field workouts start next week. It stopped working for me on 1st August, but last week started working again...full access! Still working as of now, Monday morning. If they had any sense they'd keep it running for existing customers until a couple of days before Week 1...then we'll know if the season will start for sure...which to me looks like it will.

    The sneaky feckers got my auto-renew through. Completely forgot about it and any mails went into junk mail.

    Albeit it's a renew for 100 quid so I obviously signed up through Greece or somewhere last year. We'll call it a draw

    I disabled auto-renew as the PS4 app refused to work. I tried deleting and re-installing and that didn't work.

    Not working for me anymore. It asks me to subscribe. I went to Brazil for a quick trip and when I click subscribe it's coming up as €86.99 for the year. My renewal price in the e-mail was €163.99, big difference there.

    Edit: it also says it includes a 7 day free trial.

    It's giving me 385 Brazilian which covers to 61e, so just check you are doing it correctly

    Would you recommend getting it? We done away with Sky in the house so it's looking likely I'll have to purchase come September.

    I'm in Brazil working for the time being, if I buy gamepass here and move back to Ireland in a few months will I have access to all features with an Irish IP address? Know it's been asked by other ex pats apologies.

    I moved over from SKY to GP last season and would highly recommend. You can’t beat the flexibility of being able to watch any game you want on GP vs the limited SKY schedule. It’s particularly useful if you follow a team and want to watch all of their games live.

    Ive cancelled. First time in maybe 5 years i wont have it. I have Sky Sports (nothing new there) so ill manage.

    Main reason is i dont think the season will be completed in a normal fashion. Maybe postponed games and lengthened season (time wise) or shortened season (number of games). I dont trust the company running this service to provide a refund in the event the season is severly impacted.

    Having said all this, ive cancelled auto renew in the past only to pay up again in September :)

    If they removed ads from the replays of the TV shows like archived americas game and a football life and brought live 4k games i wouldnt hesitate. Wont hold my breathe for either in the next few years
