[Dude]

Don’t see anything new here. I had the NFL.com package they offered with full pre-season, season and post season some years ago, for mobile mostly. It was something like 200 bucks if I remember correctly.

Sounds more like a re-launch.

 

[Battlelyon]

Lame as fuck

 

[BigFin]

Couldnt this be AirPlayed onto a smart tv?

 

[Southieinnc]

Is that all there is?

 

[Debbie Does]

Right. Pay more to only get local games on a fuckin' phone screen? Go to a bar wherever you are and watch what you want.

It's more for people that live in say Seattle and want to watch the Patriots every week. It's basically the old directTV Sunday NFL package only just for mobile. But of course mobile doesnt mean what it used to because you just throw it on your TV. And it costs a shit ton less.

I dont understand how anyone would but Sunday Ticket now with this offering. Probably slightly harder to switch games back and forth. But for $200 in savings a year, it would seem to be the way to go. Especially if you are really only getting Sunday Ticket mostly to watch your team every Sunday if you live out of market. It would seem it really undercuts that package.

 

[Dude]

If I remember correctly, yes, you can share to a larger screen or TV with airplay or other apps. But, the quality of the streaming will suffer depending on data plan and because it goes through the phone.

 

[fastforward]

Buy a decent 2nd-hand desktop, (i5 processor, 8GB RAM, HDMI out), and an HDMI lead. Then all you really need to stream is a decent internet speed.

 

[Dean_Youngblood]

Hmmm... doesn't look like the full "sunday package". Only get to stream your local team during the regular season? Even with NFL+ premium, you only get access to game replays, not the live games.

You only get local games so you're only able to watch what would be on TV in your area. It's just now you get the ability to watch it on your phone or tablet.

What would interest me is if you can trick it with a VPN to show games out of your market that you set your VPN's location too.

The second thing that interest me is if the above method works can you have a device or TV with Andriod TV, put the app on it with an apk, and watch it fine on the TV.

no its not unless u like watching games after they are over Only local game is live so just turn on a stinking tv

 

[DHoey]

I will probably buy it. Our antennae reception is spotty and comes in and out sometimes. Would be nice to airplay from the ipad and not have to worry. It's embarrassing AF when people are over and you have shitty reception.

Again FOX is free on the internet to everyone for 1 hour. What you get is whatever it thinks is your local market based on your IP address. (VPNs do fool it). If your games are on FOX what you're buying is avoiding the inconvenience of changing device or IP address after the 1st hour and then changing it back after the 2nd hour. I can understand people paying $40 or $80 per year to avoid that.

Alternatively there are multiple streaming sites with hacked GamePass/FOX/CBS streams.

I think you may be misunderstanding? Or perhaps I am. This only covers local and primetime games. Sunday Ticket only covers out of market games.

Or am I misunderstanding? I looked at the package and the price and was about to go all in before I realized it's only for local and primetime games which I can watch on tv.

Or am I reading that wrong?

if you are correct. Can you use a VPN to make it seem like you are local somewhere else with this package (if anyone knows)

Sorry dude, I have no idea. I get the Sunday ticket because I'm in SoCal and want to watch the Patriots. It's kinda stupidly expensive but it works. If there were other options to watch the Pats I'd jump all over it. This service doesn't seem to cover that.

I'm wondering if this new NFL service is stage one of replacing Sunday Ticket.

i doubt it since they plan on charging apple tv 3 billion per year for the sunday ticket
another little caveat with all these apps is u need to have a tv provider (like direct tv or cable) to stream these games I know espn+ does this

 

[Southieinnc]

No different than gamepass and I already have that. I'm used to watching recorded games and I like to watch next weeks opponent, etc.
If it's a big game and I have to watch it live, I can go to a bar.Costs me nothing since I never drink and drive.

 

[redseat]

Everything is freaking "+" now, wtf
