NFL NFL Gamepass

Yep. I was in Chicago last year and couldn't be bothered catching a cab a half hour out of the city to a bar that would have the Raider game on, so I watched it in my hotel through an Aussie VPN. Worked a treat, no lag or disruption in quality of picture or sound either.

That's all well and good but you miss out on the experience of a raiders bar room brawl.

I've been to Ricky's in San Leandro which is the best Raider bar in America, and at one time was rated by Sports Illustrated as the #2 sports bar in all of America. But the Raider bar in Chicago was out in the suburbs, so it wouldn't be easy for me to get a taxi back into Downtown. Not to mention at the time there were a lot of riots around a cop shooting a black man. So I wasn't necessarily willing to go alone to the outer suburbs of Chicago (i.e. one of the highest crime rates in the USA) wearing Raider colours. I'll take a rain check on that one

sparkyblue Is there a trick to getting the pricks at NFL digital to answer emails?

Emailed them 2 weeks ago, got the bounceback saying they'd answer within "a business day". Got a reply 6 days later (a form/template reply) that didn't even nearly answer my question, replied... 8 days later, still haven't heard shit back.

What the **** is going on over there that they've removed all the choices with Gamepass, they only offered some people last seasons price and the free upgrade, and they can't be arsed replying to emails?

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

It's a conspiracy

 

[nobbyiscool]

Yeah, thanks for the help.

I wouldn't have thought it unreasonable to ask for help when you received an email saying they'd reply within a business day, and 2 weeks later your question still hasn't been answered.

The real answer is.....massive corp like NFL does not bother with some fan (especially some foreign fan). It's common knowledge to ignore fans comments and suggestions. Sure, give them a forum, a voice, but just largely ignore it. The massive corp think-tank did a lot of marketing/analysis and determined it best to get rid of options...for whatever reason, the stats or ideas from other competitors. They have people on 80k a year, with degrees in business and media, who have come up with some forward plan. They're not going to suddenly listen to a lone beer-guzzling fan who says, "bring back options".

Did you opt out of the auto renew?

 

[Kram]

If you could buy just 1 teams regular season games for say less than $100 I'd be interested otherwise just having 3 games a week and playoffs on Fox is enough for me.

 

[nobbyiscool]

Did you opt out of the auto renew?

Nope. I suspect the problem is going to end up being that I didn't subscribe til about week 5 last season (after the first price drop, and after it became clear that there'd be no promo codes) - still, it'd be nice for them to respond in a manner that actually answers my question.

On the NFL Game pass.

It seems to be possible to buy the Game pass via iTunes and therefore use discounted iTunes cards....anyone done this?

 

[quotemokc]

I know that I cannot watch games live with Gamepass when I am in the US but will I still be able to use it as normal for replays?

On the mobile app*

Roaming charges, hello?!! Make sure to use wireless over there. And, I don't know the answer to your question.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply that.

FYI....
I downloaded the NFL Game Pass app from iTunes and went through the steps to get to the price to subscribe.... It is telling me the price via Apple is $319.99! On the NFL site it is telling me $259.99 (is this AUD or USD??).

If it is AUD then using the 20% discounted iTunes cards means you are paying roughly the same price as the NFL website price! So in other words Apple are doing a 20% mark up on the price to catch those using discounted iTunes cards....and are making a nice profit on those people using full priced cards.

That has always been Apple's shtick though - charging 20% more on iTunes for convenience. Officeworks is the only place to get reliable 20% off vouchers.

Only know this because I use to spend a little too much on mobile gaming.

its because Apple are campaigners and put a surcharge on IAP, thats why more and more apps/subscriptions are removing IAP subs. because of the Apple surcharge.

Remember the Auto renew will be in a few days. Last years subscription email says Aug 1, but the free upgrade email says Aug 5.

I had to update my credit card details since the old one had expired, so check credit details also.
