International fans..(gamepass)

[Smellyman]

Getting tired of finding the cheaty streams online that are hit and miss.

Anybody use the NFL game pass to watch all games Live? Seriously considering it and it looks pretty awesome. Just wanted some first hand feedback...

 

[Thaihawk]

Yeah, Gamepass is good. I used it last year and signed up again this year. As long as your internet connection is decent you will get a nice clear picture. You can watch live or later with the commercials cut out. You also get redzone and nfl network that you can watch anytime. Overall, I was happy with it.

 

[Hawkspur]

It's fantastic. Up to 4 games simultaneously live or if you're watching delayed they edit out all of the commercial breaks. I'd recommend the most expensive package as you can access gamss (back to 09 season) and NFL Network shows up until 31st July. This will be my fourth season with it now.

It's great... apart from when the game is on local TV (such as Sky here in the UK) and it gets blacked out.
Then you can watch it on Sky I guess if you have it (which I don't), but it's still a pain in the arse, as I had to watch both playoff games on a crappy stream

I don't have Sky either. Had to watch crappy stream for Skins but my 2nd son was born during the 4th quarter of the Falcons game so I had to watch that one delayed.

I'm pretty sure that the blackouts only apply to UK, Ireland & Canada.

No games covered locally here, so nothing will be blacked out.

I was thinking the most expensive one too since the cheaper package gets cut off after the regular season and would then need to buy the playoff package. I understand that the premium package covers the playoffs?

Yep, but not in the UK

I'm moving back to NZ soon, though, so will get the full benefit then. I've PM'd you about a discount, BTW.

They do complimentary passes as well if & when you see it advertised, I signed up for one last season & got the full package. Even if I had to pay its well worth it.

 

[theENGLISHseahawk]

I've used gamepass for the Seahawks games for five years. The service originally was flawed - a real pain in the arse. Some games wouldn't work. I was getting refunds galore. Thankfully over the last couple of years they've got their act together and there have been zero issues.

If you're prepared to pay the lofty price I'd recommend it, particularly with the firstrow website getting blocked in the UK thanks to the Premier League. The price is high but worth it to watch every game.

Absolutely the best thing to do for international fans like us. :th2thumbs:

This will be my 3rd year on it and it really is an exceptional service. On demand every game of the regular season, in HD, you just can't go wrong. I watch ever Seahawks game, mainly live. For the price of maybe two or three night s out drinking, it really is great value. Just make sure you have a decent internet connection to avoid any tech issues related to to the streaming.

I have been using gamepass for the last five years. I think it is the best solution for international fans.
The archived games which you can wahtch on-demand help you through the months without any football action.

Americans would give their left nut to have access to football like we have with gamepass. In fact, many are using using software to mask or alter their IP address so they can use it. I connect my mac to the TV via an HDMI cable and it is HD quality.

Only bummer is I'm about 5-10" behind when I watch live. I can't participate in chat because everyone is going crazy from the play before. Also, I'm always "that guy" on gameday forum posting for the 2nd, 3rd, 69th time, the same subject.

I'm in the UK and am a big fan of the other football. The coverage of the Premier League in the US is infinitely better than what we can get here. I support a fairly high profile team and would still have to subscribe to 2 cable/satellite tv companies to have access to about a quarter of the team's games. And that is all that is available by legal means whilst still paying a small fortune. I am considering the IP address thing too.

I use Hidemyass (legal) and StrongVPN is also highly regarded. You'll need a fast internet connection as you will be getting your signal from Europe-to America and back to Europe.

Awesome. I'll definitely look into that. Are you sure that a site called Hidemyass is legal?!

 

[falcongoggles]

Yes, it is very legal. The ass is actually a donkey. Just a play on words.

TIL that Game pass isn't available to americans. Learn something new every day.

 

[fridayfrenzy]

One thing you want to keep in mind is that some games are not available depending on where you live.

If you live in Canada, then you won't be able to watch SNF, MNF games and all playoff games live. They will be available in the archive afterwards.

If you are from the UK, then you won't get live playoff games.

 

[LyndseyG]

Yeah, I've got GamePass too!

I used it to watch the draft this year. I liked it.

This is my first season using it.

 

[Smellyman]

purchased.

watching NE and SEA now.

Thanks to Hawkspur for the hook up
