I'm back in, worked out at €119 for the full season! ( from the free upgrade from last year paying information Brazilian dollars!)

Nope not sure about it, I remember years ago when we were sharing an account, if another person logged in it would knock the other person off.

If you are watching a game, redzone, programme, etc on the laptop, afaik, you can send the url to another device and they can watch that (only) while you can flick through gamepass as normal.

If someone can test this out id appreciate it

So having done lots of googling in the last little while: No they have gamepass here but it doesn't include live games. Which is kind of the point of paying, I'd have thought. But anyway you are entitled to live preseason games, and can watch all games once they're over, including the shortened versions etc. You can also access all the other extras like Hard Knocks and what have you. So I guess it's not too bad, but not too great either. Being out of Bears broadcasting region means it's probably my best bet outside of going to a bar every single Sunday, or paying for DirectTV at 60 quid a month, which gives you live games on an app plus 100 channels worth of **** i dont need.

Try running it through a VPN. From what I can see the US Gamepass and the International one are the same thing just minus the live games. When I was in the US last year I loaded up the app but it wouldn't give me the live games until I turned the VPN on and then it was just like watching it at home.

Exact same thing for me. Signed up last year from Brazil (vpn) and got charged first installment yesterday (auto renew) but cannot access content.

Hi. Can someone confirm if blackouts still apply for games shown on sky sports? I've looked at the game pass website (yes blackouts apply) and contacted them (blackouts don't apply). Slightly confused. Thanks.

Blackouts still apply for the sky sports game for the regular season only this year. The playoffs won't be blackout games.

Yep. Was expecting the upgrade at the price I paid last year and now my account is showing no subscriptions and the new price of €179.99 for this season.

Maybe its just a waiting game??

setanta74

Just been reading over on NFLUK forums that Gamepass apparantly are now telling those that expected auto renewal at last years prices must now subscribe at the new full price and apply for a refund of the difference to what you paid last year.

What a mess. Not sure I want to bother now.

**updated...just got this from them (for the record..my card is fine and my bank said no attempt was made to take payment)

Thank you for contacting NFL Digital Care regarding your NFL Game Pass Subscription.

Our system will no longer attempt to auto-renew Game Pass accounts for the 2016 season. For fans who were 'opted-in' but whose billing was not successful (this can happen for many different reasons), there is still a way to receive auto-renew pricing (if eligible): simply purchase the product at full price at the NFL Game Pass site, and then get back to us, preferably with a screenshot of the email you received stating the auto-renewal price. Once we verify that you were opted-in, we will honor the renewal price and grant a partial refund for the difference.

This ticket is already in queue to be serviced over the next couple of days; we're waiting to hear back. We appreciate your patience, as this is a busy time of year for the NFL Digital Care team.

If thats what you had last year, game pass offered you the full season plus for the same price you paid last year...

Just a heads up if any of us are staying up. Red zone is back as there are six games tonight.

Great stuff will watch it over w/e. I ended up renewing via GBP so expect to save a few quid on Euro price. These cheaper auto renewals are for lads who had signed up via Brazilian Real last year right?

nasty_crash

Ok so just confirming some details on it before i sign up

There is no blackouts for the playoffs this year

There is still blackouts on the regular season games on Sky - can i get around this as i know that sky tend to show a good few of the packers games and that the main reason for the purchase.

Thanks for any advise

Get a VPN (I use UNblockUS) and watch on the laptop using it.

nasty_crash

even if i sign up through the uk or ireland - i can still use UNblockUS?

Like above use a VPN to side step blackouts but I find the free HOLA vpn plug in for chrome works.
All you do is connect Hola to your country of choice and load player and then once stream loads you can disconnect vpn

Yep. Far as I know anyway. It just spoofs the connection into thinking you're not in the UK/ Ireland.

I'm always wary of the Hola plugin I've heard dodgy reports of security. Mightn't be accurate though.

nasty_crash

i use hola and i havent noticed anythign major with it....

but if i can sign up by the uk - and get the sterling rate and then use a vpn to watch the blackout games then im absolutely going for it now!

Lads thanks for the advise

Yah me too...but in fairness i paid for a HideMyAss accountwhich was 60/70 lids the first year , but for what , the same thing that hola does for a few seconds then disconnect. If there is some chinese whiz kid accessing my google photos of my exciting life, he's welcome to em!

Does what it says on the tin!

I signed up in Brazilian Reals last year but later added on the playoff matches. My autorenewal came out as $199. I emailed pointing out that I was being penalised for getting an extra package. They weren't having any of it. Any suggestions?

Beefy78

Looks like they're hotter on VPNs and Hola this year. Will be interesting to see if that carries on into the season. I couldn't sign up through one at all so just had to bite the bullet and pay the full price this year (in GBP #Brexit)

Magico Gonzalez

Yeah, i bought the bullet and paid for it. 200 USD, in 4 installments, (thats the price in my current location).

Sat up watching the vikings pre season game til all hours last nights.

Same here 139.99 in GBP for me.

Never had Gamepass before so have a couple of questions.

I have Sky and watch as many of the 6pm and 9.30pm regular season games as I can, plus the playoffs/SB. I've very little interest in preseason games.

I was considering Gamepass but I'm generally happy to watch whatever is shown on Sky. Is it worth getting? Is Redzone the main benefit?

I was also considering a college football subscription, as opposed to using alternative methods of streaming the occasional college game, but again I'm not convinced it'd be worth it.
