    Some of us who had gamepass last season had to watch large chunks of games on dodgy streams because gamepass wasn't working. It got so bad that they had to give a April refund to every subscriber.

    I'll be unsubscribing as soon as available for numerous reasons.


    Had one or two times it kicked me out but on the whole, my service was great. The old app was far superior

    Even with the glitch I will be subscribing again

    I must have been one of the few people that had little to no problems. Had no issues casting from my phone or laptop and no issues streaming all year. Still very much plan to renew for the coming year.

    The big thing for me is having the night games (condensed versions) available to download by 7am so I can watch on my commute and too often last season, especially early on, this wasn't the case. They did sort it out eventually but I'm not going to be happy if the same issues arise this season too.

    Yah i could understand that alright. You'd think they will have it sorted, but new year, new teething problems....

    I wish you could force the bit rate the games are played through , casting and all aside i like to hook my laptop up via hdmi and used to be ideal to max it out

    Didn't get it last year as I didn't trust a new provider. Given the chaos many experienced, I'll be giving it a miss this year as well.

    New Features. New Content.

    This offseason we conducted our largest ever NFL Game Pass fan survey across Europe. We asked for your input and heard your feedback. In order to provide a premium NFL experience at your fingertips, we’ve focused on the top recommendations. Here are some of the improvements to Game Pass Pro we’re most excited about.

    Better Performance

    We know fans never want to miss a moment of the action. We are committed to ensuring that the Game Pass site and apps are stable and running smoothly. In the offseason, we prioritised the performance of NFL Game Pass to always ensure you’re at the centre of the action.

    Pay With Instalments

    We’ve heard fans tell us paying one payment at the start of the season isn’t always possible. This season, with NFL Game Pass Pro, fans can now pay with 4 affordable monthly payments. While you can still renew your subscription in full, the choice is now yours.

    Introducing Watch With RedZone

    A new in-game experience for NFL Game Pass Pro subscribers: ‘watch with RedZone’. This means on one device, you can watch a live game alongside NFL RedZone with improved split screen functionality. This is exclusive to NFL Game Pass Pro subscribers in Europe and an exciting enhancement in 2018.

    Exclusive Content

    While we continue to add great NFL content all offseason, we have something special coming soon: NFL Game Pass Film Sessions. This 5-part series is an inside look at how the NFL’s best prepare each and every week. The full-length episodes, exclusive to NFL Game Pass, will be available starting 3rd August across Europe. New episodes will be released every Friday throughout August.

    A More Personalised Product

    This season, enable your favourite team to feature more prominently on your homepage by tagging them on the site. This way, their highlights are first in your feed with more team customisation still to come. In addition, ensure you’re watching NFL Game Pass on the device that suits you best. As a reminder, you can access NFL Game Pass on up to 5 devices at the same time. In 2018, this will also include the relaunched apps on PS4 and Xbox, along with mobile, tablet, desktop and more.

    What do you need to do?

    Nothing! All we ask is that you keep enjoying NFL Game Pass and get ready for the upcoming season. However, if you prefer not to return for the 2018 season, you will be able to do so. We will be sending further information via email detailing the steps to amend or cancel your auto-renewal preferences on 1st July, 2018.

    If you have any further questions, please visit our FAQs here.

    Let’s get ready for some football!

    No, but iit has to be a most exciting season for Packers followers.

    Huge changes and that’s not a thing that happens often in Titletown.

    Could bomb, it definitely will be worth watching.

    On the payments page, it says full price is $179.99 and by instalments it's 4 x $45 so no penalty for paying in instalments it seems.

    I have a question though about the price. My renewal email says "We are pleased to share that the 2018 full season price for Game Pass Pro will remain unchanged based on the 2017 full season listed price." The key phrase there being '2017 full listed price". Can anyone tell me what the full listed price was? I paid $134.99 but that was a carryover from the previous year so I'm just wondering how much more they're going to charge me this season.

    EDIT - or if you're in euros, €159.00 or 4 x €40

    States €159.99 in the e-mail I got. I don't know how much that is in $

    Here's a response I just received from them.

    "Thanks for contacting NFL Game Pass Europe.

    You will be receiving an email within the next hour or so which will explain, but the reduced fee of $139.99 paid last season was because you were on a Follow Your Team legacy discounted plan, which has now come to an end.

    For the coming season the renewal price for the Pro plan in Ireland will be the 2017 fee of $179.99."

    Was the full price last season really $179.99?

    Just cancelled mine now. I paid $134.99 last season but being charged $179.99 or €159.99 this season. Too much of a jump, especially considering the problems last season. The lack of loyalty to existing customers is what's annoying me the most.

    Such a nerve them calling this a price freeze when in reality most people are being charged more because they were on legacy pricing.

    Just checked my pricing email from last year. £105.99 vs £139.99 this year. I've no issue paying that price but I do have an issue with them positioning it as a price freeze. Snotty tweet sent.

    That’s my issue too. I’d say a large percentage of subscribers are repeat subscribers on some sort of legacy contract so more people than not are being asked to pay more this year. Yet they pass it off as a price freeze. Chancers!

    My auto renew email says it will auto renew at €179. If i go to the website, it shows annual cost is €159. Anyone know the reason for the disparity?

    Are you sure it’s not $179.99? That’s what mine was.

    I'm happy enough to go with the 4 installments of €40 to be honest. At least that way I don't fell like I'm giving out a wedge from the get go. This may be my best/only option next season to watch games also.
