eball Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Did your rep give you the code or whatever it is you need to get it? Nope -- got a response from her today that the information will be "arriving soon."
Peter Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Nope -- got a response from her today that the information will be "arriving soon." Great. Thanks. I had not received anything from them yet. I thought maybe I missed it.
GunnerBill Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) I read that what used to be called "NFL Game Rewind" is now called "NFL Game Pass". There is also the international version of NFL Game Pass, which I've been using for the last 3 or 4 years. I'm assuming it'll be the same thing in the states and overseas. I've absolutely loved the service, but it's really expensive for the international version. The first year was free. (So I could become addicted/dependent.) Last year they started charging for it. $99 to follow your one team during the pre and regular season $129 to watch every teams pre and regular season games $199 to watch every game including playoff and superbowl You can watch the games live or on-demand with the coaches film option. For me, it's a no-brainer getting it, since there is no other way to watch my beloved Bills. For you guys up in the States, I have no idea if it's smart to get, or not. It sounds like $69 is incredibly cheap. Let's go Buffalo! Oh, here's a little blurb I just read about it... http://www.macrumors.com/2015/07/20/nfl-game-pass-on-demand-access-apple-tv/ The same. I did the $129 option last year as the post-season is all available live on UK tv anyway. Edited August 5, 2015 by GunnerBill
PromoTheRobot Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Hmm...I don't know if it's worth it. That said, they're doing a free trial right now so I might binge They aren't going to allow you to see live regular season games at that price. That's what Sunday Ticket is for. It's still worth having.
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 They aren't going to allow you to see live regular season games at that price. That's what Sunday Ticket is for. It's still worth having. Yeah, I was just hoping that the deal with yahoo could have helped cut out the middleman. They clearly have the capacity to do it if they can do preseason games, and live for people in the UK. I do think it's going to be cheaper in the US though. Preseason was what, $15, and forty for all teams, never mind just one.

John from Riverside Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Just want to clarify Did they kill the pre season package that was ultra cheap? I enjoyed that.
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Just want to clarify Did they kill the pre season package that was ultra cheap? I enjoyed that. I think so, but I'm so desperate I might do it anyway.
plenzmd1 Posted August 5, 2015 Author Posted August 5, 2015 Just want to clarify Did they kill the pre season package that was ultra cheap? I enjoyed that. yes
Thurmal34 Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Right, so I confirmed with NFL cust support today that preseason live is no longer available as a standalone. Best bet IMO if you do not want to pay the $70 is to free trial the first game vs. Carolina, watch Browns game on nat TV, and then go on vacation so as not to worry about the other two games.
MyDogLuvsPB Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Do you know if it's including live games? I've gotten Rewind the last two years, but not being able to watch live is aggravating. I believe it's live in other countries but I don't know if the Yahoo thing has opened the door or not. No, none of the regular season games are live. I don't think they ever will be until the NFL dissolves it's monopolistic relationship with DirecTv. Two years ago when Madden 25 came out, if you bought a certain select edition of the game from Amazon for $99, you were given a code to watch any game live. Wow, that was so worth it and hoped that they would continue that the following year but it was not to be. I was going to buy the game anyway.
PromoTheRobot Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Anyone get their free promo code to sign up? The Panthers game is just 5 days away. What is the NFL waiting for?
Augie Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Did your rep give you the code or whatever it is you need to get it? And if so, would you like to share that code with us? I mean, there's only a few of us... What could go wrong?
PromoTheRobot Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 And if so, would you like to share that code with us? I mean, there's only a few of us... What could go wrong? It's just funny that Game Pass is touted as a free perk of being a STH, but the league waits till the very last second to release the code that gives you the service you are entitled to.
HurlyBurly51 Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) And if so, would you like to share that code with us? I mean, there's only a few of us... What could go wrong? Can a season ticket holder give the code to an out of market friend if they don't use that perk, and if so will it work for the out of market friend? Just wondering if they employ some type of unique identifier/location technology to prevent this. Edited August 10, 2015 by HurlyBurly51
Tsaikotic Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 I sent my ticket rep an email this morning asking about whether the Game Pass will be provided to ST holders. What others have already said in this thread appears to be correct, however -- there is no longer the Preseason standalone subscription and everything has been combined into Game Pass. that sux..I usually get the preseason live so I can watch the Bills preseason games..I work nights so I cant watch them live...I have Sundays off so I can watch reg. season live...guess Ill have to get a dvr and record the preseason...thx for the info, I was trying to figure out what happened to it..lol
eball Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 And if so, would you like to share that code with us? I mean, there's only a few of us... What could go wrong? Pretty sure each code can only be activated once.
plenzmd1 Posted August 11, 2015 Author Posted August 11, 2015 emailed with folks from Bills yesterday, they are still waiting for codes from NFL. I guess worst case scenario is we sign up for the 7 day trial on Thursday. BTW, NFL charged my account even after i sent them mail to not renew.Check you CC statements for folks like me who paid for this last year.

Question: if you got just the $20 preseason package last year, will it auto-renew you for the $100 version this year???
