[League Pass] Fans can now purchase 4th quarter of NBA games

is league pass owned by EA Sports? punk b****es

 

I actually disagree.

I mean obviously, if you can't afford it, but still want it, r/nbastreams works for sure.

But if you can afford the extra value/service, League Pass is way better. Much faster switching between streams, easier on mobile, you can go back and watch games very easily from a day ago to months ago, etc.

The only thing I hate about league pass is that it doesn't stream the nationally televised stuff (or your local area... though I'm not in Houston... hence really needing it). I mean, I'm not asking them to not show me commercials. I'm just asking them to use their technology to pick up the exact TNT or NBATV broadcast and just stream that to me like they do it otherwise. Include the commercials. The only viable complaint I can see to this is execs maybe thinking a dude watching on TV is less likely to switch the channel during a commercial. But the reality is that's not true... it's the opposite for me. I'm way more likely to switch during commercials on the TV. When streaming, I still switch between games, but not as frequently because it's not quite as easy as a cablebox process at the moment (got to find the other game you want to watch, click on it, wait for a load, not be sure exactly when to switch back to the other game, etc.).

As for the 4th quarter thing, well it's useless to me. I want to watch the Rockets, so need the whole game. But even beyond that, I actually watch more 1st quarters than 4th quarters, of both Rockets games but other teams, too. Just to get a feel for what's happening in that game at that time. Then sure, I'll come back and check out the end of close games. So I get what they're going for. But I already pay for the whole thing, so doesn't really matter. If I didn't pay for the whole thing, I'd almost prefer just a daily pass to catch every game for a day... like for $4...

 

Is this $1.99 each fourth quarter you buy? Seems like a rip off to spend 1.99 for 30 minutes everytime. they need to sell this as a package. Or they need something similar to red zone.

 

that's cheaper than when I had to pay $15 a month for a Bulletin Board service to download 1970's pron on a 240 bauds modem back in the late 1980's. And I had to do it on the school's computer because it was too expensive per hour at home.
