Xbox's deal with NFL is more devious than we could have ever imagined (in a good way)

[King Sun]

You know all sony has to do is offer a soccer package and it would be a wrap anyway. Shows all m$ care about is the US market

It's a cool deal, same deal Direct TV was offering last year to the whole world.

Sucks that you have to be a new subscriber to directTV to get the free Sunday Ticket

 

[ltheghost]

Congratulations Xbox One.....right? I'm still not sold. But hey it is a cool feature. Great.

Yo I knew Rekka most of all would be furious. These nikkaz need help. Log off!!!
Look at this shyt yo...

nikka, I have had Sunday Ticket and Sunday Ticket max for 9 years now.

Oooh you got me there

What you are getting is the app to watch it on pcs, tablets, phone. You are not getting the Sunday Ticket APP to watch it fullscreen on your TV numnuts.

Is that right

You either have to have DirecTV or the PS3 app (the shyt where you pay hundreds).

I'm just reading lie after lie and its

Now you can output the image from your laptop if you have an HDMI out on your laptop to your TV, but the image quality takes a hit of course.

So an HDMI out would degrade the image?

What this shows is YOU only care about sony products to the point you are ignorant to anything outside of that limited universe. Microsoft already said they will be doing the same thing for every sport that they are doing with the NFL. In the meantime, anyone with an Xbox has been watching soccer/futbol on it for YEARS. Like 4/5yrs. Let me personally show you how it works (and in 1080p which you can't get on cable)

I'd appreciate if you read the OG post instead of skimming, but this deal allows you to watch the full direct TV and you don't need to be a subscriber.
$40 and you eat, you just can't use this deal in conjunction with the PS3 app like you did last year.

I know, its odd. Hence why this thread is titled the way it is

If you buy the anniversary edition of Madden this year for 100 bucks, you get Sunday Ticket Max which is Sunday Ticket PC access (usable on tablets, phones as well). It does not cover the PS4 App which is full blown Sunday Ticket just like the TV subscription. With the TV subscription you have to pay extra for Sunday ticket max (usually 99 dollars) in addition to the 2 to 3 hundred you pay for regular sunday ticket (non HD). You have to pay for max to get the games in HD and the PC access which the Madden anniversary gets you access too.

So with me being a sunday ticket subscriber, I can pay for "basic" sunday ticket and use the max code to access the PS4 app and get my TV games in HD since I'm already a Sunday Ticket subscriber. DTV treats the PS3 as a "pc" so in order for me to access Sunday Ticket on it, I have to pay for Sunday Ticket Max.

Yes Rekka, we understand how the current set up is. And what you are doing is applying what you know currently to this NEW DEAL. I've already dissected and shown how you was wrong via every single whimper you keep cranking out. Just stop it now, its embarrassing

See pal, in the very first post of this thread I dropped this jewel which obviously you didn't read. I don't understand why you post so much without even seeing the facts. Is it cuz

Madden's TV Offer is the Deal That Dares Not Speak Its Name

Lets see what this deal that dares not speak it is all about (you notice the weird title of that article? It goes into why your a bitter fakkit)

Last week, Madden NFL 25 announced an "Anniversary Edition" that at first didn't seem like it had much to offer. Then word started to circulate in an officially unofficial way that a promo code could be used to watch DirecTV's Sunday Ticket NFL broadcast on a PC, with or without signing up with the satellite provider.

Well, this being Madden, this being big bad Electronic Arts and, more relevantly, this being the NFL and its less-than-consumer-friendly TV policies, few believed it. After all, the official news release doesn't straight up say this is how you can use the offer, which seems to be more about giving a discount toward a DirecTV subscription. The code, which gives Sunday Ticket access on PC, tablet or mobile phone, is referred to more or less as an alternative for those who cannot receive DirecTV service. Considering DirecTV has 35 million subscribers, there would seem to be few in America who can't get it, but it's true in the case of dorm rooms and some apartment buildings where you can't mount a dish.

So, through the past week word spread that this was going to be a screwjob. You'd buy a hundred-dollar Madden and be unable to use the thing you really wanted because DirecTV would know, by zipcode or IP address or whatever, that its service was available to you.

I'm not ordinarily in the business of policing special edition offers but this one, being enticing to me on a personal level (I have no cable or satellite TV but watch a ton of sports over the Internet), was interesting enough I went to the man putting his name on this unofficially official offer: Anthony Stevenson, Madden's top marketer.

I asked Stevenson if I could use this code to watch Sunday Ticket on my iPad even if I had no intention of signing up with DirecTV.

"There is a unique code in every single anniversary edition, and that code will entitle you to the 17-week full-season trial on PC, tablets and mobile devices," Stevenson said, and I started grinding my teeth.

Why can't we get a simple yes or no?

"We absolutely understand there is some confusion with the language, and how it is written," he said. "To bring this great deal to life—it's very complex and complicated, involving the NFL and its television partners, and DirecTV. The reason is because everyone's interests have to be protected and this has to be written in a certain way."

There's a lot of reading between the lines here. So I'll say what Stevenson could not above: Sunday Ticket is not a thing greatly loved by networks that have paid billions-with-a-b to broadcast Sunday afternoon games. To straight-up invite people to ditch a television set altogether and watch this stuff online, while it may be within the terms of DirecTV's deal with the NFL, is a provocation to its biggest licensing partners. Hence the unofficially-official offer, and the heavily lawyered wording of the news release and the line Stevenson must toe.

The "unable to get DirecTV service" thing is just a fig leaf that allows DirecTV to put out this service, and then let you figure out how to exploit it. You self-select whether or not you have DirecTV access. Protip: Say you do not. Really, how is it going to know? It doesn't matter if there's a contractor in the area to connect you. Maybe you have a landlord that won't allow you to mount a dish to the house you rent.

This is how it works when you use the Sunday Ticket app on the PlayStation Network (note: This offer does not give you access to the PS3's app.) Sunday Ticket on a mobile device is otherwise only possible if you sign up for the deluxe "Sunday Ticket Max" package, which requires a DirecTV subscription. This is a code that essentially breaks off that feature and gives it to you for $40 above Madden's cost. <-----------------------
Madden special editions have been, candidly, kind of a snooze up to now. They get a different, sometimes prettier cover and some exclusive in-game content, usually for the Ultimate Team mode (and there's a bunch of that in the Anniversary Edition, too.) This, though, has legitimate value. I almost pulled the trigger on getting Sunday Ticket on the PS3 last year, but didn't, because I work weekends and my lone TV is in a room well away from my office. That changes if it's on my iPad here at my desk. No extra TV, no cable or satellite subscription.

Rekka, please provide a few more of those passionate tears.
I'm saying tho, you could of just checked the links instead of crying like some sore loser. Aren't you the internet task force on links and how old they are?

I know you didn't just overlook it did you? Let me quote this fakkit one mo'gin...

You are clearly so go ahead.....

Nah bruh, Clearly

you finally got a modern tv plus a camera

Are you gonna finally shut the fukk up after being exposed for being a bitter bytch?

Hi StarClout. Let me help you cry harder. Its always better to cry with someone with you.
@Liquid @Kodie @diggy [MENTION]Mighty_Healthy[/MENTION]
In fact, lets take it a step farther.. @bk [MENTION]Brooklyn_Zoo[/MENTION]

So you been a ST (sunday Ticket) subscriber for almost a decade followed by a ""

I guess that makes you a parter then. Did Direct TV sign off on a deal and not let you in on there intentions?

Real Talk, as much as I enjoy the fact that this has yall nikkaz furious. This is a deal and a steal. $40 for Sunday Ticket. So the fine members of The-Coli will eat off this. You are over here trying to lie to this community. You and Rekkapryde. When does the "its just jokes" go too far tho?

Because you have a console bias, lets lie to literally anyone who will listen? Thats how yall want this place ran? I'm certain most posters are sick and tired of you and your type. Your not good for the community, you really not. I'd have you banned for this if I had any say in matters like this (Tru Story)

you showed a espn ep with highlights and shorts not full fledged games. smh at you thinkg you proved a point

Bruh, you don't understand what the ESPN app is
I didn't stand there and record the entire match for you? What, you thought you was about to watch Brazil vs Spain replay via my youtube recording

I figured you didn't need to see anymore. What they have is every game on replay. Not just from the Premire league, but EVERY LEAGUE. Still up on demand to watch at anytime. I can seriously show you, go to it just like I did last time, then let the match start up for a second. If I do all that, will it matter to YOU tho?

If thats something that will make you put down the fanboy schtick, I'm all for it

When you saw FIFA on the screen, that was the opening video ESPN shows before any match starts up. People who actually watch sports know this. Tell fatboi you said hi
