Oh man. I feel this. As a Seattle based NBA fan, it's just repeated swift kicks to the nuts over and over again. My local team in the Blazers (thanks for that NBA) they are 3 hours away if I want to go to a game. But on league pass they are blacked out. But on NON-league pass, normal TV, they'll just play local hockey games if there's an overlap, because of course SEATTLE tv stations are going to play SEATTLE sports on TV if they have a choice. But the Blazers are still blacked out.

I only purchased the Warrior's games, and I don't blame League Pass for whatever is going on with Andrew Wiggins, but, even losing every road game, it would be fun to see Steph and Klay lighting it up in real time.

Lakers fan here in the Bay Area. I signed up for one season. Never again. About 2 games were legitimately local and blocked. Fine. Another 2 were blocked because they someone didn't realize that Sacramento was non-local. About 20-25 were nationally televised and not available. No recourse for a cord-cutter. About 5 were unavailable because logins didn't work. About 10 were ruined because they presented the score even though I repeatedly set the app/website to not set a score. About 20-25 were unavailable because Comcast or my work network would have a router in Fresno (200 miles away), and they would think I was in Los Angeles. And it doesn't include the 20 or so playoff games. That means, I saw like a total of 15 games. I legitimately want to give the NBA money to watch my team. But they aggressively worked hard to alienate fans and make a terrible product.

Very surprised to hear all this as in my experience it’s been the opposite with streaming sites constantly glitching and poor quality, it was the main reason I got league pass in the first place and I love it.

I don’t know how many PC gamers are here, but Gabe Newell, the CEO of Valve and Steam said it best. To paraphrase, he said piracy isn’t an issue of pricing, it’s an issue of availability. If you offer a service more convenient and reasonably priced, people will gladly pay for the convenience of having everything work. Steam has sales that offer you a lot of great games for cheap, and the games work without the bullshit of having to crack the game when you pirate it. I wish sports would take this approach. If there existed a streaming service that gave me all the football, basketball, baseball, and hockey games that are on and I can choose to watch whichever game I want, I’d pay like 40 or 50 bucks a month for that. The reality is with the illegal stream, I get every sport and all the games that are live so I can pick and choose what to watch. That’s all I want. I want a Spotify or Apple Music for sports. I don’t give a fuck about all the other channels that come with Hulu live or KZbin TV. I just want a sports stream.

Now for the start of the playoffs, the app was bugging on my Tablet, I was only able to watch the lower 10% of the screen, so I updated it in order to see if now I maybe can watch the playoffs.

I understand your premise, and I agree that the technology behind the app has no excuse to be that bad for a multibillion dollar corporation. The issue for league pass tho is that the NBA operates on a system that precedes fhe internet. Teams are responsible by and large for signing their own tv deals. This one of a teams biggest sources of revenue, especially in smaller markets. Moreover, local networks pay big dollars for these rights because it’s one of the only ways they can maintain eyeballs in todays era of internet streaming. Because the local networks have the rights to the game that the TEAM sold them (not the league), the league can’t show the game in that market. The right way to go about this I think would be for the league to plan for this in the next CBA so that they can buy back tv rights from each team as their deals expire and end this local blackout nonsense.

There is no where else where I can 'legally' watch all the games so I try to do the right thing being legal, but now I've just wasted my money on a broken app that won't play a single game.

Its tied up to the teams Regional Sports Networks so League Pass or MLB extra Innings will continue like this until teams do something different like the Clippers with their own independent Streaming option called Clippers Vision

I was watching on my Smart TV and everything was A OK. Then I had to go out and switched to my Android Tablet. Stupid NBA app kept saying it need location information when all the location permissions were already active. I reinstalled multiple times and now it's unusable on my android tablet.

League pass is terrible. I don’t care about the issues with the app, anything like that. It’s the fact no one has cable anymore. I can’t just throw on nationally televised games anymore. Every Single Matchup I wanted to see was never on game pass. Always end up watching someone’s stream online and eventually cancelled my subscription.

I have ESPN, TNT, and ABC so when it says inclusive of NBA TV or national games on ESPN, TNT, or ABC does that mean I can't watch any games on those services or does it only apply to the NBA TV app.

ooo all of these issues i have had. luckily im a heat fan in texas so i get to see most games. but national TV broadcasts and games against the spurs/dallas mavericks are when i need to use "other websites". The cherry on top is having to re-log in EVERY DAMN TIME. Also i know league pass knows my favorite team. it still asks me every time i have to log in which is all the time...anyways... DONT YOU THINK I WANT TO PLAY THE MIAMI HEAT'S BROADCAST IF I TOLD THE APP MY ONLY FAVORITE TEAM IS THE MIAMI HEAT? im always scared to change the broadcast because if i blink too fast the app will crash. i dont know why i still pay for this garbage.

I've got league pass in the UK so I can watch any game but I'm still so disappointed by how many bugs the app has. It's almost guaranteed every night I'll have to restart the app while watching a game because it's just turns into a stuttering mess. I would definitely not buy if I was in the US, not having national and local games is absolutely crazy, those would be the only games I'm interested in.

As a fan of many sports local blackouts are the worse, but it possible to stream every game and still have regional tv broadcasts. The MLS streams every game on Apple TV with no local blackouts and I could still flip on the local sports station to watch it. These leagues are just greedy.

I live 500 miles from Denver, 400 miles from Minneapolis, and 600 miles from Oklahoma City and I’m considered part of the TV market for all 3 teams. Thus, all of their games are blacked out and I can’t watch them…like ever. Thankfully, I’m a Clippers and Nets fan.

Facts. I can't watch Sun's games because of this local blackout. To me, local means I can get it with my antenna. Bally sports (who just filed for bankruptcy a few days ago, guess that NBA deal wasn't that great 😂) plays the games here and this channel isn't local when I need to pay for cable to get it. In California, the warriors games are played on NBC. A channel I could get with an antenna and a channel I don't need to pay a cable company to get. I cannot get though one game without buffering issues toward the end. You pay $99, $49, $14 depending on when and how you get it and you STILL have to look at ads, but you can pay more for no ads and watch on two screens at once! Wow!!!

About the second point, regional sports networks buy monopolies for the NBA teams in their media market. They are also dying because of people quitting cable, and the company that owns Bally Sports which owns most of the NBA regional markets is about to file for bankruptcy. Here's a good video about the issue. kzbin.info/www/bejne/any1XniJrq2Sfck Tldr: the NBA and other leagues will need to address the issue in the next year or two, and this will have significant effects for leaguepass users. Hopefully for the better but who fuckin knows

I entered a post and complained about all of this and then realized I was talking about League Pass on YOU TUBE TV which is much better than trying to watch the NBA through plain old You Tube. Sorry. But the NBA on You Tube is a stinking mess. Nearly impossible to find your game and lots of un-needed steps to re log in. You will find your game eventually and feel like a genius for doing so, because they don't make it easy. If you are out of market and it ends up being a NBA TV game I would suggest quitting before going down that rabbit hole. You Tube should not have taken this on without knowing what they were doing.

I'm having a major buffering issues lately. The browser app doesn't allow a person to select a lower quality stream, so whenever the servers have issues, there's nothing you can do, but try to deal with the severely degraded image quality. Half the time, I can't even tell where the ball is. It's infuriating.
