Came here to give the referee a 1. Leaving disappointed.

Not sure I'd let him near the U18s, personally.

For those who are avid FM players, at this point am I better off waiting until November 2 to get FM19? Or worth it to pick up FM18 now?

Too bad this one wasn't shown on the broadcast. We got one supporter in front of the flag sandwiched between shots of two full bars of Man U fans. Oh well, we're just little old Leicester.

Co-sign. The stream was completely out for the Everton game last season for almost half the game. I emailed customer support and the response I got was (paraphrasing): "We're working on it. After it's done you can watch the replay anytime!" Gee, thanks.

Awesome. That is sharp.

I may have read something wrong, but I believe you can still stream the televised games as you could in the past, through the regular NBC Sports app or online, with a cable subscription. The non-televised games are through the NBC Sports Gold app/site.

In one sense I've been thrilled to be able to watch literally every Premier League game for no additional cost through DirecTV. And if I had not been able to there's no way I would have wound up a Leicester fan. In another with the way the league has exploded over here, it was probably only a matter of time. The accessibility was always credited as one of the biggest reasons for the gaining popularity. I mean to watch all MLS games you have to pay $80 per season, and the production is quite poor compared to what NBC does. The Bundesliga has also been very difficult to follow because FOX sticks almost everything behind a paywall and their coverage stinks. We'll see what happens from here on out...

Here is a better analysis of this move, credit to @Detroit Blues for posting it in the USA Foxes thread: http://deadspin.com/nbc-has-totally-****ed-its-premier-league-coverage-1796466439

I believe they still are, but only if it's being broadcast on a television channel (NBC, NBCSN). If it is not on one of those channels you'll now be required to pay $50 and use the NBC Sports Gold service.

Reading further into this, if the game is not on tv, this gold streaming service will be the only way to see the game. The extra time channels are being cut and the streams will no longer be available. But if you don't have a tv sub you don't get the NBC, NBCSN, etc games. Not good. Also sounds like a nightmare for bars that show the games.

Uhhh...did you guys see this? http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/soccer/nbc-sports-english-premier-league-soccer-online-streaming-free-paid-subscription-cable-tv-20170627.html
