Recently, GamePass has migrated to DAZN. We, the customers of NFL GamePass are extremely dissatisfied with the loss of quality and features.
For many of us, the DAZN broadcasting experience makes watching the NFL unattractive.
We are urging the NFL to take back ownership of the GamePass and continue providing a high-quality product.
This is a (not necessarily comprehensive) list of things that DAZN is missing in comparison to the former GamePass.
1. No possibility to download games to own device
2. Advertising before streams - Highly annoying and not understandable for Paid TV
3. All 22 tape missing entirely
4. 30 seconds forward / backward navigation - Not only is this unhandy for football games (10 seconds is much better), even worse using the feature has a tendency to crash the stream, requiring a complete restart
5. Stream quality - Bad quality streams reported such as only Full HD resolution despite good bandwidth (9+ MBit)
6. Local blocking - eg. subscribers commuting between Belgium and the Netherlands can only watch while in the country where they subscribed. Or eg. Non-UK subscribers traveling to the UK for London games are unable to use GamePass while in the UK
7. No original US ads - All advertisement breaks are filled with the same mind-numbing low-quality, soporific DAZN ad. Takes away from the "American experience" and makes watching games at night unnecessarily hard
8. Only three devices allowed (DAZN normally 5)
9. No possibility of joining a stream from its beginning (spoiler-free without seeing the current score)
10. Reports of irregularities in billing. DAZN promised no price change for the GamePass but announcs it is transferring the yearly subscription to a (much more expensive) monthly subscription after 2023
11. Missing halftime show or analysis
12. Missing Chromecast support
13. Ad breaks not removed in "relive"s
------------------------
We are urging the NFL to take back ownership of GamePass and guarantee the high-quality viewing experience that made the NFL so successful outside the US. This migration is a huge disappointment. We customers deserve better for our money!
