FIBA TV Online Subscription Question

[usausa]

For those who have it....

I was wondering if you are able to watch older games..for example this years Afrobasket, can I watch games from yesterday or Thursday?

Any help is appreciated!

And it is so right now that it is cheaper to do two seperate month subscriptions than a season pass?

Yes, you can watch games on demand, but don't expect them to be available immediately...maybe late that night or the next day. There's a lot of games archived from the last couple years, plus some classic Eurobasket/Euroleague/World Championship games.

Overall, would you say its worth the price?

[JGX]

Depends what you are looking for. FIBA-Americas and Eurobasket will be on espn3.com in the US, so all you'd really be getting at this point are the remainder of Afrobasket, FIBA-Asia, and some of the women's tournaments, and I'm not sure how many games they'll show from Asia.

Thanks for the response JGX...might hold off on it for now...

well i slept on it and decided it would be a good investment for me...since I will be in school soon, this is the easiest way to watch games and I think that I will have fun going through the archived games.

My two cents: I'm pretty disappointed in the service. They have improved the website look but that's it. If you're subscribing because you can't watch the games live and want to catch them later on the archive, good luck. That was my hope for Afrobasket but they're terribly slow in uploading the games ( we're at the semifinals stage and they're still in the process of putting up the elimination group games ). Live streaming quality is just watchable, and their archive of past games (which was bigger just before the site redesign) has considerably shrinked. So, I'd advise to subscribe if that's the ONLY way you can catch these games.

Yeah this new design is crap...hard to search for games, hard to find games...I mean I don't mind waiting for the replays because I can watch many other games but seriously this new 'upgrade' is anything but. Plus it is slow with my browsers. The previous site was fine and had no issues really. Don't understand why they changed it. Maybe someone has insight or an opinion on this matter?
