ESPN Gameplan Online

I have done it in the past. I paid for one game only. The quality is obviously not as good as on TV, but overall not too bad. The good thing was I had it on my laptop and with a wireless connection was able to go anywhere around the house. No waiting for commercials to get a beer, just take the game with me.
 
I have been wondering about the single day purchases myself. If you go to the Gameplan order page, the only option available is purchase of the full season (~$100). They have done singles in previous years, but it looks like this might not be an option this year (at least not an option that's easy to find). Anyone have any info on this??

i live in the atlanta area and purchased the online single saturdays last year for 19.95. don't look like single saturdays online are an option this year so where can i go to view the game?:conf2: will it be replayed in the atlanta area?

Has anyone done the Gameplan online? How is the quality. Were you satisfied with it. Any issues? Did you have to buy the season or just that day?

Thanks.

I did it for the last two years. I have a 20" monitor. the game comes in a 8" insert screen that can be blown up to full screen. the quality will depend on the size of your CPU and Video card. I have a 1.7 gig cpu and a 128 meg video card. The picture in the small screen was very good but small. If I made it full size it became choppy like a cheap video.

the 2nd year I hooked a spare computer to my 36" tv. It was a 550 meg CPU
with a 128 meg video card. the standard picture was a 20 screen that was very clear If I full sized it it became choppy again.

My suggestion is to hook your computer to your big screen and watch it that way.

Oh yeah you will need to set your settings to 640x800 for the best picture. The smaller the pixels the more blurred the picture will seem.
 
Well this really sucks. It looks like you can only purchase the entire season. Unless they're going to update it next week with a "purchase this week only" option... $109 is a lot of freakin' money, considering probably only 3-4 games won't be on national TV.

that's exactly what i've been saying. there is no single saturday action for sale. maybe they will update their website to include the single game stuff.:conf2:
 
I purchase the entire year because I watch as much football as possible. You can purchase a DAY of Directv and you will get all the channels. I have a friend here in Maryland who does it every year.:BigA:
 
I decided to go ahead and get the entire season. It was $20-something for each game, or $109 for the season, and they guaranteed 10-15 games every Saturday. Also, I can pay for it in "Four Easy Payments" added to my cable bill. So it's an extra $27 or so on my bill for the next four months -- not the end of the world financially. Not sure how they do it for on-line viewing. Whoever said hook the computer up to the television is dead on.

I figured I'd watch enough other games to make up the difference.

Wait, did you see an option for weekly purchases?
 
Nope, I didn't see it on line, but when I called my cable company the representative said I could buy it on individual Saturdays, but it was cheaper to buy the package than four Saturdays. I have the impression it wasn't individual games, but that I could get all the games on one Saturday. Comcast.
 
Yeah, what sucks for me is that my local Cable company (Comcast) doesn't offer Gameplan, so my only option is Gameplan Online, which is only offered as a season package. And I know that most of Alabama's games will somehow end up on national TV (It happens every year - 75% of their games are on nationally), so it's such a waste to pay $110 for 3-4 games.

But I'll have to do it, because I can't NOT watch Alabama.

Let me make sense of this.

Do you mean 640x480? or 800x600?

And smaller pixels would mean more pixels, which would mean better resolution, which means a better picture. Is Gameplan blurry at high resolution? Doesn't make much sense to me.

What ever the setting on your personal computer that will allow the biggest font setting. For some reason the the less pixels you use the better the picture.
I believe that the first time I ran the progran that they use.(they will check your computer to insure that you meet the minium requirement) they put up a warning message to rest my computer to the lower level to vet the picture better.
hope this helps.
