Question on NHL Gamecenter

by Evanbio on Dec 22, 2011 11:09 PM EST

Just a quick question on the NHL Gamecenter options. Specifically for iPad....

I'm trying to determine if I want to upgrade from the free app to Premium or even Live. The app claims that Premium gives access to live highlights and condensed games. The NHL website says premium has live highlights, but not condensed games. Anyone know which is accurate? Also, what exactly is the condensed game feature?

what a great game for the Preds tonight! Now just to decide how to view tomorrow's game! Thanks.

All I can say is don’t think that you can watch Preds games on there if you live here.

Not an issue

I live in Indiana. Though it is a reason I’m not considering the Live option.

You can watch the preds games on there. And when they aren’t on tv locally, you can watch the away broadcasts. The condensed games are where they basically take out all of the non-action parts such as time outs, time between faceoffs, commercials. Let’s you watch the game much quicker. I think you have to wait 24 hours for those to be available though.

My only issue with Gamecenter is that it seems be kind of glitchy. The game sometimes randomly skips backward or forward and the quality changes sporadically.

I did the trial, for NHL Live and it said the game I tried to watch was blacked out. That is what i was referring to.Can’t remember which one, preds’ away game, tried home and away streams. Moot point, as he is in Indiana.

Condensed games

Is that only with the Live version, or the premium version? That’s what I really want to know. The iPad description and the NHL website conflict each other.

I tried to call yesterday to ask, but the numbers on the website didn’t work.

This is kinda late but

Condensed games and highlights are all available in the regular Gamecenter Live that you purchase for $160.

Premium

Well, I went ahead and purchased. On the iPad, premium does give access to condensed games. Just watched the Flames game. Odd that PP weren’t part of it, but still better than just the highlights. And it was only $10 today.
