Apple coverage is pretty crappy for me. Weird they havent figured it out. Are there post game interviews? Pregame at all? 

 

The waterfall of games just makes me not watch other games. they really have to start regular Wednesday games. More earlier games on Sat - getting home at 10:15pm with a kid can be rough. 

 

I also think its wierd that MLS is single entity and now has a single entity broadcast deal.... There's something hokey there 

 

I will say, its a real credit to this org in so far as how many RBNY related people are announcers, on MLS 360.

Two reasons that made MSG better than Apple TV were commentators of Steve Cangelosi and Shep Messing and ability to DVR the game if you were unable to watch it live. Still haven't found way to watch full replay with Apple TV without knowing the final Score.

What device/platform? I have no issues hiding the scores on browser/Roku. Needs to be done on each device separately, for some reason.

Fire stick app has an option towards the bottom of the settings to hide all sports scores. Browser is the only version of Apple TV I'm aware of that doesn't give you that option

Settings -> Web Settings works for me on a browser.

I don't remember them showing a good angle on Burke's offside call, or a good angle of the Dallas goal going through our wall.  It's just a question of how much money Apple wants to put into the production, and it looks like they want to show these games on the cheap.  I also don't like the commentator, can they find someone with a little personality and a sense of humor?  Give me more Lloyd Sam, or bring back Shep.

Mls wrap show is really enjoyable especially with BWP and Sacha

Bradley Wright-Phillips "I prefer it at Red Bull Arena, but it was OK. I could imagine it being good for a baseball crowd.

MLS is in charge of the production, so blame the owners, per usual.

Lloyd Sam's kicking around - he was on the Columbus - Chicago game last night.
