It is great to see this thread. I agree that they rushed this to market with some flaws. I also think, even with the flaws, they were wise to do this to capture market share first.
First - the video feed was great and we have two family members sign up to watch my daughter's games. That alone makes this worth it. My wife, who was watching at home, asked me to go over and give updates between innings so people at home could figure out what was going on.
After one game with no live play by play scoring, I offered to do that. So our coach set up a practice game so I could try it out. Yikes to some of the error messages not making any sense at all. It almost seemed like this was created in a foreign country and someone tried to translate it. (I don't really think that is the case, but the messages are just so far out there it is laughable) It is not as easy as GC - I gave up trying to do a courtesy runner. So the coach will do GC and I will do this. We will see what happens on a close play. I may not have time to see how he scores it on GC before the next batter gets up.
We played a weekday game so no issues with the connection. It will be interesting to see what happens this coming weekend.
My daughter was talking to a college coach who mentioned AthletesGoLive by name and said they watch all the time. That surprised me. We had 5 colleges view our game. I was told 2 were watching the other pitcher (it was our feed) One was from California (we are east coast) Two were somewhat local.
