So I thought I'd sign up for Flo Softball so my DD can watch now that the college season is over. The cost is 40.00 per month, more than I pay for any other streaming service.

Not a good way to generate interest. I don't mind paying but 40.00 is a bit steep.

Way steep. Like falling off cliff steep. Professional softball is a great product with horrible marketing. Websites suck. Very little u tube video. Play by play announcers weak. Color commentary is zero. They need to hire a big marketing company and start over from scratch. Its shameful.

Yes ... their marketing leaves a lot to be desired. Not just in presentation, but in practice.

I work with a guy whose daughter worked for one of the teams in their marketing department. I made a comment one day about how they sent out promotional e-mails — they came from the individual’s e-mail address and not always the same person. He rolled his eyes ... “You don’t even know the problems that has caused.”

Apparently they had more than one instance of creepy guys starting to stalk employees, showing up at the stadium, etc. Each time it started with that personal e-mail.

Marketing seems to be an afterthought.

Mark me down for a “NO” to a $40/month subscription.

Since ESPN streams everything else, I'm kind of surprised they haven't picked up NPF games and put them as part of the ESPN+ package. I wonder if it's because they actually have some kind of broadcast standards and the NPF management's #1 goal apparently continues to be trying to keep the whole thing a secret.

More than a few folks with MLB back office experience have offered to help. But the commish is simply not interested. Nothing will change until the NPF collapses and reforms with new leadership. The sooner it goes under the better.

Back on the dirt...

There is money to be paid and as Rise stated, NPF isn’t spending any....

Please check their complaints and reviews on Austin, Texas BBB. It's a shame they're the only live streaming option.
