News to baseball fans - Android Apps and Games

Got this info on this website.
http://androidfeens.com/?p=3480
As a HUGE Phillies fan, you can tell I’m anxious about MLB At Bat 2011 and what it will bring to table. I was trying to get a hold of MLB.tv via Twitter and was referred to email the MLB mobile team. I asked if there were any plans to integrate live streaming video (MLB.tv) to their 2011 MLB At Bat Android app. The response I received was rather optimistic, yet rather vague.

Response Via Email (XXXXXX XXXXXXX) – 01/31/2011 02:19 PM
Dear Doug:
Thank you for your inquiry.
We are now offering live streaming of the games on select Android phones. We do not have much information expect the live games on the select devices. We will have more information as the season draws closer. Here is a list of supported Android phones that support the live games.
Droid
Droid 2
Droid X
HTC Evo
Samsung Epic
If you have any further questions please feel free to calkl our mobile department at 1-866-306-5311.
Sincerely,
MLB.com Customer Support
————————
What through me for a loop is the the Incredible is not listed nor are a host of other newer Android phones. One plus is that that the email mentioned that they don’t have any information except for the listed devices and more will be come available as the season nears. Lets keep our fingers crossed MLB fans!
Who else is eagerly waiting for opening day? Let’s hope MLB At Bat 2011 allows all of us to be there.
Reference: mlb.com
FYI Im Cardinals fan

Still can't watch local games I am guessing. Still a deal breaker for me.

I was hoping they would do that, the streaming during the World Series worked pretty well. As for local games, I wouldn't be surprised if someone finds a way around it. When I'm on 3G my phone says I'm two time zones away anyway most of the time.

You should check out Slingplayer. I never miss a Yanks game now that I have it, can set my dvr too.

that would suck if it only supported a few devices....that would be "fragmentation" that actually would piss me off since it has nothing to do with the OS etc.
If my Nexus S can't play MLB.tv and Netflix doesnt release an app soon....

This is a early statement. I'm baseball fan just let you guys know a head of time.

I don't understand what you mean by violating forum rules. are you advocating cracked apps? or have you cracked an app and added some spyware, now you're trying to get us to use it with your *wink wink* cloak and dagger routine?
FYI, Pocket Legends is a 3D android MMO that works on gTab, and you never need to pay (it's a freemium business model, you can pay to support the developer if you want). so I don't see the basis for some of Order and Chaos's claims.
Well the link to download the game I dont think i can post because it is a cracked version. the client check has been removed so that it will run on any system but it is only optimized for the ones listed. the game you have to pay for (i payed for it on my phone but of course could not download it on the g-tablet) so providing a link for software you have to pay for that is cracked i dont think would do any good, and i think it is against the forum rules (ill check when i get to work).
I have played Pocket legends for a while because i was looking for something that i could play on my phone believe you me! its fun however i have been VERY addicted to Order and Chaos way beyond pocket legends. Its true you do have to pay to play but the first patch is coming out here shortly and they SAY they are adding more content in the future only time will tell. However $2.99 for 6 months of play i dont mind paying that for something that i seem to log into every time i get a chance. Unlike wow i can log in when i have the chance and not have to brace myself for time travel (logging in for 5 min and ends up being a few hours). and you dont have to buy anything in the game if you dont want to but its optional. I have yet to pay for gold or gems to make the game easier (guess I am old school and like to grind away) and of course some of the best stuff in the game is crafted and quested so its not as though you can just buy your way through.
I play the game mainly on my Inspire and have had it run over the Edge network with a little lag. but it runs fine on 3G and definitely runs VERY well over WiFi depending on what connection you use for your wifi. Its true pocket legends is free however i dont think having to buy 'access to areas' is a good business model, or buying a new face. i would put it this way Hands down Order and Chaos is for those who want a more PC orientated game that's mobile.
Pocket Legends is good if you just looking for something to burn a few min. Order and Chaos is a good game and not for everyone just as wow isn't a game for everyone. I keep referencing wow because O&C is a clone of it (Gameloft is definitely known for Clone's!). Only time will tell if this game can keep up with how Pocket Legends in terms of keeping people playing though. But for now it has me and I am addicted... ,*stands up from his chair* 'Hi My name is Darkbluexplorer, and I am addicted to Order and Chaos Online.' (Yes some semblance of a person in a AAA meeting)
not quite 98% for me
I think I tried that same version but it runs so choppy most of the time and the graphics are glitchy at times. I've emailed gameloft a coupe times asking for gtab versions so I can pay for a full working version
Yep it's def not 100% but playable to a point

Google Bring Games on Google+ Finally

Google today finally revealed a gaming element for Google+, the social network the company launched at the end of June
nooooooooo
no no, what next, those stupid "what twilight character are you?" quizzes?
So many people are happy about this.
However i'm not.
I think they should do the following.
Either not allow people to share there score in the streams and only show it once you play the game. Or allow the circles to active game post in that stream or redirect them to a specific game related stream.
I do not give a crap what the hight score was of my friend playing jewel.
That's exactly what they're doing, there's a seperate stream for games. All your friends highscores etc appear in that stream. Your normal stream will be the same, for sharing information, not game stuff.
NOO
Its like facebook and Myspace
Do you think we'll be able to keep our scores between android mobile and Google plus to play on any screen ?

It's over 20 million now brah from its launch. The growth is unstoppable.
The only problem for me : out of those 20millions, I found only 2 of my friends, Computer specialists, like me.
The audience is not so wide and mainly composed of geeks for the moment .
I don't think Google will let it turn into Facebook with the stupid quizzes.
What?! NO! >.< Not good news... Unless of course, the games are well designed with developers not greedy for money? That'd be a nice change.
So far it looks like they are handling this better than Facebook has by hiding all the spam in a different stream. Honestly I don't know why the games need to do that at all though, but that's just me.

Nfl mobile app?

Well folks its that time of the year again, and I must have updates for my football. Last year we had a great app, but it doesn't work anymore. Any progression on a new one?

A beer to the fellow who gets this running on the EVO 4G!
I second that ^
There is a new NFL app in the market. I personally have it tried, but it should be fine to score updates and news. There is always the Sprint Football TV app; it will stream college football games on EPSN mobile TV. No NFL.
If you're looking to streaming of NFL games, I've read someone is trying to hack the verizon app, but the security is lot more evolved compared to last year; it also requires a verification you have the subscription with verizon too.
There are two other options to get NFL game streamed to your phone. One would be the DirectTV moble app for Sunday Ticket. I personally haven't used it because I don't have don't have directTV. I did look the mobile part, and there was a fifty dollar fee to have mobile access. Not a cheap.
Another option, also not cheap, is from the NFL, which is the NFL Game Pass mobile. I did a post in another thread in this subforum
there is an app that works from the NFL (NFL Game Pass mobile XDA thread. It works great, and even has access to game replays.
There are two covets though:
1) only available outside the United States, Mexico, Bermuda, Antigua, the Bahamas, and any U.S. territories, possessions and commonwealths.
2) must be Game Pass subscriber to use. It does give free 2 minute preview.
I don't know how much verizon's thing costs. Game Pass isn't exactly cheap; it's $250, which is cheaper than Sunday Ticket on both DirectTV and PS; the directtv mobile is an additional $50.
Other helpful information:
1) How to Use Game Pass in blacked out areas
2) Game Pass 2011: Walk through and review
3) how to use blacked out services on mobile devices: free version or donate version

[Q] What tablet to buy for streaming NFL

I have DirecTV Sunday Ticket so I can watch my favorite team. My brother in law is always trying to make me watch his team, which is usually on at the same time.
So for Christmas I want to get him a tablet, so he can stream the game at his house and leave me alone. I have been looking at the Nook/Fire tablets. Would they work if not, what will? I really want to watch my game in peace. Thanks.

A man with real issues, glad to see it
Every android tablet with the android market supports streaming NFL games as long as you have Sunday Ticket and the RedZone channel. All you need is an Android phone/tablet and this app below. Now, the nook/fire dont actually access the Android market so you are going to have to go with a Galaxy Tab or any android tablet really that can connect to the market.

What a great problem to have during a recession!
Thanks for the help. The information about the apps was helpful, but I know he will not want to pay for the service. Also, I don't know if I want to give him access to my account. So what about sites like justintv,or others. Can that be accessed on a tablet?
The nook tablet and the kindle fire will work with sunday ticket as long as you sideload the android market.
I would suggest gifting a nook tablet more as it has better specs and is lighter but it's up to you.
As for how to sideload, just google it and you will find many results.
For justintv both the nook tablet and the kindle fire will work because they both have flash installed.
GMJ thanks for the answer. I just found out I have to travel for work the first two Sundays in Dec., so now I am looking at buying 2 Nooks. One for me, and one for the brother in law. Glad to know I can see my game while I am on the road.
justintv carries NFL games? :O
I heard a rumor they did. I could be mistaken.

[APP] Steam Mobile Beta!

Valve has just released their official steam app yesterday for Android & iOS. Login to be added to the list of "possible beta testers". I just got accepted.
https://market.android.com/details?...NvZnR3YXJlLmFuZHJvaWQuc3RlYW0uY29tbXVuaXR5Il0.
It works great on my Transformer but it's not really optimized for tablets yet, we can only hope. What I'm hoping though, is integration with mobile apps! That would be awesome! Just imagine buying Dungeon Defenders on Steam and being able to play it on your tablet for free (or GTA III, Plants vs Zombies etc).
Anyone got an invite?
Gave away mine to a friend, should've just let him wait on his. People were trading it on the forums and I could've gotten something nice XD
Gave mine to a friend, too. Seems he could care less. App seems kinda slow, but to not miss a super sale because I'm away for a day is AWESOME!!
App is now available for all steam users. It has officially left closed beta.

That would be amazing. Not sure if developers would like the idea. On the other hand, Steam already integrates the PC/Mac versions of many games, so there is precedent.

This explains why " could care less" doesnt make sense my american friends

Don't forget they already tried PS3 integration so they are probably willing to try this sometime!
