I know I defended it earlier because I could at least follow the games with them but boy do they suck. For a while after ever made basket they were showing a replay while the game was still in progress. All so they could mention McDonalds and make a few more bucks. We missed whole sequences of play at the other end of the court and even sometimes at ours when it came back quick.

If that wasn't bad enough, they would cut away to fans, cheerleaders and the coaches while the ball was in play. And I subscribe to this and pay for it you understand. I wonder if Aleva ever watched even part of one of their broadcasts? I am sure he is aware of the advertising replays.

It seems like last year it was only the free highlights video that they did this on. Ruined part of the game for me. What crap!

I've complained about it for years. I would settle for the replays to at least be regular speed...but noooo...it's in slow motion. Crazy. It would be like showing the replay of a scoring football drive...and missing the entire next series by the opposition..

It's because that is the feed straight from the scoreboard. It is not being filmed for the purpose of geaux zone.

Why would anyone at the game want to watch a replay while the bal is in play and the game is on? It still seems the only reason is so they can get a few more bucks from McDonalds.

And I would imagine that somewhere there are cameras filming for Coach Jones to review and teach from. I don't think he would want some of their defensive plays eliminated from the teaching video.

I don't even have words for how frustrating that shite is. I'm basically paying to not see the opponents possession every time LSU scores.

So your saying the feed was not about the game?

I let my subscription go. It's a pathetic ripoff. Surely LSU could come up with something better.

Baseball feed is decent IMO. Much less of an issue with replays due to the speed of the game and actually is a good thing many times.

Worth the subscription for baseball season in my book.

I dont think the baseball subscription is that good. The only time its worth a shite is if they are showing the view from CF. We are lucky to get the score. Don't expect a batter's count or runners on base with how many outs displayed. The shitty view is when they are recording from the dugout. We don't get to see a whole lot.

It really is sad that LSU has such a shitty online service. I was just bitching about this in another thread.

I don't visit lsusports.net in general anymore. That whole site is due an overhaul imo.
