Horrible quality and constantly reloading, are they making it shitty on purpose?

I'm thinking the same. The buffering is absurd no matter which feed I watch.

Yeah it’s awful. Supposedly they’re switching to a new app in the near future and aren’t putting any effort into WatchESPN.

I picked up SlingTV for a 7 day trial to watch tonight’s games.

Same. I guess they weren't prepared for this many people to watch. Had the same problem during the finals in June

Same.

I find the Hometown broadcast, command Center, or Sky cam stream has less lag.

Very frustrating though and I absolutely think it’s purposeful to annoy cord cutters :tinfoil:

Had same problems. Switched to command center and haven't had any problems since. Of course it takes some getting used to having four different camera angles and a scoreboard in the middle

I've switched to the Oklahoma radio broadcast. It still has issues too, but not as many as the main feed. Amazing how terrible the app is.

Meh. You don't want to hear Herbie and Fowler give the SEC a massive blowjob

Just switched to the hometown radio and it’s golden. Perfect.

It used to be so good too. I never had any problems until recently and now it's every game.
