ESPN App - Snap for Fantasy Football Experience

Hey there, BoDEAN! Since the app itself wasn't published by us, I suggest contacting ESPN on this. They have a great contact page where you can even input a suggestion/complaint! This should
get your suggestion over to the right people. You can also post this up on the Feedback site to get some visibility over there.

People will see through shallow attempts at adding "value" to the service. A football fan first gets nothing without a game, a fantasy fan gets nothing without more sports. If you don't watch football, or you only play fantasy football and your league is
on nfl.com, this news was good for you. For the rest of us, it's meaningless. I don't need imagination to know that I need games if any deal with the NFL and MS is going to bring anything to me.

ESPN and Yahoo will get fantasy apps out there pretty quickly for the X1. Since you can snap any app to the screen, the fantasy functionality will be there for all major formats.

"Gamers will be able to experience live fantasy football updates "snapped" to the side of their screen when watching NFL broadcasts through Xbox One.

The new fantasy football experience appears to be brand new, built from the ground-up for Xbox One, instead of piggybacking on an existing fantasy football experience. Fantasy stats will auto-update in realtime on your TV screen while the game unfolds.

The partnership is said to be worth $400 million over five years for the NFL" -IGN article





Hopefully we get some more info soon.

I think there is a high probability of an ESPN app for fantasy football at launch or immediately thereafter. In the reveal, they showed fantasy basketball running on ESPN. NFL.com is a given, I could see MS maybe not wanting to add Yahoo support, but MS
has no rival fantasy service so they shouldn't be opposed to it. Yahoo would want it up as quickly as possible I would think as fantasy sports is one of the only places they remain relevant.

Xbox 360 will also have the fantasy football app. My question has been, what fantasy leagues will Xbox support? Yahoo, ESPN, NFL.com? I asked Xbox Support and they only said ESPN was shown at the reveal but can't confirm if other companies will be supported.
I use Yahoo but will switch if I have to. Since it's free it's no big deal, especially if I can use it on Xbox.
