360 would be great if it was just.... a regular multicast. during UCL/EL/ECL i was the multicasts and they're awesome. just do that.
THIS. Just move around between the games. I was very excited about MLS 360, but between the commercials, the blatant pro-RBNJ anti NYCFC tilt, and way too much in studio discussion, interviews, etc while the games are going on… it sucks.

Golazo show is just about perfect, they should emulate that. Scores on the side, a few people in the studio talking about what they're seeing and discussing various things, then switch back to the match commentary or any goals that show up. Done. Easy. Simple.

360 was great with Twellman. He is natural for that show. The others are not good.

I'm sure Twellman wants to do traveling instead, so he won't be in studio unless his match is cancelled again, but I wish!

One of the great things they do is that as they whip around, they are a minute or so behind the action. So, when they check in on a game, it might be some simple play, or it might be a goal, and they don't tell you what is about to happen. It keeps the tension in place in a way that MLS 360 does not.

I'd add a slight asterisk, sometimes they tell you before it happens - and sometimes it's obvious bc they'll cut back to the commentary in a very obvious way. But it's still fine because that would never be perfect!

If you didn't get it the first time, MLS Season pass is once again free through T-mobile Tuesday, as is MLB.tv

I wonder how many people actually pay full price for MLS Season Pass. Not counting season ticket sign ups, T Mobile, etc, etc. Like how many people are actually making a conscious decision to pay $100 a year for this.

I think based on everything they're doing all of a sudden, not many.
