NHL is also toying with more tracking technologies [1] that could make for a pretty cool experience while watching the game live (The cost of pucks with tracking chips were ~$200 each, which is obviously too expensive for how pucks are used currently.)
The NHL removes commercial breaks, MLB leaves them in. The NHL player has a way to skip 10 seconds forward or back - MLB player only does back. But the worst, the MLB streams constantly get stuck and then the stream jumps back to the beginning of the game. Then I get to start hunting for where I was.
I've actually had the same issues happen in GameCenter Live. Lots of glitches, laggy, and the quality was horrible, the actual game was much smaller than the full screen.
One annoying issue was when I wanted to watch the game well after it had started, or even after it ended but didn't want to know the score. I always had to put my hand over sections that showed the score until I pressed the "Hide score" button and then always quickly forcing it to start from the beginning instead of mid way through so I wouldn't see the score.
(teh Googles suggests they actually use less than 50 pucks, so $10,000 would be highish)
Its not a perfect system, but some per-team pricing is nice.
