I am an overseas fan of yakyuu who would like to have access to all NPB games, regular and post-season. At present, I can purchase streaming/VOD rights to games only of the Pacific League. This means I can watch only half of NPB teams, only half of interleague games, and nothing at all of the Central League Climax Series or the Japan Series.
If you have a look across the internet, you will find the following baseball leagues offer streaming/VOD packages: - MLB (USA)
- MLB Minor (USA)
- LMP (Mexican Pacific League, winter)
- LMB (Mexican Baseball League, summer)
- CPBL (China Professional Baseball League, Taiwan)
- KBO (Korean Baseball Organization)
- ABL (Australian Baseball League)
Why does a leading country such as Japan still not offer such service to fans worldwide? If even small leagues on three continents have managed to offer affordable, easy access to _all_ their games, why not the NPB?
For the moment, I rely on fans uploading content to file sharing sites to avail myself of Central League games and the Japan Series. I would be happy to pay for a quality product, but at the moment there is _none_. I hope by the 2017 season NPB will resolve what issues remain in order to better serve their customers.
Best regards,
