NBA Game Time drives the lane on Xbox 360 today
The NBA's official app 'Game Time' comes to Xbox Live today, just in time for the 2012-2013 season tip-off on October 30. NBA League Pass Broadband subscribers with an Xbox Live Gold account will be able to livestream any regular season game.
Game Time will have a lot of the same functionality found in other Xbox 360 streaming apps like ESPN, UFC and MLB.TV. You'll be able to watch live games, highlights and replays in HD, set a specific favorite team to follow and monitor team schedules and stats all through the app. Game Time also features the ability to watch up to two games at once, or watch a live game and catch up on highlights in a split-screen view. In keeping with Microsoft's mandate on all new Xbox 360 apps, Game Time features Kinect-enabled voice and gesture controls.
