This year's updated NFL app will support two major streaming video services as well. A Microsoft representative later confirmed to Polygon that the Xbox One's ESPN app will support ESPN fantasy football for this season. He couldn't name specific sites yet, saying that Microsoft is still "working on finalizing some deals," but assured us that once those agreements are in place, the providers in question will be supported within the app by the kickoff of the season on Sept. "We are going to have more leagues than just NFL.com," said Jurenka. Last year, the app only supported NFL.com, leaving out millions of fans who use sites such as Yahoo Sports, ESPN and CBS Sports. One of the top requests from users of the NFL app, according to Jurenka, was the option to interface with a wider variety of fantasy football providers. "We are going to have more leagues than just NFL.com"

And the Xbox One introduced a new paradigm with its TV functionality, where football fans could Snap the NFL app alongside a live game - the console experience itself was something that people had to become accustomed to. Microsoft made a major push for the app's integration with NFL.com fantasy football, but fantasy players fall into a routine very quickly and can be reluctant to change it up so far into the season. But other people, it's harder to do," said David Jurenka, director of sports at Xbox Entertainment Studios, in a presentation to Polygon last week. And when you introduce something so fundamentally new in week 12, the hardest-core people latch onto it and love it and give feedback, and it's great. "People establish their behaviors and habits early on in the season. The app remains one of the major pieces of the company's multi-year partnership with the NFL, and Microsoft is making some important improvements this year to make it more viable and attractive. Microsoft debuted its NFL on Xbox One app 12 weeks into the 2013 NFL season, a late arrival that limited the app's potential.
