Google Now Sports Card

**Loony2nz#AC** · 07-03-2012, 01:43 PM

For the life of me, I can't get Google Now to show me my favorite sports teams. I have done nothing but searches (spoken and typed) and it still hasn't learned or shown me any sports teams that I follow.

Anyone have a suggestion?

thanks!

What teams/leagues?

I'm actively getting MLB stuff for the Astros (which I don't even care about, but whatever, lol), and MLS stuff for the Dynamo. Make sure your google web history isn't paused in chrome on your desktop, too.

yup..nothing is paused or stopped. still no sports updates

Do you have Web History enabled?

I noticed on the Google Now page found , it says "Shown based on Web History for the sports card." If I understood that correctly, you will need to enable Web History. You can do so .

I hope that works out for you.

Click on the three-dot menu button on the card - you can uncheck teams whose info you don't want to see.

It seems to only work for American Sports and Teams. I tried searching for Tennis and cricket scores and matches, but google now would not show any cards on these matches.

I only have one team available on my sports card (Athletics).

Any thoughts at all?

Try asking when your team is playing. I did that once for the Dodgers, and they were added to my card.

Thank you very much... that worked. Now I guess I just have to wait for each sport season to set up all my teams. I hope it works for college sports too!

Any reason this doesn't work for sport outside the USA?
I know Google Now is for US only, but people in the US can follow sport outside their own country surely??

Generally....we don't.

I don't quite understand who/how/what made the choices they made for Google Now as far as sports go. 3 out of my city's 5 major pro teams show up

**buckweet1980** · 07-15-2012, 09:50 AM

I had this same issue, web browsing was enabled only for searches initially. I then changed it to the full mode but that didn't help.

I ended up making sure full mode was enabled then i cleared the data on the google search app on the phone and set it up again. Everything is working now.

This seems like a lot of work compared to just tapping ESPN ScoreCenter and seeing all my teams already right there, which also syncs across all my devices.

**arcadelion** · 07-15-2012, 06:00 PM

I wish the scoreboard would stay up to date. Google Now is an inning behind for baseball scores.

Keep in mind, Now a brand new product. It'll take time for it to mature.

Google Scoreboard is better than Google Now. I don't get why they can't let us pick teams like you would on Google Scoreboard.

**kkrebsjr** · 07-22-2012, 12:45 PM

I had the same issue until I enabled Web History using Google Dashboard (After which, I performed several voice searches). It did take a little while after that for the Google Now settings to take effect and for the card to appear.

**mmace** · 07-30-2012, 03:05 PM

OK, digging up an old(ish) post, just tried doing searches for rugby (I don't follow it but I know the season is on right now) and asked "what was the Leeds Rhino's score?" and also asked "When do Leeds Rhino's play next?"

still no sports teams in my settings!

**oakraidr** · 08-03-2012, 03:25 PM

I have tried to get a card to stay on the 'Now' screen. No luck. I have searches of : Athletics, what is the score of the A's game?, mlb score A's.
None of those searches are working to get a card on the page.

**SalamanderX** · 08-03-2012, 06:56 PM

had to search for "Yankees Scores" after I enabled web history. Took maybe 2 minutes, reboot, refresh of Now and it appeared.

Maybe because you're a fan of A's that it takes so long

Well technically they could. But the whole idea behind Google Now is it learns and offers items based on your history. Any old app could simply give you box score alerts. Now is supposed to "grow" as you use your phone more and as more cards are added.

Not being able to add Cricket, Tennis etc is a bummer. Guess it'll happen in time

**tsatish** · 03-21-2013, 06:34 AM

As it passed years Android Jelly Bean rolling out into market but yet we didn't find Cricket added to sports cards. Hope to see this in next update i.e Key lime Pie 5.0 or 4.3
