Google cards

Anyone have limitations or issues with the Google cards? I have NFL teams saved as favorits and it is not populating the games last night today or this weekend at all. Baseball teams work fine

I was complaining about some of this to the other Ambassadors the other day. My teams seem to show up, but other things are random at best. Just as one example, I order stuff off of Amazon frequently, and I get get the "Tracking" card for those. However, in the past couple of weeks, I've ordered two things from the Play Store (a Nexus 7 and a Chromecast) both of which shipped separately. I got the tracking notices in my gmail, but never got the cards.

The inconsistency is a bit concerning. I have trust issues with it because what if it decides to not tell me about a delayed flight or traffic? So far it's been ok there, but if I can't trust it to give me shipping notices/tracking, can I trust that it's always going to pick up on a flight or hotel reservation? I really wish they'd add a manual "Create a Google Now Card" to it so I could manually add a flight or hotel or tracking number....etc.

But no, I haven't had team problems yet.

I read an artical from last year that states you have to use google now in all of or searches in order for it to "learn" and present the cards you want displayed. That being said, yes it is inconsistant. Maybe when the actual season starts I will get the nfl team cards

interesting....i order from amazon often but have never received a shipping card. and now that you mention it, last season my nfl cards all came up but now that preseason is going on no cards....weird that they would only come up for official "season" cards. i use chrome browsers both on my mobile toys and laptop and i do get random cards now and then that reflect my browsing and search items.
