SE Penna.
Since moving out of the TV+ app live activities is just not updating like before. Some of the MLB games have lagged 3-10 minutes between updates. Hope this improves.
 
Could be worse. Mine sometimes lags behind by hours. A game had been over for two hours and was still showing info from the third quarter. :rolleyes:

So far live activities is not working on my ultra 2. No matter the app I am not getting a notification when a score changes like before. If I take off my watch or if I unlock the iPhone sound notifications work. Is it just me?
 
So after the 18.1 update, live activities still having issues with push notifications. Happens in the Apple Sports app, theScore and Sports Alert. Disable/enable live activities in each app and it returns for a time.

On your iPhone, open the Watch app then in Settings > Smart Stack make sure that Live Activities are enabled.
 
Mine are usually ahead of my tv.
Same, a few Phillies games in the (brief appearance) of the playoffs, the score updated before my TV. Also the Eagles vs Bengals game just 2 days ago, score would update on the phone 15-20 seconds before TV. My DVR was on "Live TV."

I don't know, I just blame the delay from the networks.🤷🏻‍♂️

Who the heck is running the NHL portion of Apple Sport live activities? Scores not updating, time remaining continues to run when actual game has stoppage…. And opening the game on the app itself shows the correct score and time, but not inline activities. Until this improves I continue to use Sports Alert.

It's not just for NHL but US football, baseball, college basketball ... For quite some time now when following a live game via Apple Sports on my iPhone Lock Screen the games information stops updating. I go back to the app, restart it, click on live activities, etc ... and the same problem repeats on the Lock Screen (and Apple Watch).

Yep and still happening. Been using Sports Alert which is more consistent
 
I had to turn off live activities for any game that I am watching live because I was getting haptic notifications of a change in score before they happened while I watched. And it remains that way - my updates are working great when I use them.

Settings / Apps / Sports / Live Activities - as previously said, you may want to make sure that "more frequent updates" is turned on.
