I was looking for WatchESPN or ESPN3, why have I ended up on ESPN Player?
WatchESPN and ESPN3 are only available when you are accessing the service from within the United States of America. You cannot use these services outside of the U.S. - ESPN Player is ESPN’s online streaming platform for Europe, Middle East and Africa. 

ESPN Player does not have the same sports/ events or content that you may find on WatchESPN or ESPN3, so please check the ESPN Player schedules and channel FAQs. ESPN Player will not issue refunds for purchases made from users expecting to see content that would be available on WatchESPN, ESPN3 or any other ESPN network from U.S. 

You cannot use your WatchESPN or ESPN3 account details for ESPN Player access. 

After I login and click on a game, I only get a spinning circle (or empty black screen or white screen)?
Try closing your browser and log back in. If this fails to help, push ‘ctrl’ and ‘F5’ together on your browser to force the browser to refresh (or close the app fully on TV or iPad). If this does not work, the issue may be related to a web browser media player plugin issue, follow these steps to resolve:
First step, uninstall Adobe Flash Plugin.  On a PC, do this through your CONTROL PANEL > ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS.  On a Mac, drag Adobe Flash Player from applications to your Trash; or use Finder to locate Adobe Flash Player install manager, and uninstall.  Once you have removed Adobe Flash, restart your computer and finally, reinstall Flash directly from Adobe's website
