filmed so close

luckily we're moving to an age were you can get different feeds streaming to your browser. I've seen NBC do it for olympics and the winter classic maybe? can't remember, but i think i saw it done on some postseason games, and csn did it with the ovech-cam.

yay technology.

Like Madden, I think the camera should be positioned behind the QB. Growing up and playing both Free/Strong safety I never could see what the position does and even how to c

[SkinsHulk]

Really? Con't:
Can't see what WR do. Watching games on tv is annoying when they show 10-15 yards of useless field behind the QB ( dumbass fox sports). The whole experience needs to be revolutionized. Put the camera behind the QB and let people enjoy seeing OL blocking.
It's a no brainer to me- Why do they televise the same angle of Tecmo Superbowl ( GOAT)????? If the game is now Goodell's NFL and no longer football in the sake of luring in kids/women (people who don't understand or even like all aspects of the game) than why spoon feed the same useless presentation? IMO

I said the same thing about Jason C. after watching him play the Giants live. Even my wife was asking why he was not throwing the ball to all the wide open WR's. It was not just a play here ant there it was the entire game about every play.

NBC does it with SNF

[imaskin4life]

I like current view but it is limited in the sense that we never really know who is open down field. Are our WRs getting separation from receivers/are our DBs covering their receivers. Is our QB holding on to the ball too long or is everyone actually covered? Its hard to tell when you cant see down field.

[12thMan]

I kind of see it as the football being the main actor at all times and the quarterback (or running back) best supporting actor.

[Bubba305-ST21-]

yea i hate deep pass plays where you dont know what to expect since you cant see any of the db's or receivers who are downfield until the ball gets there

I haven't tried it out on SNF, but it would be nice, someday, to maybe have that added feature to something like NFL Sunday Ticket - different camera angles.

[SmootSmack]

Every angle is filmed and a director technically could go any one at any time (all these angles are what help create the melts that allow analysts to truly break down film), but I know when ESPN (and others) have offered viewers "new angles" the response hasn't been all that positive. I guess people just get comfortable in what they're used to

Sounds pretty cool, ill be checking it out and SNF this season. If im watching a football game i dont really want to be messing around with controls though, so maybe its kind of a hassel too. Its easy to watch tv and be slightly annoyed then be hasseled.

A LONG time ago NFL football was presented in black and white format with a MUCH wider scope from a higher vantage point - - often at the 50 yardline in the first row or so of the upper deck.

People did not have hi-def TV and/or big screens and it was difficult to follow the ball and so when innovations like moving the camera down to the 20 yardline when a team reached the red zone or end-zone close-up shots came in most fans were thrilled.

And then - - as SmootSmack pointed out - - people grew to expect that is what they would see on their screens. So, that is what the networks give the viewers...

And everyone lived happily ever after.

its easy. you click full screen, you no-likey, just hit esc (to go back to a browser view) and click on the picture of the camera you rather see instead. switching takes like 1-2 seconds and includes the produced TV feed too.
