This behind the QB camera angle SUCKS!!!

I hope it is on NFL replay, because I forgot to DVR it.
 
So, by reading all of this, the entire game was shown the same, the entire game?

When Mariota did the sneak on 4th down... Dear God. That gap was so big I could have gotten that. Would never have seen that without the Madden-cam.

It was mostly “Madden Cam” but did have some sideline angles and end zones shots.

It was different. Not real sure if I liked it, or if I liked the win and overlooked the distraction of it.

Ha, had to run and get my glasses because I thought it would help. Yeah, I'm old.

Then hated it when it was near impossible to determine the line of scrimmage.
 
Was it the camera angle or were we running some kind of unbalanced line deal?

another day in paradise....
 
On punts and kickoffs I couldn't tell where the ball was.
 
I was thinking I didn't like but you could see the Hilton pick coming as soon as the ball left Mariota's hand from that angle. You could also see the TD pass to Matthews coming as soon as it left his hands too. LOL
 
I liked it.
Gave me a better impression of how fast the game is.
I could get used to it.
Never played Madden in my life.
Pushing 60.

Oh and our color rush uni's are the bomb!!
 
I also liked seeing receivers break open, running lanes develop, etc. but yes it is hard to tell depth. I was thinking 2 yard runs were like 7 yard runs

I liked seeing Ben point out defenders when he was in an empty backfield.
 
Would be interesting what the response would be had we lost this game...

Yep. The shot gives a very good view of the pocket, and the pocket collapsing. Really get to see what the QB is experiencing on pass plays.

I like the angle, don't love it. Would not mind getting that shot mixed in on replays and 3rd and long.

Took some adjustments. First play I saw exactly how tight that window was to brown.

Gained an appreciation for how fast to read. And heard the mic pick up the "got em" on first TD was great.

First down line tough to see.

I adjusted more as the game went on. Prefer the old method, but not shutting this out.

I don't think we are far from being "the guy in the truck". Ourselves choosing our own cameras.

You don't know how true that is.

I work for a company called The Switch. Most people haven't heard of us, but we've revolutionized how live events are broadcast.

In addition to now carrying nearly every major sporting event worldwide over fiber from venue to production facilities, including the NFL, we have developed technology that allows these events to be produced remotely--even controlling the cameras from remote production facilities. At the NAB show this year in Las Vegas, we demo'ed our new Cumulus product. Our crew in Vegas actually piloted the cameras, including the overhead cam, at a remote stadium.

Anyway, some of the stuff we have coming down the pike is gonna change the experience of watching a game. Kinda like all those instant replays that seem to get to NFL and other media web sites instantaneously that are using our technology. DirecTV Sunday Ticket superfan stuff and the multiple game views is using our technology also. Wait til you can choose your camera view. It's not far off...

I know the Switch!
 
I agree that there are good uses and poor uses for the angle.

Definitely would love to be able to choose my own angles. I hope that will include an "all 22" view. I could see myself toggling back and forth between the QB view and the All 22 view.
 
Horrible, reminded me of why I never buy end zone seats.
 
If I can choose my own porn angles, football shouldn't be far behind.

I'm a fan, and I prefer watching this angle at games. You can't tell how far a player has gone, because you've never watched a game from that angle. You'll get better at it.

Also I don't know what you're talking about Indy, I can see receivers downfield much better with the QB angle than the sideways, lets pan 30 yards downfield, and try to find the play, side angle.

One other benefit from the rear angle? You can't fool the camera man on pump fakes...

I agree with replay, and 3rd and long. Don't care for it otherwise.

With end zone seats you have a 50/50 chance at being close to the action. Sky-cam, not so much.

The longer they do it the more accustomed to it we'll get, and it would be great if the viewer had the option from their living room to decide what they want to see.

Wonder how much that option will cost?
