I like it. You can see the gaps open on the lines on running plays, you can see pass protection better, you can see the WR/DB battles down the field. You couldnt see these things, at least not as well, with the sideline view.

You're wrong on this one.

Love this view. Can see the plays develop way better.

I've hated it since the beginning. My mind was made up a long time ago. Put this alternate angle broadcast on NBCSN or online for those who like it.

This view is trash.

Whenever their are long plays down the field...you can't tell what is happening because the camera can't keep up.

Reminds me of why I got rid of my end zone seats.

That's why I hate it as well. End zone seats are the worst.

The view does suck. The yellow line for the first down marker disappears. I have no idea if the running back gained two yards or had no gain. The field goals suck. The ball gets smaller the closer it gets to the goal posts. There have been several times I could not see if the ball was inside or outside the goal posts.

Did you see that Flea Flicker? You’d never see that Drag route get open with the traditional angle

This view also shows you how long some of these sideline throws actually are, and just how strong of arms some of these quarterbacks have to be able to make them.

And how tight a window a QB actually has to fit the ball in

Love going for 2 whenever you're up 7.

You're more likely to get a 2-point conversion than you are of stopping theirs.

Wish they would stick a tiny camera on the front of the QBs helmet and give a special streaming view of it.

I love it. Can see almost all the players at once and see how plays are developing.

I hate how they use it for field goals almost all the time now. It's a shittier camera then their main ones up high in the end zones and they shoot from a bad angle.

I don't want to watch an entire game with this shite.


Great for replays to help show certain things...like how/when a receiver broke open and why a QB did/did not see it, etc. Gives a good look at how holes open up for running plays, and works well as another angle to see holds, etc. But as a full time way to watch a game that's played on a 100 yard field from north to south? Nah...

Soon as I saw that a few of these Thursday games were like that most of the time I turned the channel. Maybe it's great from those folks who watch more PlayStation football than actual football, but it's not for me.

What would be cool is if our TV watching experience was interactive and we could pick our own camera view.

Aren't they converted at a less than 50% clip?
