FOX's Camera Angles...

Seems like I bring this up every season, but did anyone else get annoyed with the endzone camera angles on the kickoffs? They also did it on several offensive plays. They use that 'floating camera' thing, and it's just terrible. You have no idea what's happening! On replays it's fine, but not during actual game play.

FOX does it every year. I guess they think it's cool, or groundbreaking or something. I hate it.

I'm with ya, that overhead angle on kickoffs is really annoying, and I think it was the same camera they were using for the FG attempts too and it's too damn far away.

Yes, those sucked. But not as much as the Bucs running game.

Zing!

What about that stupid "Tony Siragusa Logo" thing they had when he was talking (during the Eagles / Giants game)?

They are trying to justify paying for that floating camera. I dont like it. Good for replays, but not the live shot.

I didn't like the Kick off or the floating angel that much. Also I hate the way fox has the score ,down and now all the other stuff going on top of the TV. Why because they don't have it at the top but few inches down. It not good just go with the ESPN or CBS way!

While I happen to agree about the "Fox Box" along the top of the screen being very intrusive, I happen to like the angle from behind the kicker and especially the offense. From that angle you can really see the holes open up during a running play, and the route's the receivers run during the pass play's. I really gives you a sense of what the running backs and quarter backs see. -Summo

when they do that floating camera thing I get motion sickness....lol...

Yeah I have to agree that I liked that angle pre-snap, it almost gives you a Madden like view of the field.

It is nice, but as someone said, only as a replay. People are so used to the classic sideline angle, why mess with it? It just makes things confusing, and it seems like Fox is just flexing its muscles showing off its technology.
