Chances are if you watched the Steelers-Titans preseason game last Sunday night you were instantly annoyed by the “High Sky” primary camera angle that NBC was trying out during the broadcast.
Fans instantly complained about it, and rightfully so. It was nauseating, annoying, and took away from the enjoyment of watching a game, which shouldn’t be what a broadcast team tries to when broadcasting a game.
We were hopeful that this was just going to be a preseason trial, something NBC thought up to cure their boredom of doing a preseason game.
But nope, it looks like we’re going to see this angle during the regular season, too, but thankfully not that often in a game:
“Some series or two” sounds like some series or two too long, for me. Why put something in your broadcast that’s going to bring down the enjoyment of it just because you have the camera angle at your disposal? It makes no sense, even just for brief uses.
NBC’s SNF team is one of the best in the biz but they need to stop getting in their own way (like that green zone thing they introduced last year) and tweaking things that don’t need to be tweaked.
