Am I the only one that is rarely interested in narrow angle shots except during ball-ups or centre clearances?
Seems like every time someone takes possession of the ball, or there's a contest of any description that the camera angle goes in on a tight shot. Much prefer the high angle or end on views (behind the goals) that let you see what's going on outside of the immediate area around the player with the ball.
TV can often make a player with the ball look like a hesitant gumby, or clueless, when the reality is that there are no guys upfield running to provide an option. Would love to see much more of the game covered with wider angle shots. Would be easier to see who is really putting in the hard yards, and how the players are working together to make space for each other.
I guess it'd make it much easier for coaches reviewing the vision to work out the structures and strategies other teams are using, so maybe not all a positive in that regard (harder to hang onto IP). But would make the viewing more enjoyable I reckon? Any idea whether there'll be an option like this at some point in future?
