As the NBA has returned to its old-school high scoring games, the NFL has attempted to follow suit. Here, the NBA’s Kings defeat the Clippers in double-overtime 176-175 context from February 24, 2023.
In 2018, the NBA experimented with a Fans Only broadcast event, marrying real-time social media commentary with traditional television broadcast angles.
The NBA has long held the youth’s imagination, first through apparel and “coolness” and today through aggressive strategies within youth’s preferred choice of communication – social media.
Madden’s various, non-human camera angles has changed the way we expect to perceive football today.
Once, video games such as EA Sport’s Madden series attempted to simulate NFL television broadcasts. Today, it is the opposite. One example, the Skycam technology.
The game that changed it all for the NFL – The 9-1 Kansas City Chiefs vs. the 9-1 Los Angeles Rams on November 19, 2018. The Rams prevailed 54 to 51 in the culmination of the NFL’s efforts to catch-up to both video games and the NBA.
