PromoTheRobot Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 All week NFL Sunday Ticket now shows 30 minute "shortcut" games, proving there is only 30 minutes of actual action in a 3+ hour game. You can see every play with all the downtime cut out. Catch a whole game during breakfast, or 5-6 games after dinner. Why didn't they think of this sooner? PTR
Malazan Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 I didn't know they had this...I am intrigued.

PTR they've been doing this for years... and there isn't 30 minutes of action. There's like 13 minutes, so they are already stretching it.
Mark Long Beach Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 It's good, but not without its flaws. You lose all sense of momentum of the game. No real sense of flow, things just happen. But it is still pretty awesome, and worth using for some games.
GOBILLS78 Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) I have DirecTV and Sunday Ticket, but I'm a newbie. Where can I find this? Is there a specific shortcut-only channel? Edited September 12, 2011 by GOBILLS78
PromoTheRobot Posted September 12, 2011 Author Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) They run two games at once. It's Chs. 704-705. PTR Edited September 12, 2011 by PromoTheRobot

There's like 13 minutes, so they are already stretching it. Although they cut out plays for games that are 'too long' to fit in their 30 min. If you watch closely some games have a LOT of plays cut out. I'm not sure that you'd really want to condense the action from what they have it as. Sometimes it's a little seizure inducing as it is.
ajzepp Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 I love all the different ways we have available to watch games nowadays. On a typical Sunday for me, I have TBD up, a feed of the Bills game up, and RedZone on the tv. I've become completely addicted to the Red Zone channel. Like SDS said, it only comes down to like 13 minutes of action per game, so this way it's like watching every game at once. I've seen the 30 min condensed games before back when I had DTV and I liked those, too. It's true you do sort of lose the feel for the flow of the game, but it's great if you just want to take a look at the plays independently.

PTR not a new service. i like the hour versions that i used to watch on.... nfl network? a few years ago. gave a little more balanced feel for the game, not just a mad highlight reel. although its good to get broad strokes ideas still.
