Yes, I can see the stopping and starting between plays, TV time outs, scoring, etc could make it a bit of an acquired taste.Regardless, thanks for giving me a reason to mention A Clockwork Orange.. haven't seen that film in years.

Regardless, thanks for giving me a reason to mention A Clockwork Orange.. haven’t seen that film in years.

No, I just think it’s a bit boring, all the stopping etc. But it’s all meant in jest anyway…

*Stupid sport*

Who thinks that helps? That doesn't make me want to buy what's being pushed, it makes me want to NOT buy it for annoying the bat shit out of me and stop playing the game.And why the hate on American Football, Sam? You don't have to like it, but why the hate? Someone make you watch it with your eyes held open A Clockwork Orange-style?

BLASPHEMY!) fans about their chosen sports. They're different enough so that it's possible to appreciate both as good games.On topic, ads at every snap is complete bullshit. There is absolutely no excuse to shove adverts down a customer's throat that often. If playing a full-length game, its possible to get well over 100 ads - more in the range of 120 or more. There are some ways to work in advertising or product placement to add a sense of realism or other benefits to a game, but this is a prime example of doing it wrong.
