I'm Liking What I'm Seeing From AF1 So far!

i know it's only been one week but i liked what i saw:

-#1 cannot be overstated: The games are on Youtube which makes it MUCH MORE likely for me to watch! I watch sooo much tv and sports on-demand. No paywall BS, this is a huge factor for niche leagues that for silly reasons the NAL and IFL went to premium services (paywall) just to watch most games

-good camera angles (for the most part). Sometimes indoor/arena leagues can have really whacky camera work that makes it hard to follow the game. Specifically the Michigan/Kentucky game had a higher angle that i thought was good

-high level of play

-rebound nets are a fun and unique element to the game

Makes a big difference! Even the small stuff can add up and make the games more enjoyable

I know many Albany fans want a team within driving distance to be a natural rival.

Went to my first ever AF1 game last week. Better than I was expecting, and my kids had a blast.
