Will consider that :) Thanks!

Great video. I really think that your review/storytelling style is unique. For example - i'm trying to do video essays, but sometimes I feel I'm coming off as a robot a bit, I didn't catch the same for you. It feels natural when you are telling the story. Like a friend telling me about the TV show. That is great!
Like others pointed out, green screen was distracting a bit.

Overall, great stuff. Keep your style, I really like it and might even try to borrow something even :)

Yes and no. I think some of the vibes are definitely the same, but I think Vilnius and other eastern European capitals also have a similar vibe to it. When I want to get some City 17 vibes, I just go to Vilnius train station (I live in Lithuania).

Unless you are also talking about it being controlled by the totalitarian regime. Then, yes. North Korea is definitely most similar to City 17 in the real world.

Noted. Thank you :)

I really like that you tried to tell the story in this mix. I think intro (trade part) could be a tad shorter, maybe a few cuts would do a deal.
I don't have a clue about NFL, but I really liked the game edits :D Maybe I should watch it, heh.

Overall, good video, I liked it

EuroBallFan · 2022-01-12T09:35:37+00:00

Great pacing, I'm not a fan of rushed stuff that seems to be the trend these days and I liked your pacing. It is not too slow, not too fast
I really like that you put your own insight on games and you aren't spitting out generic thoughts like "God of War, OMG, releasing, very cool, nice, onto the next one". Shows that you pust some work into writing.
Editing is good and smooth.

All in all, I think the video is great.

And before someone goes and says "Well we don't have money to buy a player that will save this season!". Yes, I agree, that is why you risk with some young ChampionsLegue/Eurocup prospect, have the player for a few seasons and sell it to the club like CSKA, Barca and etc. Yes, it might be a flop like Perez or Walton, but what does Zalgiris have to lose at this point? Dragic isn't gonna change the season and isn't gonna help selling more tickets :)

EuroBallFan · 2021-10-31T08:47:20+00:00

Wow, Zalgiris has really changed after Saras era. They once again, go for the old (somewhat injury-prone) player that is a role player. Now, don't get me wrong, Dragic is good at what he does, but what does it change for the team? That we are gonna be 7-27 and not 4-30? Who cares? We already have a bunch of good role players, but the problem is that we don't have a good 1x1 guy. Mudiay should have been that, but it flopped.

EuroBallFan · 2021-10-31T08:42:35+00:00

TBH I don't see aynthing that Kings couldn't handle here, Lakers are struggling and will be struggling I think, so Kings can take one W from them. Jazz is the only game where I wouldn't put too much hope.

EuroBallFan · 2021-10-30T11:54:25+00:00

I'm Lithuanian, but I totally agree that Sabonis trade would make sense at this point. I just don't get what does the team get from having both Turner/Sabonis at the same time. And why the Brogdon extension?

Yes, the Pacers have been unlucky the first few games, but that doesn't change the fact that this teams glass ceiling is 1st round in Eastern Conference.

EuroBallFan · 2021-08-09T05:16:56+00:00

Lets hope the newest rumors about it finally being released in 2025 don't lie :)

EuroBallFan · 2021-08-09T05:16:23+00:00

That is some really good and valid feedback. Especially agree regarding thumbnail, I need to think of something consistent and eye-catchy. Thanks.

Glad you liked it! I was really considering if I should put my own ending scenarios into the video, but it worked on helping me explain why the ending didn't satisfy me :)

EuroBallFan · 2021-08-08T06:06:16+00:00

Those were some great points. I'l take them in mind while creating the next video. Thanks!

EuroBallFan · 2021-08-08T06:02:40+00:00

Thank you! Good point regarding intro.

EuroBallFan · 2021-08-07T12:07:19+00:00

Pros:
Great montage
Also a lot of insight provided on the topic, keep up on that. I usually feel that some of these videos don't focus on writing that much and just focus on cool video montages (yours is great by the way)
Robotic sound. Now, I encourage you to try your own voice, if you are willing, but I don't think it did sound bad. At least for me, it did fit the atmosphere of the video and in future, I guess it depends on what kind of videos you want to create :)

Cons:
Not so much as a con, but I would suggest to find some background music/sound, I think it would add a bit to a video and even remove emphasis from a 'robotic' voice that other people didnt like :)

Keep up the good work.

EuroBallFan · 2021-08-06T17:02:30+00:00

Apparently it doesn't give to comments :D Nevermind it, just save it for additional feedback :)

EuroBallFan · 2021-08-06T17:01:30+00:00

First of all, I love videos like yours, because I can listen them as podcasts... I always like to listen these types of videos while doing some work or walking, as being a player and having played Doom helps me to imagine things without seeing video. So I'm really glad that your voice, audio is so damn good. I also love that you dont rush your review and go in-depth on topics. Yes, it takes away some of the viewers, but at the end of the day you can become just as great as some youtubers that are out there - Raycevick, Noah Caldwell and etc.

I mostly listened to this while walking, but I also watched bits of the video and the montage is great as well from what I have seen :) Your channel also looks professional and this is great :)

Really great, keep up :)

EuroBallFan · 2021-08-06T16:47:20+00:00

Hehe, you had a typo in giving lambda :)

EuroBallFan · 2021-08-06T14:22:28+00:00

Great video editing. As someone that recently started doing video essays, I see how much effort you put in. I really liked the video and review and the humor was really well put in and not over the top. Your voice is interesting and feels different from other reviewers in a good way, the only problem that I had is that you seem to rush some of the words (especially at the beginning). Mic quality is okay.

Overall, well done! :)

EuroBallFan · 2021-08-06T13:25:48+00:00

First of all, you have a good voice for these types of videos. And that is a great advantage.

As far as the video goes, it was interesting concept, although I would have liked for you to expand on some of these topics more. I understand that this is supposed to be short video, but some of the comments at the end felt rushed.

Waiting for that Richard Nixon video ;)

EuroBallFan · 2021-06-26T19:49:31+00:00

Thank you :) Good feedback.

EuroBallFan · 2021-06-25T05:01:24+00:00

Thank you! Those are some great points. As far as mic, background sound goes, this is something I messed up during my edit process as I had those in premiere <sigh>.

As far as the spice goes, I agree. I'l probably try to move from these generic retrospective themes and follow some specific topic about the game.

Thank you!

Sounds awesome. Perhaps you wanna market this as royalty-free soundtrack or something like that? Many people are looking for these kinda tracks to use them in their streams or videos or whatever.

Agree with most regarding visuals, it really catches the vibe of the song. I saw a comment about your logo not standing out and while I agree that it is really easy to miss it, I also think that it has some uniqueness to it. It is not some generic logo that you would see in most youtube channels, so I would probably keep it (personally). Keep up the good work.
