NFL Sunday — RedZone-Style Game Broadcast (3D)

What this is

A single-file autonomous 3D NFL Sunday game broadcast. 22 players on the field. 4 quarters. Real drive engine. Touchdowns. Field goals. Interceptions. ALL-22 PIP. Around-the-league ticker. New game every restart. Forever.

Why this is mind-blowing

Kickoff. End zones painted Brooklyn purple and Phoenix copper for this week. Bill (white chyron): "Here we go, 1st and 10 from the BKN 25." Tank (gold chyron): "BKN's been moving the ball all year — watch for the play-action shot." Drive panel reads: "DRIVE: BKN • 0 plays • 0 yds • 0:00." SkyCam frames the formation. ALL-22 PIP shows BKN in shotgun trips right.

Q2. RedZoneCam fires. BKN at the PHX 8. Snap. Tank: "PLAY-ACTION! TIGHT END WIDE OPEN!" Bigflash banner: "TOUCHDOWN! BROOKLYN!" Crowd waveform spikes. Ticker scrolls past: "NYG 14 DAL 21 — 4Q • CHI 10 GB 17 — HALF • BREAKING: KC inactives announced." Drive panel updates: "DRIVE: BKN • 9 plays • 75 yds • 4:12."

Q4. PHX trailing by 4. ISO cam locks on the QB. "3rd and 9 — game on the line." Sack. Punt. BKN kneels. "FINAL: Brooklyn 24, Phoenix 17." Postgame overlay. Around-the-league ticker freezes the day's scoreboard. Restart. "GAME #2." New teams. Endzones repaint. Loop.

What I learned shipping it

End zones repainted with the two playing teams' colors is the signature 'this is OUR game' broadcast hook — same field mesh, but a `CanvasTexture` regenerated per matchup makes every game feel branded.

ALL-22 PIP (a second renderer with a top-down camera over the same scene) is what coaches study in film rooms — putting it on screen during the broadcast lets the viewer SEE the formation in a way the main sideline cam never can.

A drive engine that advances yards by `play_call_vs_defense` matrix (run/pass × stuff/normal/big-play) is enough to produce realistic-feeling drives — you don't need a full physics sim, just a probability table and good play-naming.
