tape breakdown

[footlocker]

I could really use some advise on tape analysis. I have about 8 games from this summer I want to breakdown and I could use everyone's experience here. If there is a 'scientific' way (or any good method) to break it down then let me know.

-Are there certain things you always look for?
-Are there any unique things that have come up in your pasts that help you with tape breakdown?

Anything that will help is appreciated. Thanks.
