Lights Out Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Unpopular opinion: I actually liked TBS' score bug from last year. They definitely needed to shrink it down a bit, but other than that, there was nothing wrong with the design. The one they had before that was also excellent. 4 Quote POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroCree Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 This one is my favorite TBS bug. 7 hours ago, Lights Out said: I think the one they currently have is good but all they have to do is make it a little bit bigger. TBS when it comes to how they present baseball, I'm not a fan of. I remember during the 2015 NLCS they made a routine pop fly look like a home run which was the weirdest thing ever.

AstroCree Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Oh and someone in the TBS booth ruined the last out in both the NLDS and NLCS by snickering as the Mets were celebrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FSUViking Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 The answer is obvious....so when my mom sits down to watch a quarter or so with me she can see the answer to the inevitable question (Is...so-and-so a good team?) Networks don't have the luxury of assuming 99% of the audience knows everything about the sport they're watching. It's getting as much information to the masses as possible. I think some people assume the sports world is active on this forum and networks and schools/teams cater to our desires, wants, and needs. I rarely watch soccer, but when I do I like to have as much info on the screen for me as possible. My mom might watch 4 football games a year. This info is for her, not me, who spends 12 hours every Sunday (and Saturday) watching football wire to wire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeauXone Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 They could've done a much better job with those team records. They look like they were just thrown in wherever they had space, regardless of how it would end up looking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayMac Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Why do the timeout markers need to be long bars? Why not just dots? That way, you can center the record a little more to be underneath the team abbreviation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way, you can center the record a little more to be underneath the team abbreviation. i'd still pull the WL record off, but i've always liked the TO's to be indicated by circles too. the entire bug is rectangles, so having that contrast in shape would be useful when applied to the appropriate info and i think TO's would be served well there. if someone said "we're doing what i want and the WL record needs to be displayed" i would move it up next to the team abbreviations. you're going to associate it with whatever its next to, so it doesn't make sense to have it next to the TO count. details like that really make or break the readability of a bug for casual fans. its all about good communication of information 3 Quote GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE / MEDIUM / DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Est1980 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 oh, I love this thread. For me, NFL on NBC (1990-1994). The font, the helmets, line-ups, game-updates/breaks...my favorite. Really enjoyed how things like the line-ups were subtle and were adjusted based on a certain formation. I think I prefer the minimal stuff than today's photo or live clip of a players torso on a stat line or line-up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
