Jay_Mellowed 420 Posted February 3, 2020 Wanted to get you all's thoughts on the scorebug and overlays being utilized by Fox. I think they're pretty sharp. Fonts aren't illegible, the scorebug does well, showing the score and team logos at a good size. I hope they keep these for a long time, especially with a few tweaks. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kroywen 2,281 Posted February 3, 2020 Overall I really like these graphics - clear, concise, easy to read, and don't take up too much space. Not a fan of the down and distance marker on the field, or on the cartoon graphic that comes up whenever there's a touchdown. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sec19Row53 3,900 Posted February 3, 2020 I've never liked the down and distance on the field, but this was less obtrusive by having no background, so that makes it better. There were a few people watching tonight who mistakenly saw the play clock and thought it was the game clock. I'm not sure how you 'fix' that. I liked the more frequent use of updated individual player stats. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DEAD! 2,050 Posted February 3, 2020 I think the game clock should have been front and center and the play clock off to the side. The down and distance on the field is so unnecessary considering when you have that info on the score box itself. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
infrared41 9,208 Posted February 3, 2020 I liked it, but my better half hated the font. For whatever that's worth. Also, I thought the graphics used during the NFL 100 Team were amazing. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wackyriderfan14 57 Posted February 3, 2020 Im thinking they'll add a background on the down and distance by September. Would not be surprised if there was one next Saturday for XFL 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Curtos07 125 Posted February 3, 2020 I was kinda surprised they debuted the new graphics now instead of waiting until the fall. Typically Fox doesn't change their graphics during the Super Bowl or playoffs, unlike CBS and NBC. I got to assume CBS will roll out new graphics next year too since they've already used their current score bug/graphics for their last two Super Bowls, which is a rarity. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With regard to the down and distance on the field, the biggest problem was the location, not the lack of a colored background. Where it was placed, it was often obscured by players, depending on the formation. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dalcowboyfan92 424 Posted February 3, 2020 I liked it, just needs some minor cleaning up and tweaking. The down and yards to go overlay just needs to be a bit of a deeper color for the offense, so it doesn't have a chance to blend into the turf, or something. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WSU151 9,801 Posted February 3, 2020 Anyone notice on drive recaps and player stats that they tried to match the team fonts? Can't find a good picture now 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kmccarthy27 305 Posted February 3, 2020 The only thing I did not care for and it may just be a Super Bowl thing was the comic book drawings of all the players when a TD happened. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same. I found myself greatly disliking that particular graphics package. But overall, I found everything else appealing. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1990hornet 15 Posted February 3, 2020 I loved it. Felt like the artist who made it actually put effort in to it unlike the previous package which felt thrown together in paint in 5 minutes. Hope there is a MLB counter part ready to go for the upcoming season on local Fox Sports channels. Seeing as I'm a Rays fan, and our local broadcaster is Fox Sports Sun. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JayMac 3,817 Posted February 3, 2020 The comic book illustrations of the players would have been nice to use only for pregame starting lineups. It almost felt like they couldn't get updated pictures of the players and resorted to paying an artist a few bucks to draw the players' likenesses. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fbjim 92 Posted February 3, 2020 The bug itself is good but the massive TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!! graphics are obnoxious. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True, it looked like they half committed to doing a comic book theme or motif. If it was smaller like the size of the ticker during play, I think it could be better, but that would be just the font, minus the illustration. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
