jkrdevil Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Just turned on MNF and it looks like ESPN has a new graphic package for it. The new in-game scorebar is very different. It's readable and at the bottom but won't be confused for the bottom line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMcD29 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Looked good until the scoreboard. Gonna take a while to get used to Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharos04 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 why is it like dead center in the bottom of the screen and overly large. seems like it can be just in the way a lot easier than the side box CBS uses or the top bar FOX uses. Just kinda hovering there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_YouKnowWhatThatMeans Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Wow. Terrible. I guess they're doing something different, but that's awful. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfen29 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 The players aren't still introducing themselves like they did on ABC? I used to watch the first 5-10mins just to see that: unbelievable unintentional comedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doafhat Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 The players aren't still introducing themselves like they did on ABC? I used to watch the first 5-10mins just to see that: unbelievable unintentional comedy. Nope, they're doing the traditional starting line-ups again.

marlinfan Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 This looks like something Fox would have come out with in the mid 90s. Terrible. 1997 | 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonz Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 At first I really didn't like it. After watching for a bit I'm kinda used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number81 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 totally ridiculous. i'm thanking my lucky stars that denver only plays one MNF game this season. http://anyonebutdetroit.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAsterisk Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 It looks like a cross between a robot from a Sonic the Hedgehog game and one of those vacuum tube canisters you put your money in at the bank. Except worse, because it has annoying lights and sound effects.ESPN had a really nice, coherent graphics package (somewhat; the Bottomline has never caught up with the new bold-colored angular scheme) going, and I even gave them a pass on the scorebox, whereas usually I'm a scorebar-all-the-way guy. All blasted to hell with this slipping, sliding, flipping, flashing monstrosity of a graphics scheme.Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WJMorris3 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I just tuned in... does the down and distance appear on whichever side has the ball?EDIT: Yep, they do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportsmanTO Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 At least the text is readable unlike NBC which I have to squint at. The score box looks like a hold over from the World Cup. I mean the placement and all just reminds me of the international feed of the WC games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGivens87 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I don't like it at all...like someone just said, it just kinda floats there. Ugh.FOX and CBS got it right - upper left hand corner, thanks.Also, one thing I really can't stand about MNF is the damn sideline reports every 50 seconds. I like Michelle Tafoya and all, but c'mon, I don't give a crap what Brad Johnson thinks about Daunte Culpepper being in Miami. That and the stupid questions for Tony Kornheiser (who I like, his observations are almost Cosell-like, if I do say so myself) just make the whole production almost unbearable.I'm trying to watch a game here! A large cheese pizza, just for me.New England's source for soccer newsAnd hey, I made it to ESPN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZBoyer Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 At least it's readable...but it's terrible. I understand they want to try to center things, or at least give them the bar along the top because of the HD broadcasts, but this instability with all of the graphics packages just doesn't make any of it look good.I mean, I understand that the box floats about a quarter of the way through the screen on the HD broadcasts, but what they don't seem to realize is that either way, the picture is centered on the screen. Whether or not a bit of the peripheral area is cut off for the HD broadcasts doesn't matter to me; the action will be centered anyways.Sigh...how I long for the days with boxes in the upper corners.

oddball Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I like it. It's simple and everything that you need is there. It may be a bit high, but overall I give it an "A". I've never understood why you need a bar all the way across the screen. Just put up the teams, the score, the quarter and time left. For those of us on a smaller television this is a welcome site. I can actually see that there's a game and not graphics across the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
