mjrbaseball Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Curious as to why CBS puts the scoreboard on the bottom of the screen like it is now for the Indiana/Kentucky game, but for the SEC football games it's on top. I prefer it on the bottom if it's a screen to screen bar. Also at least "appreciate" how CBS attempts to fade it out on the edges, unlike ESPN who just makes it solid black.Both CBS and ABC typically put football scorebars at the top, and basketball at the bottom.

VandyDelphia Mike Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Big Ten Network has moved its score bar to the bottom and reduced its size to not go from edge to edge anymore.Upgrade IMO.

FSUViking Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 Meanwhile, ESPN has found a way to cram even MORE crap on the screen. During the Poinsettia Bowl they had the Bottom Line on the screen, the scoreboard across the top, and then above the scoreboard a continuos scroll of moronic IM's from people watching the game.

It was interactive (and very annoying). I like the timeouts on ESPN. Far more than I like the on-field graphics, with the exception of the first down line. As stated earlier, just because you CAN do something like that doesn't mean you HAVE to do it. It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 37" Vizio and it still annoyed the crap out of me. Especially since the announcers kept pointing it out and kept on with the "Hey! Look at the top! Read our online reader comments!"

sweeper13 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I hate the fox scoreboard at the very top there is a little bit of just plain black that make the picture feel compressed. I didn't notice it until I got my new tv last month and I can't stand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Bumping this thread because I have a question about hockey score bugs around the league, after watching yesterday evening's Stars-Hawks tilt on WGN, whose bug takes up a lot of screen space without really providing a lot of necessary information. In fact, they could stand to convey more. Does any team's coverage denote TV timeouts? Since the timeouts are regularly scheduled for stoppages at/past 6, 10, and 14 of every period, maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to show this on the scoreboard so that newer fans might pick up on the rhythm of the game. One way of doing it would be a cross between ESPN's college football timeout display and a traffic light, with three little dots beneath the clock:Green: the clock is runningYellow: 6, 10, or 14 has been hit, and the next stoppage will be a two-minute timeout.Red: The clock has stopped and a TV timeout will be taken.(Optional would be black or unlit once a timeout is accounted for.)Is this something worth implementing, or would it just be completely extraneous clutter? Have I been beaten to the punch on this one? ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
