Cujo Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I only noticed the flipping "Super Boxl XLIII/Down & Yards" box during the game -- but after seeing these screenshots, I can see the changes and say it's a definite upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRice16 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Updates don't have to be elablorate, I like the simplicity of this one. Barely noticable, but an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GottaDeal Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Looks like they smoothed out the very bottom of the score bar. It used to have that awful chain-link fence took to it, but for the game it was just a smooth semi-transparent bar, like they always used on the pre- and post-game shows.

TheOldRoman Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Smaller is better, but they didn't adress the biggest problem - the ridiculous mesh looking thing underneath the score bar. It is a few steps above Fox's asinine robot sounds following scores in the MLB playoffs, but it is still unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenaciousG Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 First, let me say I love the new graphics. It looks like what the original package should have looked like.One really random thing I noticed, though. When the Steelers were up 20-14, and they did the big scorebug to go to commercial, the 20 didn't line up vertically with the 14 like it should. I don't have a picture, but it bugged the heck out of me. It almost looked like the "20" and the "14" were in different fonts.

I can't believe you remembered the score And the screenshot confirms it. Ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikmurphy Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 nice improvements and revamped snf on nbc themedoes anyone know where i can hear/download the super bowl version of the theme?

dbackdiehard17 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 It's about time! For years reading the scoreboard without HD on NBC broadcasts was way harder than it should have been. Now they have a fantastic looking graphic package. Kudos NBC, I love the NEW look! High Quality Entertainment for the masses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scraw28 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 the team logos almost looks like fox's box logos with the exception of the red background under the cardinals logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scraw28 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I would say NBC will go back to the old graphics and music for the preseason but see the revamped version for the 2009 regular season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSky Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Saw a few minutes of the old Super Bowls NFL Network had on over the last couple of weeks. It's a real eye-opener to go back and look at THOSE graphics. Compared to today, they look like something a high school art class threw together. And it was the state of the art back then.

The_Admiral Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Wow, I didn't even notice. How about that. It looks much better, though, making the old stuff seem primitive in ways it didn't seem when it was in use.The John Williams music wasn't improved, though. Made it worse. "Let's take an orchestral piece and make it rawk!" is the sort of swing-and-miss I'd expect in the year 2000!, but NBC should know better than to tamper with its John Williams library. Let's put a killer solo in the Nightly News music while we're at it. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMcD29 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 The new look didn't carry over for the NHL on NBC or Pro Bowl today. I'm guessing we won't see it again until either the US Open at Bethpage, Stanley Cup Playoffs/Finals, or the start of the NFL season next year Twitter: @RyanMcD29 // College Crosse: Where I write, chat, and infograph lacrosse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
