patsox Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 The scoreboard is all the way up in the left corner on the HD broadcast, rather than in the spot where the corner of an SD broadcast would be.Scratch that ^. I thought they were doing what they've been doing for the MLB broadcasts when they said SD viewers would get the letterbox view. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZCdAWXnYb4Additional video coming soon...edit: no more video. the file is too big to email and i can't figure out how to get the video from my phone to my laptop without emailing it .

vikmurphy Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 i like it. It takes up less of the screen and they went back to the logos which i like. I can't wait for opening day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Looks slick. Plus, I like that the bar is gone. Was never a huge fan of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMcD29 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 The stat overlays look even better than the score bug. I really like the direction Fox took with these graphics...Now for them to implement them with MLB and NASCAR so there's some consistency, which they rarely do with their MLB package anyway (it's usually a year behind the NFL graphics though they've been using the FSN graphics for two years, completely different than the NFL and NASCAR look), but I digress Twitter: @RyanMcD29 // College Crosse: Where I write, chat, and infograph lacrosse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VandyDelphia Mike Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 For me, it passes the "Can I see the score in a bar" test. Plus a bar across the entirety of a widescreen image was just overkill and I am glad that is gone.

GottaDeal Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 The scoreboard is all the way up in the left corner on the HD broadcast, rather than in the spot where the corner of an SD broadcast would be.No, it's still in the 4:3 corner. There is a lot of space between the box and the edge of the screen. Same with the FOX Sports logo on the other side. But it's still a nice change. Their old bar was pretty good and used a compact, easy-to-read font, and this new style works as well while eliminating the extra clutter that comes with a full bar.

The_Admiral Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I felt three-letters were more professional than logos last time Fox tried this and I'm sticking to it. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEW.ERA Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Looks bad in non HD.But from the HD Pics I really like it. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDC Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I felt three-letters were more professional than logos last time Fox tried this and I'm sticking to it.Yeah, I liked those too, they could throw an ATL and NE very easily on top of the score bug. I do like the whole thing though. Its better than ESPN randomly using jersey wordmarks for NBA coverage ---Owner of the NHA's Philadelphia Quakers, the UBA's Chicago Skyliners, and the CFA's Portland Beavers (2010 CFA2 Champions)--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990hornet Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I love it, and I'm not worried about professional, I'm worried about looking good which it does. So Like I said I LOVE it! 5 out of 5 Can't wait till the first Bucs game with these, and I do hope they get something like this for the MLB.

Lights Out Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I don't think it's unprofessional at all. I would hope that people could at least recognize their team based on logo. Overall, a pretty clean compact look. Definitely beats that near-unreadable scorebar they've been using. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loogodude90 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 As a sidenote, (not to derail the thread), I was watching the O's-Rays (baseball) game on Fox last Sat. on my SD TV. The first MLB on FOX game I've seen this season. And the font on the FOX BOX and most of the other "stat" graphics looked REALLY small, probably the smallest I've ever seen it. It's basically so small its illegible. I wonder if anyone else has this problem. It's like you can't enjoy the game unless you have a large HD TV.

I didn't like it. Luckily, as soon as I finish watching the rest of the stuff on my DVR, I'll be trading in my box for an HD box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vmd9 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 It is great, I just hope CBS updates theirs now. As a Browns fan, almost all the games I watch are on CBS and it's terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
