dbackdiehard17 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I'm surprised no one's started this topic, unless I flat out missed it.What do you guys think of the new graphics for the NCAA Tournament? And new updated music while we're at it?I like it, but I don't know if I love it. Then again, I don't have TRUTV in HD. (found a good look of it on MMOD)Is anyone even watching First Four?Answer away! High Quality Entertainment for the masses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltjets21 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I like the updated scoreboard but I liked the old music better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PackerBadger Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Graphics look fine. Floor does not. Another year where every floor looks like every other, as if there is no difference between arenas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn93 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Graphics look fine. Floor does not. Another year where every floor looks like every other, as if there is no difference between arenas.The only exception I saw was the logo of the host institution (Dayton in this instance) is out of bounds in the corner instead of along the benches. They should at least colorize each floor depending on the host or (I wish) to go back to the regular floors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFanBudMan Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 The graphics remind me of the old CBS graphics that I believe were also used on the Sega Genesis Coach K game.So at first glance, I love them.EDIT: OK, maybe they aren't so close, or they'vebeen slowly evolving from that time and I hadn't noticed.

altosax29b Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Until they go back to the original version of the theme music the presentation will just never be as good as it can be. I'm talking about this version: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEW.ERA Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I love the new graphics and the tweaking on the music, also the opening video was awesome.Really thought Turner joining up with CBS would be terrible... the only thing that is terrible is Sir Charles and Kenny Smith.

wyopokes2 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I don't really like the graphics, and I especially dislike the music change. Maybe it will grow on me, but I doubt it. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmm Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 anybody have a link to the tweaked theme music?Go here: http://www.ncaa.com/mmod/player/console.htmlClick on yesterday (3/15). Choose highlights from one of the games. Then in the highlight window, choose replay. Watch some ads and then the pre-game intro/theme music comes on.

arkansasdolfan Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 First of all, the music is better than the most recent cut that was much more of a remix than the original posted here. It is interesting that this new cut (like ESPN's updated college football theme) is a lot 'smoother.'As for the graphics, I absolutely love them. I have grown tired of the basic CBS Sports graphics package that debuted during the 2006 NFL season, so this is a very nice refresh. I do have some concern that some of the full screens look a lot like ESPN, but it isn't overt.The open was great, the best one since the basketball laser shooting a beam inside the arena in the late 90's.Overall, like the OP, I expected the Turner/CBS joint production to be horrible, but everything went better than expected.

Obviously they have gotten rid of the frustration of CBS turning off your school's game in the middle of play, but they also have a lot more analysis it seems, and the motion graphics and intro are great. Like I said, though, I really hope they go back to the original music, who cares if it's from the early 90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy510 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 TNT's using Northern Arizona's logo instead of Northern Colorado's for their game against San Diego State right now.EDIT: And coming back now, it looks like they got it switched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I can see the need for balance if you're gonna put the channel logo in the middle.I'd rather see the channel logo to one side, the region/round info removed and more space devoted to the most important into -- the score.

FSUViking Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I love the new graphics! Love the way the team colors really pop surrounded by black. I hope they incorporate them into college football and the NFL next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
