sportsfan0518 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 After all of the FSN baseball scoring graphics changed (except ROOT sports), I am not surprised that FOX changed their graphics also. I am trying to find a photo and I will post one soon. I don't like it that much, I hate the 3 dots for 3 outs and the teams are on opposite sides. What do you all think of it?UPDATE:BeforeAfter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generic Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 The old graphics look much more better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnsonville Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I prefer the old graphics.The scores on the new one seem as if they're extremely cramped and I don't like the dots for outs at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDC Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 They tried to model them after the football graphics, which were great. However, they really dont translate as well to baseball IMO. I love tho older onees ---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...
xTr1pleXx Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Much prefer the old graphics. As MDC said, the football graphics really don't translate all that well to baseball.Also, put a pitch counter on there. Ever since YES lead the way in adding a pitch counter onto their bug, I've hated having to watch a game without it. 1923 1927 1928 1932 1936 1937 1938 1939 1941 1943 1947 1949 1950 1951 1952 1953 1956 1958 1961 1962 1977 1978 1996 1998 1999 2000 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loogodude90 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 My favorite FOX BOX was the one that extended all the way across the top of the screen. WIZARDS ORIOLES CAPITALS RAVENS UNITED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CS85 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Is there a reason that Fox and other companies annually change their scorebug? I mean if you have one that works as well as last years did, why change it up for the hell of it? It'll all look good in HD so why bother?

nitroseed Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 ADD PITCH COUNT! YES Network does it.The new graphics do have a pitch count. In the screenshot above, the count is 1-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I think it's great. I was originally concerned about the gigantic score, but I think I figured out the reason for that. Fox Sports and Fox Sports Regional(at least our regional affiliate) have switched over have switched to exclusively showing games in widescreen format. For people with standard def, 4:3 TVs, that creates a wider but much, much smaller picture. The score at it's old size would be nearly unreadable depending on the size of ones TV. This seems like a decent compromise. JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STL FANATIC Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I love that information, but I feel like I don't want it clogging up my score bug. I wouldn't mind if it was one of those things that flashed up there in the same way MPH often does and then goes away.

DDR Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I love that information, but I feel like I don't want it clogging up my score bug. I wouldn't mind if it was one of those things that flashed up there in the same way MPH often does and then goes away.Yeah, I don't need to know the pitch count in the 3rd inning. I'm fine with the old fashioned way of having the announcers talk about how many pitches a guy's thrown if and when he's getting up there. What do I care that a starter has thrown 45 pitches through 4 innings? Or some middle reliever comes in for the top of the 7th and has thrown 14 pitches?

BrandMooreArt Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 i like it better but it still looks out of date. web 2.0 has been on the way out for a couple of years now. not that they shouldnt have gradients/highlights, but this looks like a button on a website made in 2001 GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE / MEDIUM / DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarsofthumper Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I love the player names and all that stuff, since it's a bit more readable. The scorebug I don't like though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990hornet Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I love the new graphics package. Then again I'm fro flashy and legible. IMO, last years graphics struck me as too generic, too much like they should be produced by a local news station and not enough like they're from a professional sports broadcaster.
