TrueYankee26 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Can't wait for the home run graphic. I bet it will be every bit as gaudy as the touchdown graphic from the football coverage. Quote trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CreamSoda Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Lol. How did this make it to TV. Easily one of the worst bugs in sports history. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silence of the Rams Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 My guess is with this it's gonna be a slow rollout of the NFL style Package for fox. 2022 Daytona 500 will be something to look for then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMcD29 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Leave it to Fox to come up with one of the worst scorebug redesigns I've ever seen. Also gets into my nitpick of networks not having unified looks and boy this clearly is meant for only baseball and it looks so out of place with everything else On a side note, ESPN's new graphics set for the NHL based on The Point show looks pretty slick, utilizing both primary and secondary colors for teams. Wait and see on the in-game graphics but so far so good 2 Quote Twitter: @RyanMcD29 // College Crosse: Where I write, chat, and infograph lacrosse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VandyDelphia Mike Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 US national hockey broadcasts loving that upper left score placement! ESPN recycling the music from their last foray into NHL broadcasts, too. 4 Quote NCAA Baseball Champions | 2014, 2019 facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "aerial" cam view will take some getting used to, but I think it's useful to get a better view of the near boards that typically obstructed. Gosh! I love that they brought back the theme!

CreamSoda Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 ESPN nailed their graphics package. I was worried they were gonna use the boring NCAA hockey bug. Fantastic work by ESPN and their presentation is already 10x better than anything NBCSN ever did. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMcD29 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Sportsnet finally finally finally updated their graphics package. Quite bright but otherwise thank god that 2009 ass scorebug is gone 5 Quote Twitter: @RyanMcD29 // College Crosse: Where I write, chat, and infograph lacrosse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every now and then seems appropriate for the shots on goal stat. For me, I need to see it as often as hits and errors on a baseball broadcast. Maybe even less. Others may differ. 4 Quote NCAA Baseball Champions | 2014, 2019 facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way to do the shot count is to throw it up only at stoppages. Ideally, with all manner of shots flying about and shots on goal not telling the whole story, you'd want to break the count into on/missed/blocked to get a full picture of scoring attempts. You don't need all those numbers running in real time, and they'd probably be inaccurate anyway. It only needs to come up intermittently. 1 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just watch and know the basic rules. My raitonale behind SOGs being shown all the time was that most networks that air the NHL (like TNT, Sportsnet, TSN, and Bally) are doing it.

The_Admiral Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 The NBC/Comcast RSNs have been a holdout on running a constant shot count, which I appreciate. It can become information overload in a hurry. But I really do think that if you're going to communicate shot information on screen, you need to display all three "flavors" of attempts to really quantify the possession game. Otherwise, you're just tracking goalie stats. 1 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
