CreamSoda Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 15 hours ago, the admiral said: 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. Yup, agreed. I hate score bugs that have shots on goal all the time and especially ones that the shots tally is nearly the same size as the score. As if there were some direct correlation or relevancy to that SOG count. It's too much and clutters up the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Hockey Twitter Coach's Corner would be a good bit but I don't really have proof-of-concept yet. Ron MacLean and a girl with purple hair and self-diagnosed "cartilage misalignment" crammed into a single camera shot, we'll work out the details later.

Kramerica Industries Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Shots on goal being a full-time feature on a score bug was never a feature until Fox networks began using them in 2014-'15, which really wasn't all that long ago when you really think about it. How did we survive all those years watching games without that information available at all times? Kinda like the full-time strike zones that are on almost every baseball broadcast these days, come to think of it. Really wasn't an addition we ever actually needed but now people will complain about whenever its missing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parallaxish Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Wow I missed a lot but that new Fox baseball bug is ugly as all hell. How have they gone from having the nicest uniform graphics in pretty much all of sports to having clashing, over-the-top, plain ugly graphics? You'd kinda figure they learned that less is more but oh well. Hockey is looking very nice so far, though! Not really feeling the AT&T bug (lots of padding everywhere and weird spacing) or the font choice on the TNT bug (Roboto?? this isn't 2014), but besides that, everything feels fresh and modern. Also can we please appreciate how nice the NHL on TNT set looks?? The video walls are stunning. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do the same for the NBA in a few weeks and it's probably the first time since like 2003 Turner Sports has had a unified graphics package for sports lololololol no they're bringing back the same NBA scorebug for like the 8th straight season 2 Quote Twitter: @RyanMcD29 // College Crosse: Where I write, chat, and infograph lacrosse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes this ten seasons. I can only wonder how many different score bugs/banners ESPN has used in that same time frame.

TheRealPepman Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Bothers me that the NBC regional networks are still using the 2015 NHL on NBC graphics and not the one that came out earlier this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 How crazy is it that Coach's Corner was seemingly shot in a broom closet for all those years? An intermission show with a single static camera. You may not have liked the xenophobia, but the production values were downright charming. 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...
Sport Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I like having the shot totals on the scorebug. Shots aren't a perfect metric for telling the true story of a hockey game, but they do a better job than nothing. I know I could just Watch The GameTM, but I like having them right there to refer to throughout. And it's helpful if I tune in late and see a team losing, let's say, 2-0 halfway through the second period, then it paints a better picture of what I've missed if I can immediately see what the shot totals are. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the current TNT score bug has been around since 2016, but there have been slight alterations to it since then. By comparison, here's the 2016 version: And here's the current version from a 2019 game, featuring the turrible on-court shot clock graphic: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
