That was the only thing I disliked about the previous NBC scorebug, but this just looks goofy. Looks worse than every scorebug NBC has had since I started watching football in 2009. The previous one was dynamic, unique, and modern, though some of the shadows and textures didn't work. This is just awful. Not a single graphic looks good to me. Can't wait for 3 years from now when they change again. You say you started watching football in 2009, well let me show you what NBC was using in 2003 for it's Notre Dame games. Thankfully we were spared of seeing this often because NBC didn't have the rights to the NFL at the time. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird realizing the NBA On NBC didn't have a scorebug in it's final year. I didn't notice it back when when I was younger but now in retrospect I realize how ridiculous it was they broadcasted the 2003 Finals like that. Every network had one by then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroCree Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't the NBC MLB scorebugs continuous during the last 2 seasons? If that's the case, then it is weird they kept the pop in bug as long as they did for NBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigFiz21 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 The new scorebug for NBC is a toss-up for me. Not a fan of the fonts, but going compact is an interesting change away from how they've used a scorebar all through the SNF era to this point. I wonder if the possession indicator will be modified at preseason or the kickoff game, only because I don't know how confusing that half-circle highlight is or isn't. And, of coarse, there's my most hated feature of scorebugs since the rise of sports betting: showing the team's record. Like some others, I'd hope for the changes to carry over to their RSNs and any other sports featured on NBC now that it's without NBCSN. Not counting on it though since their RSNs are more likely to die out soon and the next best thing you'd find on NBC for sports is Notre Dame football, then arguably the Premier League or NASCAR as far as popularity and/or viewership.

Kind of funny how things have come full circle that way, yeah. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every network had one by then. 2002 was the last year of the NBA on NBC. There was no bug because Dick Ebersol thought showing the score would make people change the channel. Their AFC package never had bugs, either, right up to Super Bowl XXXII. 3 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removing the unnecessary gray underneath the scorebug and ticker and letting that space be transparent was a big improvement. Just wish the ticker itself was not continuous and only popped out once in a while, with the score bug otherwise being centered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delicate Genius Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Raptors wearing red. Clippers wearing black. It only makes sense to put the Raptors in black and Clippers in blue on the scorebug. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I know it's been said, but the Bally's sports scorebug is truly dreadful. Unbalanced, distracting, and not even designed for mobile. Just a miss in every possible way. 2 Quote 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroCree Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 ESPN doing retro graphics for the NBA 75th Anniversary. It's a neat concept but they should really have the graphics pop in and out to make it a bit more authentic during the game. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
