Viper550 262 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Major waste of space. If they just laid it out like the CBB one this actually wouldn't be too bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring Rubber 592 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I never like large graphics that hug the bottom of the screen with no gap. It feels so claustrophobic. Don't they basically modify the NBA score graphic almost every season now? It seems absurd. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's to make it easier for people watching on mobile devices to be able to read the graphics better. Smaller screens need bigger graphics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smaller screens need bigger graphics. I feel as if we are the only country following this trend though...compare our graphics to those in a country like England or Australia. Even TSN and Sportsnet in Canada have relatively smaller graphics to some of those here in the U.S. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just glad they haven't begun to stack scoreboards in the vertical video space to solely appeal to social media users. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubsFan79 57 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Other than amazon having Thursday Night Football, why not go back when games were played on Saturdays after the end of College Football regular season. It is what NBC and CBS did in the 1970’s and 1980’s.. I like the current CBS/FOX Sunday afternoon games and NBC on Sunday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper550 262 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) Meanwhile north of the border, TSN is finally rolling out a new insert graphics package, and unlike last time they had a major graphics update (last decade, where it took at 2-3 years for them to actually roll out every element since they only seemed to update the scoreboards at first, and then only use the new L3s/etc. around the 2013 Grey Cup, and then on SportsCentre after they got a set update). Unsurprisingly, it's flat and boxy, and we also have "pane" L3s too. The World Junior Hockey Championships pre-tournament games tonight appear to be the first in-game use of them. The score box isn't that much different from what they had before. Edited December 23, 2020 by Viper550 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper550 262 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 NBA got the new graphics too for Raptors games; basically the same layout as before, but moved to the bottom-left. That placement isn't very good, to be honest, but at least it's not a monstrosity like the American Mothership Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper550 262 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) NCAA tournaments are getting a new graphics scheme Though, I don't know how much of this will be used in-game; they've typically used the inserts in parallel with whatever their "default" graphics were (i.e. the old white boxes one; the FCS college football tournament and the women's basketball tournaments have just used whatever the CFB/CBB package is) Edited March 14, 2021 by Viper550 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronQ 254 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) Couple of news today in the ESPN world: ESPN and MLB reached a long-term extension for 7 years And ESPN has reached a long-term agreement with Spain's La Liga for the next 8 seasons (through the 2028-29 season). The deal includes the broadcast rights in Canada on TSN and RDS. The new deal will kick starting in the 2021-22 season. https://espnpressroom.com/us/press-releases/2021/05/espn-and-laliga-reach-historic-rights-agreement-bringing-top-rated-soccer-league-to-millions-more-fans-across-the-u-s/ Edited May 14, 2021 by AaronQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
