A3N 996 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 FOX Sports San Diego debuted the new MLB on FOX Graphics (pics below). The scorebox (FOXbox) has moved to the bottom left hand corner, and is more plain (not a fan) although it is much cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColumbusNewsFan 217 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I want to like I really do... But I not a fan of them not for the placement but for blandness of it. It just looks bad as in Let's go the opposite of loud and flashy to tone it down as possible. A little bit of color can do wonders for this package, but this version I'm not liking the sheer amount of blue and blandness here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer the use of red for the Indians instead of blue In the last version of the box, they were in blue, but a different shade to match their respective team colors. This blue matches the rest of graphics. I hope they do some tweaking because the rest of the graphics look really good, especially the transition graphics and full screens. I also miss the team logos in the fox box. Not bad overall, it just needs some tweaking to get rid of the blandness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5276 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Okay, looking at this picture from the Fox graphics thread, my 20/20 vision has determined that they are using different shades of blue for each team, though it is incredibly hard to tell at first...

Viper550 268 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I begin wondering; will YES be forced to use this cause Fox is majority owner now, or will they pull a BTN and give it a package with technical similarities, but otherwise different?

Mrtraveler01 737 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 The Dodgers are now on Sportnet LA (run by Time Warner Cable Sportsnet). They had an exhibition game between the Dodgers and the Angels when the earthquake happened there yesterday but it gives you a peek at what the graphics look like. http://m.mlb.com/video/v31704929/laalad-freeway-series-rattled-by-earthquake-tremors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume New York gets special treatment kind of like how SNY gets to keep their own graphics instead of using the CSN ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A3N 996 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 Here is a pic of the end of the open. These industrial look/beams were used in promos a few years ago for the all star game, and it looks like they brought them into the graphics fold permanently. Here is the SportsNet LA look, very nice and clean IMO: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mannym13 15 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 With SNB starting tonight, what are the chances we see new ESPN graphics, since they're almost 4 years old and the only change was from 2010 to 2011? I wonder if they adopt the new, dark gray look of MNF and the NBA, I really like those. They need an update, badly, especially since they have a Wild Card game this year. As for FOX, I think adding team logos just to the left of the city and having team specific colors for box with the abbreviations would do wonders for the box. FOX did a complete 180, going from the most in-your-face graphics to the most bland, and they're trying to go too basic on the FOXBox, but the L3s are great, I will give them credit for that, but sometimes I feel the graphics belong on a Madden game.

Viper550 268 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Baseball Tonight's graphics seem different; they seem to be taking elements from the Monday Night Countdown graphics. Oh, and lots of fences and girders. edit: Aww; looks like no change so far. They pulled a repeat of what they did for college football: update everything but the actual in-game graphics.

Viper550 268 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 No change at Sportsnet (Blue Jays), though they did update the intro. The 3D graphics they had for certain things (i.e. starting orders and the like) are back and still look way better than anything else. But they're still using these ugly, boxy, black and silver L3's that do not fit the design direction they've been going in at all; there's been a newer dark grey/blue ticker adapted from Sportsnet 360 lately, and similarly styled topic graphics for segments in pre-game/news shows (kinda like ESPN's "banners", and a completely different scoreboard since last year (the old one was based more off this black/silver L3) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially considering that it will be their first year of the exclusive national rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though, I do recall Sportsnet waiting for the home opener before shifting to what was probably best look behind what they're hopefully evolving towards right now This could have been perfect had they slapped team logos/colors into it. Meanwhile, Sportsnet's game production conked out, so now Canada gets to see what Fox has done. My dad doesn't mind it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColumbusNewsFan 217 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Alright has seen it in action with The STO broadcast now. It doesn't look half bad with team color. Indians are primarily blue in the FOX graphics, but my big complaints of blandness are still there, but also I got to remember that they are getting US Open next year so that probably played a major reason for graphics change.
