rkolsen 1684 Posted August 11, 2017 Author Share Posted August 11, 2017 I don't see the EA look. I'd like to see a breakdown of which network had the most preemptions tonight?

oklahomanewsman 210 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 As a Dallas Cowboys fan I'm curious to see what graphics will look like this preseason or will it look the same as it's been for the past several years? KOCB in Oklahoma City is the Dallas Cowboys preseason television network affiliate Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15847-nfl-2017-18-season-coverage/page/2/#findComment-180742 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper550 291 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Chiefs appear to have upgraded themselves to the current CBS graphics. Looks nicer without the redundant CBS logo on it in my opinion.

Mrtraveler01 738 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Not the only one who noticed (oddly enough, Madden 16's UI seemed to be a knockoff of CBS's look) Considering that they used to have Nantz and Simmons as the announcers on Madden (although I don't think they are anymore), I don't think that it's a coincidence.

Viper550 291 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 On the other side of the coin, the Titans finally got new graphics too. Has a corner box and doesn't look like ancient CBS anymore.

Samantha 2895 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 The Arizona Cardinals have gone NBC.

In 2017, that honor goes to KPNX, KMSB/KTTU (Tucson) and KSNV (Las Vegas). Elsewhere: LA Rams: It's Altitude. Please update your Roboto. I implore you.

DonDonP1 118 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Dallas Cowboys Preseason games can be seen on these stations: August 12th at Los Angeles Rams - CBS11/NFL Network, 7:00 PM CT August 19th vs Miami Dolphins - CBS11/ NFL Network, 7:00 PM CT August 25th vs Seattle Seahawks - CBS11, 9:00 PM CT September 1st vs Houston Texans - CBS11, 7:00 PM CT May the best team win on the 25th. I may be a Seattle Seahawk fan, but I will always be a Dallas Cowboy fan at heart.

Viper550 291 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Actually, no. It's a knock-off of ESPN's old "metal" graphics that first debuted on MNF in 2009 (then a few years later they switched to that one with the obnoxiously large grey and red bar, rather than use the refresh they put on college football and NBA) Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15847-nfl-2017-18-season-coverage/page/2/#findComment-180855 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper550 291 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I think I mentioned that the Lions were just the Fox standard Seahawks: Fox scoreboard, custom L3s Chargers: Here's a new one, it's the Monday Night Football graphics but toned down/downgraded a bit. Yes, the Chargers like their cheapness. Always have, always will (is KABC putting a sort of bug or anything in the conspiciously blank space where the "ESPN MNF" logo usually goes?)

Deportes went 16:9 back in 2014, so it's no excuse at this point and KABC requires AFD#10 for their news presentation. It's an inexplicable choice, but since KFMB is still carrying preseason games as part of the Chargers network they probably made some choices to satisfy the San Diegans who haven't abandoned the team.

Well, it's not a 4:3 issue... [MEDIA=twitter]896918300117970945[/MEDIA] My guess is that sponsorships might be sold locally by this network into submarkets and this is the network feed. Large gaps in NFL preseason telecast graphics are prone to sponsorship logos. It is kind of a cheap version — no team colors (instead a slate gray), team logos cropped into circles... As to the Seahawks, their down-and-distance graphics seem to be kinda ancient. It is noteworthy that this is the post-SB51 Fox graphics with no translucent wrap around the boxes.

Viper550 291 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Actually, I think it's just the encoding on the video mudding the "frame" around it. It was still the standard scoreboard. I'm shocked they didn't get a football version of the ATTSN/Root Sports graphics going there; up until recently (when they started to just use Fox's current graphics), they were using whatever FSN/Root Northwest had graphics-wise, including the pillbox and metal pane, and the slanted Root Sports one). And looking around for pictures of people not watching on NFL Network, it was blank for everyone. Could have shoved a Chargers wordmark in there to make it look less blank.
