Viper550 292 Posted December 12, 2020 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
dombrown2222 5 Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 American sports graphics continue to get bigger and bigger... 1
Spring Rubber 716 Posted December 13, 2020 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

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

ScottJ 134 Posted December 21, 2020 Posted December 21, 2020 The Fiesta Bowl on January 2 is Mike Golic's final assignment with ESPN.
CubsFan79 58 Posted December 21, 2020 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.
Viper550 292 Posted December 23, 2020 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

Viper550 292 Posted December 24, 2020 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

Viper550 292 Posted March 12, 2021 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
AaronQ 282 Posted May 14, 2021 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

Goodbye beIN Sports.
