Is it just me or is it almost exactly like NFL Network's one?

It is no longer a simple bar it looks more like a badge. The dots on the sides are timeouts left.

Omg, don't even get me started lol. I have been complaining about their set up all season to my Friends. I hate it. The play clock thingamajig is horrible too. Where it kind of whinds down.

I was thinking the same thing.

I don't like that the dots blend in too much with the sides of the badge. I'd prefer the timeouts were shown in a more prominant fashion.......

I agree with this. Even in HD, it can be hard to see since the "lights" blend in with the badge. Just change them to yellow or something.
 
Before this year the Fox design was extremely outdated. Happy to see they actually put some effort into it. The play clock thing i don’t care for. Also, happy they got rid of the down and distance no longer on the ground. I think NBC has the best design/setup. CBS has the best music/intro.
 
Fox's best score/clock presentation was the very first season.
 
They need to get rid of that playclock they put on the field before someone trips over it...
 
I stopped drinking a few years back so the clock does not bother me at all. I can see the 3 dots just fine :laugh2:

It's like a video game to me ..

The redundancy seems a little pointless. They superimpose the down and distance on the field, and they list the down and distance in the FoxBox, even when you can see the down marker and the first down marker.
 
I liked the bar that stretched the entire width of the screen. Now, the widget is so far inside the screen in the safe frames it looks rediculous.
 
the play clock winding down is a joke. they even feel the need to give it a shadow.. lol
 
I prefer this box. It is easier and quicker for my eyes to glance at one corner of the screen and get most of the information I need on any given play as opposed to having to scan across the top of the screen.
 
The worst offender is NBC, who for some reason decided to insert a dark, gauzy filter on the bottom of the screen.
