What Do You Think of the New Fox Game Bar?

[Avery]

Anyone watching the new Gints/Chefs game? They're debuting their new graphical format.

Looks okay, but I prefer last year's more. The numbers were easier to see and it took me a few moments to realize that quarters isn't represented by numbers but by tiny yellow dots. The words and numbers are WAY too small.

It seems like the networks are saying, if you do't have hi-def widescreen, screw you. It looks fine on my TV, but I can see how it could get annoying if it was a little fuzzy.

It looks great in HD. Much better than the last two years.

It'll drive my parents crazy, but I can see fine

 

[TheKey]

Yeah it took me forever to realize what quarter it was.

 

[TRUTH87]

Havent seen the Fox one. But I did see the ESPN one.

Me too. Whoever thought up dots as quarter markers are idiots.

Change the dots to simply say '1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th' and it'd be easier.

This is what happens when people overthink themselves. They think, "What would be so new-age that people would just think, 'WOW, I love this!'"

Now, the problem that they've caused is that while it might look "new age", it fails to serve it's main purpose, show the score and time.

I liked last year's better. I can see it fine, but I would understand why it'd give people fits.

Did anyone notice how they only use lke 1/4 of the bar, and the rest is just blank?

Dots as quarters are the Dennis Miller of the football graphics world.

I've watched seriously since 2003.

[JSP21]

I hate it. But then again, I don't have HDTV.

But when viewing earlier tonite, I thought it was the 4th quarter for some reason in the Chiefs game. Turned it on an hour and a half later, and it's still on, I was like ***. HAHA
