Discussion TV Broadcast Graphics - Designs & Discussion

[new0066]

It came into my mind yesterday when Travis Head lopped one to midwicket. It was either a great shot to the boundary or a terrible one straight down a fielder's throat, but it wasn't until the camera moved as the ball landed before you knew that there was no fielder in sight.

Teams regularly move fielders around, particularly in short form cricket like BBL, but you don't get a picture of what's actually happening until the ball is already heading in that particular direction. Surely it wouldn't be too hard to implement with GPS tracking and a small corner of the screen.

They definitely have the ability since the fielding placements including players moving are shown sometimes on the screen.

I guess it’s just about 1 broadcaster putting it as a permanent feature and seeing the viewer feedback. If it’s positive then I can see other doing the same

Perhaps a dumb idea, but has a cricket broadcaster ever experimented with a field placement type of graphic that you see in the corner in computer games like Cricket 26? I think it's the main element of cricket missing when you're watching on TV rather than live at the venue.

I swear I've seen Fox use this graphic at times

It's used sporadically but never shown the full time. ICC broadcasts like the T20 world cups seem to use it a lot more frequently. This is the product: https://www.quidich.com/services/quidich-tracker-qt

7 has shown this sometimes before an over starts with Tests

Just used it twice today.

It’s used to show unique fielding, gaps in the field or a set plan to get a batter out etc

I'd like this to be more subtle, but shown permanently in the corner of the screen rather than only flashed up on occasion.

ATP and Tennis Australia with different graphics. The one above is the world feed.

Looks cleaner without the flags.

Seven used to have separate graphics as with Nine this year

That’s what I was going to say, those 9 graphics seem very similar to what 7 had for the AO when they covered it.

One of other networks have a more transparent version of the field ….and without the Toyota logo….

There are rumours that NBC new NFL scorebug will be revealed this week and not at the Super Bowl

Are we at the point with 4 year rotations they should just go every 2 years and unveil a new one the year after they host the superbowl

It's not that hard, is it Fox?

This annoyed me all summer.

As did when the speed comes up instead of the runs in an over that is not in vertically aligned correctly either.

Real lack of polish on their stuff this year.

As it was in Ricky Ponting International Cricket 2005 on the PS2, the field placement (with live ball tracking) should be on a permanent transparent overlay on all broadcasts.

 

[aCunningPlan]

I spent the afternoon watching games on Fox showcasing pretty much the whole variety of scorebugs and I think we can do better.
I'd like to see the total score become more prominent again, it really is the most important aspect of the scorebug. Absolutely still keep the goals and behinds but put them in a place where they can be alternated with stats when needed.

More Winter Olympics OBS graphics. Same typeface since Tokyo and I hope for an update in 2028

Beijing 2022's graphics were clean and easy to read

Font choice is the most important thing. Unfortunately it still sucks for the Olympics.

With the ABC getting VFL rights I wonder what type of scorebug they’ll have. I hope they have their own and not the AFL live stream

I hope they do as well. The ABC News graphics are quite clean, I'd love to see them riff off that. I had my own go at what that could look like. ABC Sport actually use two tone green, but for a Victorian comp I much preferred the blue they use for their news.



For some variety I'd like to see the Vic railway station codes used...
