That massive score at the bottom of the screen must go

[Tarkyn_24]

Agreed OP. Someone please reset GWS to zero

I wonder how much the use of mobile devices and watching the coverage from each broadcasters respective apps influenced the sizing decision. It’s jarring on TV for sure, and I’d prefer it be smaller but it’s not the end of the world and I’m sure I’ll get used to it.

Watched today’s game through my phone, and I didn’t find it as jarring.

It’s bad on the big screen.

Don’t mind it.

My old dad would have loved it.

You're missing that hideous thing Fox Footy had back in 2008. Blue and Orange, you could barely see the score itself.

 

[Stealth82]

I like it!!

 

[Heaps of fun]

Collingwood's score didn't look that big.

Watching on TV, you want to see as much as you can of the wider view. The score bar just blocks out players at the bottom of the screen that you want to see.

Make it smaller and in a top corner where it probably won't block anything you want to see.

But I suspect it's as large as it is for the tiny minority of people watching on phones

Just fix it

I find it interesting that for the replays they zap this score bar, yet for live play we have to tolerate it - WHY??

Glad I bought an 85" inch tv so I can have 400cm2 of scoreboard at the bottom.

It's ****ing horrible

if they insist on that size they could at least change the transparency. doesn't have to be gigantic solid bricks of colour.

On 7, the new score graphic size and location was less noticeable this round. But it still is not in a good spot and should really be reduced in size and shifted to the bottom left or top left like before.

 

[Billy ray]

I quite enjoyed the massive score

I quite enjoyed the massive score

Why?

 

[Billy ray]

Why?

Good to see the suns and eagles scores with the margin

 

[99cents]

kayo one impedes viewing the game. Top of screen would be better

 

[HirdsTheWord]

dont like it

way too big.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Given they didn’t change it round 1, I would say it is going to stay

 

[Elixuh]

It’s grown on me

The Fox one is pointlessly obnoxious. Yes, its Saturday, I knew that already. If that was used for the time or something, its just over-sized but possibly useful on phone or tablet. But the block that says it friday night, or super saturday, wasted real estate.

Now, there a thought for the apps. Fox could run two feeds. If on cable, show the TV version.
Otherwise, detect the device and send the graphics corresponding to either TV (for TV, laptop, desktop) or handheld (phone, tablet). The those viewing on a larger screen don't get such oversized graphic. A bit of faffing about with software, but should be technically doable.

Easier to just put a click/colour button in the corner and let the viewer decide if they want it depending on what they are viewing it on.

 

[Osho]

Didn't really notice it. Was busy watching the footy.

 

[kickazz]

And we don't need to know who the commentators are every 5 minutes lol

Yep, if at all.

Perhaps they could flash the name up for a few seconds after one of them says something stupid. Otherwise it is not required.

I like the numbers being on top of one another.
