FSN Wisconsin Score "Box"

[mrbergmann]

(Mods feel free to move if this is in the wrong forum)

 

While watching the spring training game today, did anyone else have issues with FSN's new score "box" in the upper-left corner of the screen. The inning and the Diamondbacks score was not even on my screen. Was it just my TV, is it a Dish Network issue, or was everyone noticing that?

 

I sure hope this isn't a problem next week when the games count!

mine seemed to work fine. I did notice that if I changed from widescreen to normal display, I lost the inning and Arizona score as well.

I didn't even look to see if the game was broadcast in HD but I had no problems in SD when watching on Dish Network... I think I was watching 444?

I could not get the game on Dish 444 (SD) then stumbled across it on WMLW. Saw the whole score box, didnt really like it...decided I will not watch or participate on chat if the game is not shown in HD.

I am spoiled, yes.

[mrbergmann]

Yeah, the game was only on WMLW. I had only half the box on SD, plus I checked my over-the-air antenna I have hooked up to my Dish box, and that had the same issue!

 

Is it just me or did anyone else have this problem??

[Cracked Bat Collector]

I had that problem last night and today for that score box as well.

[crossface21]

I watched some of the game last night and I had the same problem.

[Dragonbait]

They were sharing the broadcast with FSN-arizona, so the problem coulda been on the AZ end.

[trwi7]

I had the same problem the past two games. Annoying.

[mtrebs]

I remember when FSN switched to the score bar at the top of the screen a few years ago. They had it right up against the top and many TVs were cutting it off. They ended up lowering it down a bit very quickly, so hopefully if the problem is on their end they'll fix it soon.

[sgtcluels]

I thought they mentioned during the broadcast that they were sharing the feed with Fox Sports Southwest. My guess why it was janked up, they had logos and FSN just cropped it out. Part of the score got eaten with it.

I had no idea what you guys were talking about last week, but after seeing highlight after highlight on MLB Tonight from Opening Day, I now understand.

 

Why did FSN get rid of the BAR on the top of the screen? Going back to the corner graphic is kinda "meh" and reminds too much of a video game. I don't like it at all. Of course, I didn't like the BAR on the top of the screen when it first came out.

Didn't get a chance to catch any of the ST games, so today is my first time seeing the score box. What happened!?

 

I'm sure its already been discussed ad nauseam so I won't get into it..but yeah, I don't like it.

[ccbrew]

Also, to show how far behind I am in terms of TV broadcasts..since when did they become FS Wisconsin (instead of FSN)?

[steve267268]

Ha, that's funny. I'm getting FS Brewers

 

The new box looks okay, probably much better once it's in HD.

[adamb100]

The box is okay, I like it better than a long bar covering the top of the screen(plus it was ugly).

Anybody notice the score box was almost always behind in the count today and would suddenly have inaccurate scores whenever there was a score? I wonder if they're cutting corners in the truck like the rest of the economy.

I did notice that (the inaccurate scores that momentarily showed whenever there was a score change). Also, for the first couple of innings they were not showing the bases and if anyone was on base. I also don't like it when they don't show the speed of the pitches. I could care less how it looks, just give me all the information I'm use to getting.

[BoKnowsBall]

Is there anyplace where they are going to put pitch speeds in the box?

 

Edit- got beat to the punch

[Invader3K]

I like the new box. The bar across the top was starting to look kind of dated, in my opinion. I'm sure they can tweak the box to show pitch speed eventually, or just have it pop up somewhere else.

It wasn't just behind though. At times it was completely inaccurate.

 

Just a terrible broadcast yesterday, from the clowns in the studio (mainly Grayson, hiow the hell did he get this gig?), all the way to the guy who had trouble following the count for the ticker.

 

Also, did the Davey Nelson experiment officially come to an end, or does he only do home games?

[hawing]

I don't remember Davey being on the road last year, so that's my guess. We'll certainly find out this weekend.

[pitchleague]

Bill and Brian both said that Dave Nelson will be there in Milwaukee for the on-field stuff, so I imagine he'll be there for pre- and post-game stuff in Milwaukee.

 

The only thing about the the old score BAR that I thought was cheesy and bad was when a player hit a home run and it would change to some scrolling scoreboard matrix of the player's name and his home run total. I just didn't think the quality was there. I hope they still show the stat--but just do it as a stat overlay as the camera shows the player rounding the bases.

 

I also didn't miss all the darn sound effects when they are changing the graphics. All that buzzing, whirring, electrical sounds, etc can go, in my opinion.

Watching the Marlins game this afternoon on Extra Innings I saw that the pitch speed just goes up over the count and the outs
