ESPN's New Web Design
Makes my eyes want to vomit. It is unusable.

Re: ESPN's New Web Design
It's the worst. I hate it too. Everything is white. There's no separation of content. It's like everything was thrown at one big giant white wall and I have no idea where anything is anymore.
Reminds me of last football season when CBS Sports revamped their fantasy pages. It was brutal. I'm the commish in my local league and I hated everything about it. Trying to do even the simplest of tasks was a huge chore. Just terrible.
Sometimes change is good. Other times it's not. It's really really not.

Re: ESPN's New Web Design
I downloaded the MLB app specifically because I found the new ESPN content difficult to navigate. Is it my device or when you go to the "scores" page showing all the MLB games.. does the score get mixed with the icon showing who is on base? It is unreal if that is happening to everyone. What a mess.
Re: ESPN's New Web Design
Agree it's awful. They probably paid a fortune for it too

Re: ESPN's New Web Design
I did the exact same thing. I can't believe I didn't have the MLB At Bat app before this. Thanks to ESPN's redesign for that. I struggle with that site when I go there and trying to download scores is almost impossible on the iPhone. It just crashes all the time. I can't believe ESPN did the redesign the way they did. Very tough to navigate these days.Driver Love wrote:I downloaded the MLB app specifically because I found the new ESPN content difficult to navigate.

I can't decide what is more annoying...That ESPN only puts up 2 days worth of games on the upcoming schedule at a time, or that you can't read the entire day's schedule without having to scroll up and down,...or that clicking on the scores on the top of the page takes you straight to Gamecast rather than the box score.
Re: ESPN's New Web Design
ESPN has gone from my 'go to' place to my 'stay away' site.
It is hard to believe that a lot of brilliant folks thought that the new design was better than what they had.

I hated what Yahoo did last year as well.
Re: ESPN's New Web Design
Not justifying anything and can't check it out myself since I'm a PC guy but my understanding is the new design is due to the extreme number of users that use mobile. The number is goofy high.
Can't speak towards the box score issue.
