Just a few days ago, we mentioned the Madden NFL 13 scoreboard banner needed an adjustment.

With the help of the CD guys spreading the word and ideas from everyone here at OS, it looks like we have a winner.

Check out the new and improved Madden NFL 13 scoreboard banner.

I think there should be an option for top or bottom.

Still missing posession indicator but looks nice...

Forgot about that.

This is a must have!

This is slick. I kinda miss the use of the NFL font, though.

At the end of the day for me, though, it's a scorebug, and as long as it's not terribly offensive I don't think I have too strong of an opinion.

So much better. I'm glad they got rid of the giant EA circle logo and went with a better "branding" on the score bug.

The only thing I like to see is for them to remove the words EA Sports and replace it with a small EA logo(similar to CBS), and the 1st & 10 moved to on the field, similar to most stations.

There's a white dot next to the Pats logo for a reason on the CBS scoreboard.

Current:

My changes:

CBS:

I would like to get rid of the down and distance part of the score bug, but we need that when playing. I agree with others, it would be nice to see a wind indicator. That would help when passing and setting up for kicks to have that info. Game play information, not broadcast information.

Should also edit the 1st quarter info to be on left of the time remaining like on the CBS score bug instead of on the right like in Madden.

Another version I put together:

They have the ESPN license right? Why don't they just drop the EA sports logo altogether and put the ESPN one instead? And btw it would be cool if they had the possesion indicator too.

# 71 Behindshadows @ 05/15/12 12:07 AM

Hands down the better scoreboard...EA listens...OMG!!! I love it...

That's EXACTLY how they should change it. Would you mind putting it side-by-side with theirs.

Agree to disagree, I much prefer the EA posted one. Mostly because of the down/distance placement.

This looks very nice. Much less space intrusive and a better use of the space all round.

# 77 Bulls321974 @ 05/15/12 08:24 AM

New font is better now. But it's thin and rather tiny (1st & 10, 4th Quarter, time) and I think it should be bold (and a little larger) in order to get better readability.

100% agree with you!

The font is way to thin and like you said needs to be more big and bold!

Just make the font exactly like the CBS Scorebar and it would be perfect.

I just hope EA still has time to tweak it for us.

Indeed there is a white dot

I see no reason why EA could not or would not want to add something simular.

EA could make it a yellow dot so they are not completely copying CBS.

I just would love to see how it looks with these small changes.

Thanks
