Does the Madden NFL 13 Scoreboard Banner Need an Adjustment?

[Big FN Deal]

I went on Youtube and looked at the actual CBS banner, so now I see what people are saying. The EA logo is too big, it needs to fit into the bar and probably read "NFLphpNOLaRQPM.jpgEA" (smaller logo the size of the CBS "eye" in that banner though) Then have the down and distance scroll into that spot, like CBS does it, so the banner is not so long.

For comparison's sake (in terms of implementation, not direct game-vs-game), both 2K (NBA and MLB) and The Show utilize their logos/game title in their scorebars and people rarely seem to mention it as an issue. The Show in particular is branded all over the place; it's just implemented in a better way than as shown in this Madden 13 screen.

The EA logo is too big, so I would agree with this thought:

And this is actually a fantastic idea:

It kind of looks it would belong in a Wii version of Madden. Not sure if its the font, the colors, or what but it just doesnt seem to fit.

In 2k on PC at least we mod and completely remove it, because it's annoying...

console players don't complain, because they have to deal with it..same with the show...

But one thing that makes the EA one so annoying, isn't just because it's huge and the biggest thing in the scoreboard, but also because they even put big highlighted lights around it to point it out, 3 on top and 3 on bottom....

At least it isn't as ugly as the Madden 12 one. Personally, I prefer a small scorebord in the corner like the NBA on TNT has. Glad steve pointed this out, it always seems like I'm the only person in the world who cares what the scoreboard looks like. Also, every year I've been crossing my fingers for another game to do what NCAA basketball 10 did with multiple, real broadcast packages but no one has yet.

Agreed. It was the first thing I noticed in the gameplay trailer/webcast. Kinda difficult to read also.

i agree the EA logo part needs to be smaller to bad they couldn't add the ticker for other games like some have said up in corner of other games going on.

like someone mentioned..they need to give us an option to toggle it from top or bottom ..they do not need a banner at top for scores and a ticker at the bottom..the ticker should alternate with the main scoreboard banner at the bottom ..this would free up a bit of viewing screen as well. I remember a few years back i noticed this and it really stuck out like a sore thumb but i eventually got use to it..i just rather see it at the bottom rotating once in a while with the ticker.
