Herbs... possibly you're forgetting, as I had, that you can change the color scheme for the site. I'm on ESPN Beta 1.3 now... and it's slick looking. Like it very much.

Maybe go for a Viva Pinata style Steve, lol.

Thats true. I had forgot....I changed from OS pro to Koniro and this is kind of a nice little change of pace.

Also, I would like to see the main page a little less cluttered. I think the "new at operation sports" box is all you really need. Because it seems like posting all the links there and then putting all of them below is a little redundant .

Perhaps you could split up the reviews a little differently so you can access the review or preview you want more efficiently, ala IGN.

Re: New Operation Sports Redesign Coming, Need Your Help

I'd like to see more emphasis on details in the reviews. There are rarely any details given on dynasties in the sports games. You all rarely mention if all-time records are available or another example is telling what some of the roles in Madden '07 are and how to achieve them.

There's more to some games than gameplay itself. I'd like more information on some of the little things that make a good game great.

Thanks.

Re: New Operation Sports Redesign Coming, Need Your Help

I have 9 years in the Interactive industry and I'm employed full time as a Senior Designer for one of the top 25 Interactive firms in the country. I was curious if OS was going to turn into a full blown sports gaming site and the forums become a "part" of the site. It would be nice to see it end up like an IGN or a 1up.com but be about sports games (sure we could have a little section about the other games that us sports nuts play though). I have a few questions though from a pure professional standpoint:

- Are you guys going to "re-brand" yourselves? You know, new identity (new logo, OS color scheme, etc)
- Are you going to redesign the site in a way that you can get rid of the leaderboard banner at the top? (that 728x90 pixel area) and maybe have two 300x250 spots on the right hand side. I understand you want to keep media placement spots so certiain companys can include your site in thier media plans (more revenue for OS).
- Are you guys going to maybe use some flash elements? Maybe have a hero area (its an advertising term) up in the main area on the homepage (a trend you see with IGN, Gamespot, 1up ect (Im talking about the area where the main articles are featured but they use flash to flip through each one or let the user do it).

if you guys are rearchitecting the site id love to see a site map with a breakdown of what sections you guys are going to have (i dont work for you guys though so you probably wouldnt feel safe witih me looking at it).

Dam part of me is itching to hop off my PC and get on my Mac, crack open photoshop and design comps.

Re: New Operation Sports Redesign Coming, Need Your Help

Video reviews that go into more depth than the written ones would be nice.

Video reviews are here to stay so OS should be heading in that direction.

Also I'd like to see on release days of the big sport games not just a mod posting answers to questions but I'd like to see a 12-24 hour video feed of true sports gamers like us playing the game and taking questions off live posts.

Gamespot did something like this when madden came out this year, but you could tell they were not die hard sports fans. Still cool none the less.

Re: New Operation Sports Redesign Coming, Need Your Help

I am old, cranky and not all that smart. I don't like change. It confuses and baffles me and I have to spend time and energy learning the new scheme (I am also lazy). I don't want to see any changes.
