ESPN.COM new website format

[Tarik One]

Looks like a local newspaper website......

[fiddy]

its "optimized" for mobile devices....so yes it sucks, its ugly, its annoying and unpractical. Fuсk them.

[Thorpesaurous]

They have an article up about it, talking about the new features, the intention (mobile optimization is indeed a big part of it, along with the social network availability). The infinite scroll they talk about. They do provide some reasoning. They said in January of the nearly 100 million visitors they had to the site, something like 65% visited from a mobile device.

I was going to copy and paste some bits from the article in here, but alas, can't copy and paste. One touch to post it on pinterest, but no copy and paste.

I'm sure I'll get used to it enough that I'll bitch about the next design change.

Yahoo Sports is a lot better IMO.

[Bandito]

Yahoo news Digest is pretty good too. That's the news app I use besides MSN

Espn is a joke

[Meticode]

I personally like it. It's simple, clean, fast, and a lot more snappy.

shits wack on a phone too. **** a mobile site. I always view shit as desktop on my phone.

I might seriously stop going to espn. I've tried to go there and the amount of time it took me to check the boxscores pissed me off.

There's really no reason to go there if you think about it. It's just habit. They need to eat the D anyway.

first ever compliment posted on ish.........:eek:

The prior format you were able to see all of the headlines in one glance and just click. Now you are forced to scroll all over the place.

[TheSilentKiller]

i was really hoping it was just an april fool's prank :(

[9erempiree]

First it was their message boards closing for FB-style posting.

Now their website.

RIP ESPN.

I hate how bright white it is. Youtube did the same thing a few years ago. It is too bright, hurts my damn eyes to look at it.

[asd]

The site loads fast and the way all the content comes in is really smooth.

Its NBA section beats NBA.com by a mile!

Shit man, that's what they claim. It runs like shit on my iPad though.

Its pretty much terrible on all fronts IMO.

agree w/everything you said. I always use the desktop version of sites when I have the option. Mobile sites almost always blow ass. Getting to the boxscores on ESPN is now a chore and that was probably thing thing I used from them the most..
