I think the text feels more natural. i would also like to see it scroll in reverse so i can keep an eye on the diamond, outs and bases as I lose that once I have to scroll to the third inning currently. I would also like a speed adjustment which it sounds like you have plans for. All in all great first go at it... i like it a lot better than the 1980s bit animation other sites use!

I just think it would feel more like watching the game happen, where as the current format just feels like you're revealing the summary bit by bit. If that makes sense.

I wish baseball was in season, so I could see how live games are played out on Yahoo or ESPN. I think I will work towards something of that format. Thanks for the input, Steve

If you have “Hide Score” selected, then for new games it will go directly the game summary (with the box score hidden) – see below. And you have the option to add the box score with the Display Now link. For the other two Hide Score settings, the box score does appear before the game summary. Steve ---- Oceanview City - San Francisco Date: August 27th, 2011 Game: League [#759969] Ballpark: San Francisco Stadium Status: Complete, final score hidden (Display Now) Starting Pitchers Oceanview City: T.

Mig2012 Joined: 09/26/2012 Posts: 547 Inactive	Yes, that is correct. Thing is, after you hit the the display score, the box score doesn't appear where it used to be. Instead we get this: Team / Inning F Orlando Panthers 2 Norshire City Raiders 3 Before it used to be something like this: Team / Inning 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 F Orlando Panthers 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 2 2 Norshire City Raiders 0 0 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 The Innings are missing now.

You’re not saying the whole box score is gone, you’re just saying that within the box score, the scoring by inning summary at the top is missing and only the final score is reported (with a bunch of white space where the inning scores used to be). I’ll look into what happened there. Thanks for your patience, Steve
