Maybe it is fixed now, but when MLB Network does live check-ins on games being broadcasted by Bally, the score isn't visible because the MLBN's ticker is blocking it.
That useless solid gray bar at the bottom also doesn't go entirely to the bottom; it stops one or two pixels from the bottom of the screen, so a teeny amount of whatever is behind the scorebug is visible. I was watching a game last week and would occasionally see a white line at the bottom. It was the ice.

The biggest complaint I see on HF about NESN is the ticker

I'd say Altitude has the best one but add a small shots window for each team. I'm use to SN but after looking at the others, it could definitely be smaller. NESN isn't bad if you add shots.( forget it. Forgot about the ticker). Yes, Bally's is the worst. Others are fair.
It's complicated
Bally Manufacturing - Wikipedia

Its shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “BALY.”

This reminds me of the absolute necessity to make the boards transparent so you can see what's going on. It should be an absolute no-go to not being able to follow the play on some parts of the ice.
Remove the guesswork for the (tv) audience.

If you're sending feedback to Altitude, tell them to colour code the team names properly.
(god knows where this picture is from but you get the point)
Altitude always used the home colours for each team, regardless of what colour of jersey the team is wearing. Colorado vs. Arizona games are a great laugh in particular.

They are all fine except Bally.
The scores update is so annoying. It was a cool stuff in the 90’s, but there’s a thing called internet nowadays where I can easily find out about scores, stats, standings, etc.

It's even worse than that. Some people want to watch a game later, because you can stream it at any time after the game has been played. Thanks for the scoring update mid-game from a playoff opponent..

The NESN ticker is terrible and the Bally scoreboard is even worse. The location ruins that experience. Not in hockey.
I watched a game on my CI the other day where the feed was from Bally Sports. I was annoyed all game long , they need to make some changes asap

Don't make me choose which one is worse.
It'd be like asking me which do I hate more... a punch in the face or a kick to the groin.
Can't believe the execs at NESN aren't embarrassed by their game presentation.

Take me to the Ballyyy!
That thing is hideous, looks like an phone app streched to tv screen. They even managed to make shootout graphs more confusing than they should be

Bally is trying to reinvent the wheel for something that literally nobody ever complained about, and made it worse.
What were they thinking?

90% of the time, the MSG bug doesn’t have that extra info bar (in this case, Chara’s shift time). It’s just the logo, teams, time and score. They’ll expand it when it’s not 5v5, when they’ve got that extra info, or sometimes for a mini ad.

I really have no problem with the NESN scoreboard, it tells me all I wanna know. I guess I wouldn't mind SOG but it's not a necessity.
The ticker is a f***ing abnomation though and it's insane that Bally has managed to come up with something worse. I mean, you really have to try to manage that. And someone said it's especially bad for hockey, which may be true, but it's also horrendous for baseball.

I think that I prefer all of the Canadian ones. The American ones (i.e. NBCSN, Fox, Altitude, NESN, MSG) are offset too far from the edges of the screen. It's as if they think that we're still using tube TVs and they need to account for large bezels and curvature.
I prefer the Sportsnet bug...has both team names and logos/colors, shot counters, it's nicely centered and thin enough to be up and out of the way, it only covers the fans or player benches and never the action on the ice, and it stands out enough from the busy background to make reading the info presented quick and easy.
And please...no annoying tickers showing spoilers.

one problem with bally is not showing the lineups and d-man pairings of both teams just after the puck is dropped in the first period..
other channels show this and fox (RIP) would show the lineups..
