Digital ads on boards replacing traditional ads

[Howboutthempanthers]

Watching the Boston/Arizona game. It's very distracting how the players look sometimes when crossing in front of some of these ads while the play is going on. Looks totally amateurish.

 

[Martin Skoula]

Could we get rid of the players? Half the time I'm just getting really into enjoying a particularly good ad when some idiot player will skate by it and distract me. It's borderline unwatchable, I'd rather just watch a highlight reel of the top ads of the night the next morning.

 

[Koivu11]

The digital ads keep glitching out and flickering on SN tonight.

What a disaster.

Game ruining! Flying pucks. Flying logos. Flying tires. During play.

 

[ZDH]

These ad switches make me sick. Like literally I'm not even kidding I have to look away or I get that "reading while in a car" feeling. It's totally killed the game.

 

[Isles Shawn]

All of you complaining but still watching. No reason for the NHL to change.

 

[Bigtrout]

I've always dreamed of watching even more ads during hockey but it's so buggy I can't even enjoy them.

Also I can't wait till teams and players name are replaced by companies, seems about time.

 

[TooManyHumans]

I actually think I've adjusted to them already.

That's where you're wrong. I'm not buying center ice this year, paying for migranes seems -EV.

[mcleex]

I am a big whiner when it comes to change and I don't even mind them

 

[BLNY]

They're terrible. What's worse, the upper bowl ads are reflecting off the ice and the cameras can't handle it. The brightness/colour shift when going from dark to light ads is beyond distracting.

 

[Bread and Circuses]

Not a fan.

 

[smytty]

Can someone turn down the f-ing brightness om the boards? Make them off white?

 

[BenchBrawl]

Get rid of this shit immediately

 

[GrumpyKoala]

The technology cant even handle a player open the bench door, its a mess

Same. I wish it didn’t affect me so much. It’s not a matter of ignoring them. I’m not wired that way.

I was watching the Habs-Caps game tonight and those idiotic CGI ads kept glitching, partially erasing players from the screen and whatnot. Thankfully, they removed them at some point before the end of the first period and they never came back.

Not a very good look when the technology you use is so shitty and unstable TV networks just say **** it and ditch the whole thing midgame.

Am I going crazy or are these digital ads adding a sound delay to certain games? I swear the bruins game sound was off by like 3 milliseconds

It's just Busch league. Typical NHL little brother stuff compared to NBA and NFL.

We have had it here in Finland for years. It's horrible. You could somehow stand it when the game was still good but now...

Look at this Tampere Koff. NIce logo but ruined with ads

 

[MMANumminen]

The NFL is 3 hours of commercials and guys talking about what someone said yesterday with 11 minutes of actual play time.

Anyways this blows, you give these guys and inch and they take the whole roll. They would put advertisements in your dreams if they could. Late stage capitalism sucks.

I have tried to watch superbowl at least 5 times. I really tried to like it but I had to quit after while. What a waste of time

 

[Martin Skoula]

How much do they cost anyway? I'd chip in for an ad that's just the clip of Colaiacovo faceplanting the camera on loop

 

[Craig Button]

I don't mind.
They glitch up and give you white board for a few minutes

 

[AcerComputer]

I'll take the jersey ads/digital ads anytime over the ad jungle that this place has become.

It's getting real close to the point of unusable.
