TSN: TSN new website look

[Durkin67]

Looks very much like an online version of a newspaper. Nothing engaging about it.

 

[Shanty]

The content is the same?

Where are the podcasts?

Okay. First admission... No podcasts.

Second admission. Where the hell is the search button?

 

[colchar]

This poll needs a "who gives a rat's ass" option.

 

[Run705]

Looks better, but still outdated in terms of modern looking websites.

 

[Kubus]

it became more mobile friendly. I like the streamline personally. It will take a bit to get used to, but the old site had way too much going on.

And at the end of the day it's about the content.

 

[inthe6ix]

Glad I'm not alone - it's very bland.

Those quick one line headlines on the homepage are sorely missed.

 

[musdy]

It's pretty terrible.

 

[The Podium]

I hated the old one, confusing, cluttered and disorganized. This is much much better IMO

 

[Daisy Jane]

yeah i can't find the podcast section anymore.

 

[Shanty]

Okay... I concede my previous point. It LOOKS fine. But they've missed a pretty important point.

Function over form.

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

its ****ing awful. i hate that i have to scroll down to view all the major headlines. before, it was all visible in one glance. i didn't have to scroll and the videos were visible on the same glance as well.

now i have to ****in navigate in order to find something that i want. why fix something that works tsn? ****in ninnies.

need to find a new site now. ****.

 

[TheLeafsBro]

I like how everything isn't just crammed into 1 page. Takes some time to get used to but it's definitely growing on me. Just gotta learn to find everything.

 

[Loosie]

It seems designed for mobile devices then browsing on a laptop. Not sure about havign to scroll down for all the stories.

Scorebox is cleaner though.

Not too sure right now, but I may grow to love it. Now if only they can work on Tablet support for the TSN Go app. SN Now came with it right away so I can stream all the SN channels I'm subscribed to on my tablet,,,but TSN Go still doesn't work.

 

[Marshy]

Anyone still remember this one? 1996 ...good times!

 

[Super Mega]

yeah i can't find the podcast section anymore.

past 2 days of Leafs Lunch havnt been on itunes either.... today I am listening to it live for the first time in awhile

 

[Ari91]

For an official site, I'm not sure why they went with a layout that's very similar to online blogs.

I prefer not having to endlessly scroll through to find top stories. Some elements are better, some I don't care for but I'm pretty sure I'll survive.

 

[Lauro]

Hate it. Looks like a cheap amateur site now without much content.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

It's not great, but it's not as bad as their mobile app "update" was about a year and a half ago.

Just bad ideas all around going on at TSN. They're going downhill fast.

which sucks. what i liked if i missed an interview was clicking on any link and catching up, and on the website they were all archived.

i'm okay with change -- but not when change means it's harder to find things.

It's not great, but it's not as bad as their mobile app "update" was about a year and a half ago.

i agree. lost hockey rights, lost all about caring.

i totally agree.

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

nev mind.

 

[TheCLAM]

It looks like tsn.tumblr.com now.. Just awful

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

here's the old site. its not getting updated but it was such a great layout.

http://www2.tsn.ca/

Yeah, it worked.

Maybe I'm just an old dinosaur and I don't understand the "new ways" people are using web sites?

I still can't understand why some websites haven't figured out how to use a 16:9 layout, as I'm assuming most people who are logging into a desktop version of a website are probably doing so on a widescreen monitor or TV.

Then you have an app version of TSN for your phone/tablet etc. and that app is horrible, used to be good but they felt the need to ruin it.

Seems they felt the need to now ruin the desktop version as well.

Oh well, I've already gotten used to using theScore app on my phone and now I'll have to find a better sports website for my desktop use, any suggestions other than Sportsnet?

Things I like:
1. They added more stats to the players profile
2. Having the game scores all across the top

Things I don't like:
1. The scrolling to see the major news stories
2. Videos automatically playing when I view the news stories
3. No drop down menu when trying to find a team
4. Having to scroll a ton to find the team I want on team page
5. Not all players listed when I view the teams players
6. Having to go to additional player pages to look at their injury/trade history
7. Having to scroll over to view new additional stats
8. May just be me but it's taking a lot longer to load pages now


Will probably be more things I like and don't like as I use the site more but so far I'm not impressed.

Awesome. Looks like a Sega Genisis game.
