At one point they were lauded for the redesign of their site. I remember it well, seeing how nicely thought out the UI was. Then they added videos and more ad space. Now they compound that with less visible information, more videos and more ad space.
I vote fail.
Oh yeah, why leave the soccer portion of the site in the old nav and structure while the rest of the site has a new look? Maybe someone hates soccer over there. Hell, the NHL got a new look. wtf.
- Actually soccer got a pretty prominent position in the list compared to where they were before.flavorful
- Before the last redesign, I remember you having to go to ALL SPORTS to even see it.flavorful
- The last one had it as basically the last sport before Boxing...flavorful
- ESPN is working on a bid for the EPL Distribution in the U.S. and other parts of the globe when Setenta's Contract is up I believe.flavorful

I like it. It's not THAT drastic, but that may be a good thing.
The bad thing, the writing. And predicting the Yankees to win the World Series when all they really did was replace their losses.

I prefer http://www.sportsline.com/ any day. Not that it's beautiful, but when I want sports stats and stories I could give a fuck less about F150s driving across the screen or the Matrix 3.0 in the background.

1 word: fail

the BA's and IA's had too much to do with this. You can tell the designers were handed a set of wireframes and told to "skin them". No room for any designer input. You can tell the creatives had very little to say until the last few weeks of the project.

bleh.

I generally feel like the more different content elements there are to incorporate, the more paramount a solid and accurately executed compositional grid structure is.
This new site, unfortunately, is all over the place.

I am not responding well to the gradient on the background graphic. Seems dirty and fights for the focus of the page.
