The updated FOX NFL scorebug features team logos and player stats but has sparked controversy among fans, with opinions ranging from praise to disdain for its design and placement. (X)

“No why the hell is it at the bottom of the screen where the majority of the action takes place???” a fan wrote.
“Meh. As long as it’s easy to read it’s all good. I remember when the @NHL used the red puck with the trail and you could see it through the boards. That was a**,” a user shared.
“WTF is this? This looks like the 1970s all over again. Are they trying to go with the retro broadcast look? That looks absolutely horrendous,” a fan opined.

“Down & distance are redundant and in the way. It’s on the field already FCOL.
Just stick the play clock under the quarter marker,” a fan expressed.
“It allows us to see more of the field, so yeah I think this is better,” a fan commented.
FOX is one of the five national broadcasts that streams all NFL preseason games. The Carolina Panthers will be facing the Pittsburgh Steelers in the next preseason showdown on Thursday (August 21).
