Imagine this with a properly built OA

I'm just noticing now there's no indication who is the winner of the games.

That's pretty awful, guys. The design is flawed. Stuff like this should be easy to decipher immediately. I shouldn't have to look and figure out who was playing who and who won.

Right now it's only six teams on the left so it's easy to figure out. Imagine if it was a night with twelve games.

Actually even with six teams I struggled a little bit. I didn't even look at first, then there was a comment in this thread about confusion with the green and the white. I went back and looked and even knowing which teams played and won on opening night, my eyes still wanted to match up the wrong teams.

It's really not as difficult as you're making it sound. Two teams playing are colored in the same font color. In the current day's games in the second column it's fairly easy to determine who plays who at a glance with more than three games on tap. If you see two team names that are the same color, they're playing each other. That's why it alternates yellow, green, yellow, green. It's not brain surgery.

Except I'm color blind and didn't even notice one set was yellow and the other green.

Damn, color blind folk getting the shaft again!

The fact that many people were initially confused and you even have to type this out means the design is fail.

Good designs are self explanatory and intuitive. They need no deciphering.

Wait a min. This is for the real NBA info? I thought this feature was for "MyGM" mode when playing you're game. Meh, not interested. I don't want to see "real" live scores and videos. That's why I have ESPN/NBA.com for. What a waste of code and time.

I kinda agree. I believe it's a very nice touch, but I would have much rather seen something like NFL 2K5 where you seen highlight around the league of stuff happening in your game. It would have been cool just for quick games and NBA today games. But in MyGM Mode, it should be the video game highlights.

Maybe this a step in that direction though. And it's a pretty cool idea. Just hope we see actual video game highlights and stuff soon.
