the supply bars are a little larger than optimal imo. I also find they are a little large but other than that, this is really amazing by blizzard. | ||

And yeah they take up a lot of space, but I think they're designed to be brought up briefly to show info to spectators then taken down. Hence why good animations for turning them on/off is a good thing | ||

I do remember Dustin Browder saying that these new tools are mainly aimed at broadcasters, and that the large size and "flashiness" of the new overlays are mainly to compensate for poor stream and video quality that some casters are forced to work with. I also remember a post a while back on TL suggesting the advantages of removing the bottom bar, and it's cool to see Blizzard do that. The old tools were great for casters, but not broadcasters, and it is great to see Blizzard adding these nice new features. I think they should tweak the UI with additional settings to display the minimap and possibly unit health/kills when the bottom bar is removed. This is already a great addition, but added customization would make the UI simply perfect. | ||

That's deliberate. The main purpose of the big UI is to be clearly visible in low-res streams and youtube videos. They are supposed to be shown only temporary. I remember reading this in several Dustin Browder interviews. Edit: I was beaten to it, sorry! | ||

Awww, it's not nice to call people idiots .It's far easier for Blizzard to implement UI changes than to implement something as complex as replay sharing, since it appears that there are deeper issues preventing them from implementing the latter. The new UI is mainly used for low-quality Youtube vids and streams where it is hard to display small numbers effectively. It's big and flashy, but at least it's very clear (though perhaps to a fault). Luckily, it seems that all these additions are optional and can be toggled off. The tug of war option is a good way of flashing the current food/resource situation very clearly, which is good for casual spectators. | ||

this is like the most nit-picky thing ever, but i think it'd be really cool if it showed the player's league somewhere in the title bar. or if it was a masters / grandmasters match have the icon in the center represent that somehow. would add a little bit of 'umph' to the game... | ||

Luckily, Blizzard fixed these issues in later patches until we have the solid replay system that we have now. | ||

The overlays look really neat and it would be great for casters if they wouldn´t need to set the player names and colors all the time and just have to enter the score but if you don´t have scores in BOx it kinda isn´t finished. 2 Textfields shouldn´t be so hard to add tough. | ||

1) Hiding the UI is a great feature (by hitting ALT+W) but the minimap is way too essential to hide. 2) The tug-of-war overlay dominates the screen space when it is active. I completely agree with both of these issues and propose the Blizzard change the way the hide overlay looks. Take a look at my mock-up. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/7zijfl.jpg) Let me know what you think!

I really think they should add an `upgrades' tab somewhere in the interface. It's silly for the casters to have to find a unit and click it to find out this very essential piece of information. If anyone on US agrees, it would be really cool to mention that in the suggestion threads. | ||

It might be nice to have a way to see how many kills/how much energy key units have without having to bring up the whole UI panel. Then I think the above would be pretty much perfect for watching games. | ||

Maybe during the really slow parts of the game to add a little flair. | ||

Although I dont see tug of war being used in a professional cast, not really needed to what we already have. Name plates however, excellent addition. | ||

Tug of war isn't supposed to be there as a piece of constant information, it's there as a large fast way to visualise an aspect of the game really for a short time, or that's how it should be used. | ||

The APM tab at the start of the game would always be interesting to see, or going back into a game after watching it live, bringing up the apm thing during a battle. <3 | ||

You know, when SC2 Beta was released we were all complaining about how Crappy it was, and how we were so unhappy with it, but now I'm really proud of Blizzard that they've kept with it and they keep on improving the game, like adding sweet options like this! | ||

These overlays look very professional and I think are a great idea. I however think there are two problems that have been discussed in this thread. 1) Hiding the UI is a great feature (by hitting ALT+W) but the minimap is way too essential to hide. 2) The tug-of-war overlay dominates the screen space when it is active. I completely agree with both of these issues and propose the Blizzard change the way the hide overlay looks. Take a look at my mock-up. Let me know what you think! If you like it, please go to the Blizzard forums and comment/up-vote this thread: Blizzard Forums: [Suggestion/Feedback] Change replay overlay this is way better if the tug of war was ment to be ON all the time, wich in my opinion, it's not intended. My guess is this is more like the overlays on football or any convencional sports, like, how many faults did each team made, or things like that. I'm loving the "workers killed" count. I don't have to guess anymore on vods when a hellion drops occurr XD And the hide UI funcionality could be used to show big fights and that kind of stuff. | ||

Ya I was thinking the same thing. People use the overlays often to show the score, so without that they will still need to be used. Maybe there is already a way to do that though. | ||

When in spec mode (with disabled UI [ctrl+w]), you can no longer follow units using Ctrl+Shift+F I posted about it on the PTR Forums: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/2140448174 | ||

And also, I really love the new food counter at the top right. Way easier than just hoping that the caster will click on one of the other player's units haha | ||

tho MINIMAP should always be visible, even when you disable the bottom UI. | ||

- Clan support - tournament system (integrate challonge maybe?) - VOD library (sc2casts.com) - Replay library - direct feeds from leagues (GSL, ESL, MLG, etc.) Looks like the team behind this update is much more competent than the one responsible with the ladder maps. GJ to those guys. | ||

They're busy and lasy to improve something new Really? Blizzard just went pretty far out of the way to do a major, and exceedingly sexy UI overhaul, purely for spectator purposes only. And yet you say they won't modify it further because they are lazy? Really? I for one think this looks amazing, and think it's a pretty big step in the right direction. | ||

This game will get more and more features as we go. Just gotta be patient. Can't wait to try this out in reviewing my replays as well. | ||

 But it is cool to see Blizzard upgrading things like this to make the spectator sport aspect of SC2 more attractive. | ||

What would the community think about it removing the buttons and the building/unit info panel but leaving the minimap? | ||

I just hope they include an option of an onscreen ghost mouse / keyboard when in vision mode for a player like I suggested just after the retail release, but I can only dream. You can find the original post here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=145968 But it is good progress in the right direction! Keep it us blizz. | ||

This and perhaps some more statistical information about your games like Win ratio against each race and map statistics. Those Observer features are very nice I am wondering how often they will get used in the pro leagues. | ||

While this is undoubtedly cool, I really wish they'd spend the effort on getting out multi-person replays, as I think it would behoove a lot of tournaments more, as there are a lot of tourneys who don't stream live (online tournaments, TSL, etc), and if you use more than one commentator, it's a nightmare to get everyone synced, and keep them synced without this system. Besides the fact of course the social aspect of watching replays together. | ||
