Disagree. Dreamhack was impossible for me to watch so I can't compare, but:
- sound is satisfactory
- casters are as good as any pair are starting off, and I like Gretorp, he is plain good
- don't really care about graphics quality, I barely notice such things, I guess for an observer cast you may as well but really it's not important
- the fact it's cast from replays means it's not going to crash because of battlenet
- I really liked the 3d overview of the maps at the start
- the quality of the games so far has been fine
- the profiling of the players was pretty good and I'm sure will get even better as they progress
Probably the one critical ob I personally agree with is there has been a bit of a disproportionate focus on Grubby and his activity and I don't really get to see so much what moon is doing.
But in all I think it's an excellent start for the NASL. Good job boys!

-Mic quality
-Give the casters a break I know they will get better as the league goes
-Music
-Missing key points in the game
I'm from Mexico and I had NO LAG whatsoever at 1080p (10mbs connection)

Wow so much hate on Gretorp. I could watch his stream and listen to him for hours.

This is false.
The games are casted live over the internet and recorded to video. The video is then broadcast after post production.
Remove it from the list please before more misinformation spreads

Just as the title says, i decided to make a thread about things you would do to improve the NASL, after reading the chat for a while i've noticed these few points:
1.- No ingame music. The music gives a nice atmosphere while watching the matches.
2.- No 3D portraits
3.- No score display
4.- Better microphone quality for the casters
5.- More hype! (maybe music while they're talking)
6.- Avoid showing the lobby screen.
7.- Instead of doing player profiles in one big batch at the start, put them inbetween sets
8.- Justin.tv logo is over the stats tabs (when stream is not in fullscreen)
9.- -The fact it's cast from replays means we don't get to see or feel any emotional connection with the players.
I know the stream isn't perfect for everybody but that isn't what this thread should be about.
Thanks.
Pd. this is not a complain thread, i (and i think we all) would like so see the NASL as one of the best tournaments in america or even the world.
I agree with changing 1, 4, 6, 7. Especially 7, I know know they want to hype all the players, but it's a bit overwhelming in the beginning to have the first hour dedicated to it.
I think they're doing fine though, these things would help but it's not going to prevent me from watching.

There's two commercials between every game, and they are awkwardly placed WHILE the commentators are talking about the previous game.
That's no good.
|
agree on the volume of gretorp. when he gets "excited" during the final battles, my ears nearly bleed. maybe they could devise some sort of adjustment for this?

i think if i read this again im gonna start slamming my face into my keyboard as a response
its been a great show so far considering its their first live run, cutting to the lobby screen on starcraft is probably just a production mistake they can easily fix but i would love to have less of an intense pregame show and more time between matches.
its great hearing about all the story lines but alot of it will be forgotten by the time the last 2/3 matches roll around. unless they are gonna repeat themselves throughout the broadcast, but either way so much time devouted to covering every match at the start seems like a waste
|
-Please look at the production tab more. They miss nydys and other critical things
|
I miss the 3d graphics and production value of the gsl
|
A few things I think could be improved:
1) Audio. There needs to be some background music (ingame music would be fine) playing between and during matches. It adds atmosphere and can drown out background noise picked up by the mics. Considering there is no live audience I think a little music would go along way to add to the atmosphere.
2) Visual. There is a slight stutter in the gameplay, as if the fps is low. It's nothing huge, just a slight skip. Pretty sure it's not lag/latency.
Overall I think it's a good broadcast, I like the casters and the quality is high. Just a few little kinks to iron out.
|
Deff. better sound quality it just sounds weird to me and the casters voices fluctuate. MUST FIX IMO
|
Where do people get the idea its casted from replays? There is no replay bar. The show is recorded the day before, making the broadcast a replay.
|
I am pretty sure they are going to be some commentator switching over the time period of NASL. I mean people complain about any caster (Ive read people complain about Day9, Artosis, Tasteless, so any caster complaints really is ridiculous, unless they are legitely bad.) you won't have to deal with them all the time.

*6.- Avoid showing the lobby screen.
9.- -The fact it's cast from replays means we don't get to see or feel any emotional connection with the players.*
maybe u use ur brain or read the faq before u post bullshit
User was warned for this post
|
Lots of nitpicking here sheesh, I think overall they are doing great.
|
It sounds more like a Husky/youtube cast instead of something like the GSL. I think the inherent nature of the league is going to make the creation of good atmosphere/hype difficult. Also... Gretorp? ........
|
The 'ESPN' like casters studio is actually very dull, and could use some backround distractions specifically during the preshow. It just looks like its broadcasted from a dark metal dungeon.
Distractions like some LCD flat screens with some logos or cycling clips, pirate bird on Gretorp's shoulder, flashy lights, or hell even some sponsors.

I'm pretty sure they cast the games as they are played, and not from replays. They just don't air it live, everything you're watching right now is recorded.
BUT, I could be wrong.
To op
- Better microphones would be nice, I hate having to turn down the volume halfway through the game because it's so loud and have to turn it up the other half of the game because it's too quiet.
-Music is needed
-Higher graphics would be nice
-They need to get an observer,

Showing lobby is good. It's to remind that games are casted live and showing piece of chat reminds that players are right there.
Showing profile and talking of upcoming games and players before games is good too, because if I want to see them, i tune in half hour before start, but may be I don't want to waste my time if I'm not interested in them at that day for example, I tune at games only.
