What I would like is more of is analysis of the specific matchup. Who player x has played in vP before and how much success he has had, also match history between the specific players is good to know. What I would like to see less of is trying to make it seem like "anyone could win" in every match. That might fool some initially thereby gaining a few viewers in the short run. In the long run people will see through it though, and stop watching the prematch hype as "they always say same thing". The new graphic background is a big improvement. You also seem to sit higher which is good. Remove the counter to enable viewers to catch your body language. | ||

My other issue at the moment is that the 3-minute pauses from the live broadcast, as well as dead air from the beginning of the cast, are left in the VODs. Since JTV lags so badly for me if I don't buffer about half the video before I start, I find it very obnoxious that I have to buffer several minutes of contentless video that I'll just skip over anyhow. Since a VOD can be paused, there's no reason to leave such a large buffer between games, and there's no reason at all to have a buffer prior to the broadcast beginning. Finally, I would really appreciate it if it would be possible to remove the link to JustinTV from the embedded video. I repeatedly have the following experience: I load the video, wait five minutes for it to buffer, then go to full screen and start watching. At some point I want to pause, but misclick and end up redirected to JustinTV and with my buffer lost. Either moving the link into a text or button near the video, or making the link open in a new tab (so that my buffer isn't lost) would solve the problem. I'm enjoying the games more and more with each week. Keep up the good work, guys! | ||

I watch the games for entertainment first, inspiration and analysis second and knowing the outcome beforehand kills it for me. I dont know if its a spoiler, but if it is please use a spoiler tag or use a older example. still need to see it tonight . Great job everybody in the NASL | ||

It always makes me feel like the caster's are trying to call the outcome of the game as early as possible to make themselves appear more knowledgable about the game, which feels immature and also looks very silly in the occasional cases where their prediction is wrong. I hate nothing more than some caster trying to put tension in a game that is all but over, it's like a caster trying to missread the game on purpose to create some excitement that just isn't there. If there is 5:0 in Football or whatever other Sport the commentator will also not talk about the enormous offensive capabilities of the "0" team trying to make it more exciting than it is... Why doesn't he do it? Because he would look retarded. | ||

Stop spoiling things, I'd say 2 weeks is sufficient time for people to watch an event. But spoiling that + Show Spoiler + IdrA won IPL And yes, hinting towards spoilers is lame too. I could imagine incontrol saying something along the lines of "well I don't wanna spoil the results for IPL but lemme tell ya, EG did VERY well!" | ||

Seriously... Do you cry when someone has told you who won the superbowl/wimbledon/the olympics or whatever a day after it's over? | ||

My issue is with calling a game when one side merely has a large advantage. There have been a few cases already in which the commentators called the game for one side, only to have the other player stage a comeback. In such a situation, it was obviously a mistake to announce that the game was over. | ||

In such a situation, it was obviously a mistake to announce that the game was over. Which also happens in Football/Soccer and tons of other sports sometimes (someone going easy 2-0 in Sets in Tennis but winninge 2-3 in the end). But a good commentator will probably still call it "game" and be wrong about it, this makes "comebacks" even more exciting and enhances the viewer experience.. | ||

I understand that these issues take time to resolve, but would just like to underline how important an problem this is. As much as I want to support you guys, not being able to use the thing I pay for is a little irksome. | ||
