I disagree. It looks much cleaner now.

But well, can't argue about taste I guess

Would it be possible to add our own custom bordering?
Imo this is way better for people who use pics of historical real players. I haven't able to use pics on the field because they didn't fit in that circle very well. This new way is great. Dang. I can't help it. I always looked forward to the release but this time I'm getting really excited about it.

I would be nice if we could insert the picture of our own selected announcer.

Same here. I don't miss the circle pictures but I think this would help the look a lot too. It just seems like wasted space.

Agreed, the look of this entire screen is cleaner, and I love it.

I like it also. When I listen to games on the radio the announcer always provides that information at the start of the game. It's one of those little rituals that lets the listener know that the game is just about under way.

I also like the rectangular player pictures.

This is great, as a guy that plays out every ML game on my team, I really like being able to customize the screen to fit my tastes.

The only thing I did not like about the widgets is it never seemed to look like the windows and field screen belonged together, but it looks like everything belongs now

Looks great. Glad you've replaced the circles and have more of the jersey showing. Nice touch. Now if only you could place the player number next to the player name on the field view.

I know really!! How about just putting the BNN logo there? That's a bit more classy and much less cartoonish.

Perhpas it's not hardcoded and can be replaced by the gamer.

Obvious question then*, would it be possible to make such a view an option?

*Ok, it's probably only an obvious question to pedantic people like me.

Yes, please. Markus, you may love the dude, but some of us hate him. An option, perhaps? Two different widgets to choose from?

From my experience, everything in the "in-game" screen has always been hardcoded
