Taking a poll - new vs. old Covers MLB Matchup page format

I'm taking a poll of users of the Covers MLB matchups page (which can be accessed by clicking on the "matchup" link on the MLB Scores and Matchups page). Going back to maybe a year ago, there was considerable change made to the format of this page. Ease of access to certain pieces of information was affected, and there were other changes as well. I'm sure that any of you who were around a little while know what I'm referring to. From what I've heard, there are many who are not in favor of the change (I've taken a similar poll in the NBA forum regarding changes to the Scores and Matchups page format for that sport. Feel free to view that thread, it's titled "Taking a poll - new vs. old Scores and Matchups Page format" - last post so far was around 7 pm EST June 19 -you can do a User Name search using my user name if you have trouble finding it).

Do you have a preference between the new MLB matchup format and the old?

Cast your vote ("old" or "new"), and chime in with your comments if you wish. Make your voices heard!

The old format was far and away better. Was just thinking this today, as I was researching a few games. The "trends" tab in the matchups pages are useless now, was very useful before with situational trends. Also the starting pitcher stats I recall had the last 10 games for pitchers before, which only lists the last 3 now. 

So far, 1 vote for the old format, 0 votes for the new!

Guys, you can just reply with a "New" or an "Old", or you can chime in with your comments if you like!

Bump

Old, no contest, in my opinion! 

OLD!

Old format was best

So far, it's 5 votes for the Old format, 0 votes for the new.

I know for certain that many years ago, the matchup pages weren't filled with so many errors and omissions, I mean there are games that are missing from a team or pitcher log, like they never happened.  And why does pitcher log show a starting pitcher making a relief appearance but 0.0 innings pitched because he didn't even enter the game , sheesh, everything in a high tech world is subject to be wrong because nobody cares and nobody wants to be accountable.

@ColinMac 

Where will you be getting your feed from for the scoring 'updates' as you call it ?

@Stew Baker

 Old was much better.  I like seeing the innings and who is scoring early and late, and big innings for over under. And I liked knowing Roto num for each game. Seems like vegasinsider made a change years ago pulling back from a view I liked. May have been for NFL.

Not even close. The old format was leaps and bounds better.

Old.  Better by far.

I really liked having the Last 10 ML-O/U stats on the main MLB matchup page.  Also, the font/boldness on starting pitchers is too small/weak with the new format, IMO.

Don't know what's going on . just starting today I had to hit the boxscore  button for each individual game just to see if it went to extra innings. tons more scrolling than before where everything was right in front of me . Ridiculous !

@Contrarian

 Take that back- I  do see that it says extra innings . Still like the old format .

I HATE THE NEW PAGE, IWANT THE OLD ONE BACK WHERE YOU CAN SEE ALL THE MLB GAMES ON THE PAGE NEXT TO EACH OTHER

WITH MATCH UP STATS TOO, YHIS IS TERRIBLE, IF I WANT TO LOOK AT THE GAMES , IWENT TO MY SPORTS BOOK TO SEE THEM

LINED UP LIKE THEY SHOULD BE, PUT THE OLD PAGE BACK PLEASE, !!!!

old....by far...

Old format is WAY better. The new format is just like every other page on every site. 

The old format gave way more information with MLB. It allowed me to focus in on a few series at a glance. This is what happens when Covers allows people that don't sports bet to design their page.

Anyone know of a site that shows more info at a glance? I won't be visiting Covers much in the future. I've been looking this morning for a replacement. 

@Johnny8

 Let is know if you find anything good please. This new format blows.. who the hell thought this was a good idea? Lol

@BigDickHertzer

 Who ever designed it does not sports bet. Covers had the best at a glance page. What's kinda insulting is they didn't test a beta version out or ask the community if they like A B or C type layout.

The page they present now I can get at any sport web site. We've lost Statfox and now Covers. 

@Stew Baker

 Old

@ColinMac

 We aren't using Covers for the scoreboard bro. We are using covers to handicap games. And you've removed all the basic information we use to do that on the main page. 

This new format blows ass. It seems like everyone here agrees that it does blow ass. Gotta consider other options for handicapping purposes if covers doesn't figure this out
