Why? It works on video games. Why not on an actual football game. Can't blame the CFL trying something new. The NFL has it's Nickelodeon game and that is worse. If I want to see cartoons. I'll go to the Cartoon Network
Like watching bumper cars. The CFL viewer understands the game, we don’t need circles to point where the players are. As far as the game, the Lions lack of week to week consistency precludes a Grey Cup trip. Is it the players or coaching preparation that is the issue.
Circles and lines create too much viewing information, ie, the viewer has too much to process and too much distraction. Please save the graphics for replays to help isolate individual players and their routes.
Great game by the Argos. Now to those bitching about the game graphics. The CFL is trying something new. To increase viewership, new fans and grow it's brand. Everybody says the CFL is stale and unimaginative. The CFL tries something different and everybody is up in arms. I bet a lot of you people thought when the NFL had it's Nickelodeon game, it was so cool, targeting new fans and good for their game. There can't be a double standard. Let the CFL evolve into the 21st Century, alright
It reminds me of Fox, putting a blue dot and speed indicator on a hockey puck on screen during hockey games. They said it was for "fans who couldn't see the puck and understand hockey." It was terrible, and these circles will make the televised games completely unwatchable. On the replays, sure, during the live plays, nope.
@@backalleycqc4790Exactly my thinking. The interesting thing for me is that, as someone who’s watched hockey for decades, I rarely see the puck. But I know where the puck is based on the play. I think of Gretzky to Lemieux. Game 3. 1987 Canada Cup. The puck is on 66’s stick. Then you see the puck bulge the back of the net. It’s almost impossible to see its trajectory on a replay. But that’s not necessary. You just know.
@@davidbuswa9425 excuses, excuses, excuses. It's amazing how people bend over backwards to defend the hype. 37% in first quarter is nothing, but poor performance! -1 yards. Ask Hollins how the accuracy feels... he was forced to dive to catch the ball and now... he's injured! that was 100% Rourke accuracy fault. a few throws later Hatcher had to catch the ball with 2 fingers it was thrown so poorly. defend the false hype! 2-3... more losses than wins. more INT than TDs. this is not "gathering on film" this is lacking talent!
Yeah, not sure why you’d do the highlights with the data feed. If you like it that’s great, but not everyone does. Yet you are making the highlights for everyone.
Notice how Argos receivers were in position to catch the ball. Kelly was good but could have been better at times. Those 2nd down failed conversions were the RB got stuffed up the middle has become annoying to watch. Maybe kelly can start fake handoff then bootleg to left side of filed where it was wide open spaces .
Sad game for BC, Toronto was looking good. I agree those circles were annoying. At first, I thought it might help, but there were way too many, and it just got confusing. I guess they thought it would work. It was worth the try. Now, CFL, you have tried it, and it doesn't work, so please no more circles. Thanks 🇨🇦
I bet the NFL will try this and you will praise it in all it's glory. The CFL game is faster than the NFL version and isn't slowed down by endless commercials between plays. The CFL is trying something. Give it a chance
Q: How many BC Quarterbacks does it take to beat the Toronto Argos? A: Well... 3 couldn't do it, do they have a fourth? Can we end the Rourke hype now? Clearly the healthy scratch wasn't because he's too talented!
Ok, I watched this on tsn and didn't notice the circles. Is there a different feed with that, or did I somehow just not notice all that crap? I was pretty tired, but I have a hard time believing I missed all that pointlessness.
I circles are fine, but why not show the behind the Quarter-back view angle. You have 5 TSN channels, so you can designate one channel for the alternate broadcast
VA is better than Rourke though. Nathan Rourke vs Vernon Adams Jr. Accuracy = 64% (21st) vs 64.5% (20th) Interceptions = 7 (6th) vs 6 (10th) Interception % = 6.1% (2nd) vs 2.3% (15th) Efficiency = 77.7 (23rd) vs 103.9 (10th) TDs = 4 (15th) vs 14 (5th) Yards = 989 (12th) vs 2469 (6th) Average YDS = 8.7 (10th) vs 9.5 (6th) Vernon Adams Jr is better than Nathan Rourke in EVERY STAT! this is 100% facts from the league proving that Rourke is a Joke! BC would be better if VA was your QB! that's just a fact! The only time Rourke is even close to the top 3 in the league is in Interception %!!! He's the best at throwing interceptions! Rourke needs to be traded. He threw worse than VA did... 37% accuracy in the first quarter. 9 yards forward 10 yards back... that's a -1 yard first quarter. That's not VA's fault! in the second quarter Rourke played a bit better increasing the yards to 110 with 50% accuracy and a ball thrown so bad it forced Hollins to dive and injure himself for a few games. luckily Hatcher was able to catch the ball with 2 fingers otherwise the 110 yards would have been a lot less and the accuracy below 40%... but ya. trade the QB who was front runner for the MOP position before Rourke was acquired! great plan! By the way... neither are "#1" QBs... the #1 QB (of that game) was wearing white and Blue all game. and the real #1 wears black and gold. dominating the league even when his team is so bad. maybe you should trade Rourke AND VA for Bo Levi Mitchell!!
Still poor tackling by the DB. Look at that last play in the highlight. McFadden not going for the knees or ankles. High tackling never works and neither does a shoulder block. Clean up the tackling and we will see better outcomes in games. Maybe watch highlights of your former teammate Peters in Hamilton! Ffs
@@russell-di8js Yes, I did get it. They really do! Sliding around like that, lolz! In football the sidelines sometimes yell "sweep! sweep!" on a running play, lolz!
this was beautiful! anytime i watch BC lose is excellent! wtg Argos! Let’s hope this is the beginning of the end for the thug-Lions to NOT end up in the Grey Cup in their own arena…and btw, Rourke, Chad Kelly shut you up bigtime too!
Dear God, please get rid of all the in-play graphics. I get why you're doing it, but please - don't. It's fun for a video game, but distracting as hell when watching live human beings.
Can we not just watch a football game without all of the distractions on the field. The circles and arrows they put on the screens now are a pain. Same goes for hockey.
@davidbuswa9425 I don't care for sports games in general. And judging by the comments, most don't like it. So like the red blue puck, this will die out
Boo for the circle and lines! We dont need that for watching a football game. It reminds me of when the NHL put a light in the puck on television so that Americans could better see and follow the puck. Nobody liked it and it wasn't long before they removed it. I hope it will do the same for the CFL
Then we really need to know that the quarterback took him 3.22 seconds to throw the ball, then the next play took him 2.78 seconds. What difference does it make to know that? Who cares! This is too much information for nothing...
I'll agree with others, the names and circles on the players is very distracting. I think it's a case of the old question why does a dog lick it's private parts? Answer, because it can. Technicians shouldn't get in the way of the viewer.
The yellow circle and line on a replay are pretty good, actually. The other circles? no. Just no. The names randomly popping up over various heads is also bad. Zoom in and they get bigger? Lolz!
WTF? circles? Are we American sports fans being introduced to the NHL? we gonna bring back the swoosh so we can follow the puck? C.mon Dudes, we CFL fans are better then this, quit treating us like newbies!
That shrieking at the beginning is seriously irritating. Is that supposed to be singing? And, for pity's sake, lose those circles. Just like a glowing puck, it's insulting to the viewers. As if we can't see the different coloured uniforms on a green field. I'll watch my highlights from the team sites, not from this one.
Those circles are brutal
Why? It works on video games. Why not on an actual football game. Can't blame the CFL trying something new. The NFL has it's Nickelodeon game and that is worse. If I want to see cartoons. I'll go to the Cartoon Network
Yeah, really annoying.
What is with the circles? Were the jerseys not enough to distinguish a difference in the teams?
Seriously, man...the line of scrimmage and 10-yard marker was a good addition...but WTF with the circles??? I'm not trying to play Madden.
Dude. It's not about the circles. There is also statistical data on the play
@@davidbuswa9425 agreed. I don't see this stuff on their subsequent recaps, so I'm hoping they took the hint from somewhere.
@@davidbuswa9425 didn't notice the stats; too mesmerized...circles...

Reminds me of when Fox Sports tried to highlight the puck during hockey games.
If the discs and lines are meant to make it impossible to tell what's going on, they do a fantastic job!
guilty of al least three trips
Well said. Don't know why the producers are putting graphics on top of everything, but it sucks!
They're a HUGE distraction. Makes it look like an old video game :x
@@5Cats Makes it look like some producers are bored... Nothing like screwing around with a good product and making it worse!
Please vote NO to the circles!! 😡
"May the circle be unbroken. By and by, Lord. By and by....."
Please remove those circles under the players, we are football fans, we know the game, we don’t need that at all.
Circles and lines create too much viewing information, ie, the viewer has too much to process and too much distraction. Please save the graphics for replays to help isolate individual players and their routes.
I am impartial to the circles, however this seems like the best solution, most everyone else is just complaining 😂
Dude, you don't get it. TSN is trying to get viewers to watch games on TSN+ that have those graphics
Do we really need all these circles under every player?
Noticed it in the nfl game last night also. It’s like madden lol
@@chrishaus1607 did they?! No, I hate that shit!
Is this an advanced stats feed? There's not circles underthe qbs. looks like something wrong w the settings
Could they be any more distracting?
@@mylesdrynan760 Maybe if the one under the ball carrier flashed green & red? That would be even worse 😺😺

I didn't expect Toronto to play so well.
they are a very good team,
I expected Rourke to play like he did! This game restored reality to the CFL B/S BC Rourke hype!
@@Matt-nj1yh There isn't hype. Just the Argos planned a game against Rourke by gathering film on him

Idc about the circles, but I’d like it if BC would actually wear jerseys where you can actually read the numbers.
Dominant win for TOronto.
Lines, maybe yes... but not circle please.
Aaaarrrrrggooooosssszzzzz

Most likely on TSN+
Can we have glowing neon arrows over each player to? Just to be on the safe side .🤨
Whats with the circles and lines ... so annoying !!
I circles are fine, but why not show the behind the Quarter-back view angle. You have 5 TSN channels, so you can designate one channel for the alternate broadcast
You just cannot have two number one quarterbacks. Trade VA to Calgary and build a team around Rourke.

The CFL on TSN augmented feed is so fun to look at it is pretty much the next-gen stats of the CFL that's pretty much what that augmented feed is.
Wtf are these circles? I do not remember these last night while watching the game
Still poor tackling by the DB. Look at that last play in the highlight. McFadden not going for the knees or ankles. High tackling never works and neither does a shoulder block.
