    Is it just fme or does the new MLB odds/scoreboard suck?

    I much preferred the older version. I always used it until it went away today, for good I guess. I cannot get the new one to list the schedule in rotation order, show the correct time zone, or save any entry in the settings tab. I also cannot see all the games on a single screen as with the older version. I personally dislike the new page's look and feel. Just bitchin.

    Play with it some, you will get use to it. I didn't like it at first, but I stopped using the old one when they brought the BETA out. It improved big time over time.

    In the settings you can sort by rotation number, but you need to sign in. Not sure you tried that.

    All the games fit on the screen for me.

    Just mess around with it some, and it will grow on you.

    Hi befus,

    Thanks for sharing.

    As onlooker noted, once logged in you can actually hit the Settings wrench to configure the program to sort by Rotations:



    As for seeing the games in one screen, can you confirm what resolution you use?

    Screen resolution could be a factor. Mine is 1920x1080.

    I like the new one fine. But there is one thing that I find annoying and distracting. I brought this up in another thread and I don't think what I was getting at was clear.

    When I talk about highlighting here , I am NOT talking about highliting a game I choose to highlite. What I find distracting is that wherever your mouse pointer is , that row ( or column) gets a bright yellow highlite. WHY? I see no reason for this. I typically have my hand on the mouse when reading. If my hand moves slightly , a different row becomes bright yellow - one row at a time. If I move the mouse purposely to go somewhere else on the page to , say, click for a line history or whatever, I have to see rows I am not interested in become bright yellow and quickly go back to normal as another becomes bright yellow.

    I can't imagine the purpose of this distracting/annoying feature. The constant changing (unless your mouse hand is perfectly still ) of which row is bright yellow ---- please try to remove this feature or please explain to me why it might be useful to some.

    Again, I am not talking about clicking a box to hi-lite a row of one's choice in the lighter shade of yellow -- that's fine and dandy.

    I hated the beta version first, but now that I've figured it all out, I prefer it. I'd say one of my favorite features is that when you mark a line, the whole line stays highlighted. The only thing that I would like would be to be able to see the check box to mark a line AND see the ROT numbers. As it is now, I have to choose one or the other and switch back and forth when I need to mark a line.

    Why can't I even see the MLB games in the sportsbook? I can see futures, NFL, soccer, but NO baseball.....what's up? I tried to contact Live help, but got an error message.

    instead of just fixing the old one, they had to make another one.


    just another thing to add to the list

    You can still see that by highlighting your mouse over the opener's column.

    Well I had to reload several times, but finally got it to save my settings. Still inferior in any utilitarian way to the older version. May be a little prettier, but not as functional IMHO.

    Like the new odds page. In the old version, one could check several games, and get only them to come up on a different page. Can this be done on the new version?
