What happened on espn.go.com ?

[stuckinbig11]

I am away on travel and link up only to find that the page has completely changed. I can open a story about L. James and get scores for things I don't care about, but the top line for opening pages for various sports is gone.

It looks like they formatted their web page for mobile phone or tablet users. These types of users will find it easier to scroll down the page for the top stories instead of selecting them via drop down menus.

They decided it was fitting to have an interface as crappy as their content.

Thanks Tee. Defiantly one of my favorite cameo scenes.

Haha me too and no prob

I took the 5 minutes it takes to customize it, and now I love it. I'm surprised so many people are complaining about it. I log on and immediately see top headlines as well as scores and news of Cuse Football, Cuse Basketball, the Yankees, the Knicks, the Rangers, and NYCFC -- all on one page.

It sucks. CBS Sports is my new go to for checking scores and events now.

Wanna explain how you did it? I am trying to find the lacrosse page, and it is nowhere to be found.

New ESPN. Worst. Site. Ever.

Indeed, me as well.

ESPN lost me years ago.

Have you created an account? If you add 'College Sports' to your favorites, it'll give you news to all of the non-revenue sports:

Are we the only people who think this, or has their viewership dropped in half? I would love to see the numbers. Worst. Site. Ever.

my ESPN.com page hasnt changed since they did the overhaul a month or 2 ago. I don't think its that bad.

 

[JarHeadJim]

I hate it! Now get off my lawn!

CBS is my favorite site now also. I like the layout and I also like the writing style - they throw in sarcasm and humor on stories that deserve it.

I had done that several days ago and still got the same opening page with none of those sports showing. Today, they are showing. ??

Yeah - it's light years better than the old site.

proud to say I have now permanently switched to the CBS Sports site, never to visit espn again, unless I need to access espn3 for game-viewing purposes

I'm amazed by this. The new ESPN site is superior to CBS and the old site and it's not close. Text is readable across all devices, easy access to your favorite teams, ads are less intrusive, and the infinite scrolling is kinda nice.

To each his own I suppose

The concept is something called Mobile 1st Design. It is the trend across the board in web design. Design the website with a mobile layout first, then build out the rest of the site from there.
Suck it up and get used to it. The site is so much cleaner.

 

[Jasoncuse]

If they wanted it to be so mobile friendly, why is it impossible to browse box scores? You click the scores link, and you go to some scores for all leagues. If you click a game and then hit back, you're automatically back on the main page. What a terrible job.

 

[syr14]

Honestly you're better off downloading an app to do all that. Don't bother with the mobile site.
