ESPN.com redesigns its whole website - thoughts?

[PittPoker]

For me personally I was on the new site for about 10 minutes checking it out and I don't particularly care for it. Maybe though it's because I am so used to how it used to be.

I was hoping it was an April Fools joke, but sadly it isn't.

Absolutely awful

It's horrible. CNNSI did the same to its website with poor results.

Awful, I am done going on the site because of it. I stopped CBSSports when they redesigned because it sucked, and I doubt I will use ESPN anymore.

I guess I'm the contrarian on this one. It takes a long time to scroll through it but there's a lot more to see.

I like it.

I like it. Less cluttered... more content. Like anything else, in a year if you were to look back at the old site, you would wonder how you even used such an antiquated version.

Hopefully they did not pay a lot of money to the web designers. I'd say the "new" version is awful visually, as well as from a user perspective. Hail to Pitt!

ESPN never put much into the old site. They simply repackaged video clips from the cable networks. Almost any change has to be better than the junk they used to put out.

More than willing to give the new site a try. Maybe it will try to cover breaking news because the old site made no attempt.
