Well, it’s new to me anyway. It’s called ScoreGrid and the feature that I’m loving is the Game Visualisation. Imagine a simple football field viewed from above where you can just see the ball moving around in real-time. The trail behind the ball tells you who has possession. Incidents like fouls, goal attempts and the like are signified with little popups.
Dead simple, very close to “as it happens” judging by my listening to 5Live at the same time. I’d put it around 15 seconds behind real life. You can fast-forward and replay a game from the start, locate certain points and so on.
I seem to recall the BBC having (do they still?) a virtual replay in true 3D where you could replay certain moments in certain games. I liked playing with that but the real-time nature of this makes a game almost watchable if you can’t get any other media. Overseas, you can’t listen to 5Live and the game may not be televised. This makes for a very acceptable alternative.
