    So, ESPN unveiled their new website last night. It's pretty modern with many pictures, a lot of white space, responsive, etc. I don't like it though, as the latest headlines thing in the right column is gone. Opinions?

    I hate it. Why fix something that isn't broken?

    Color scheme is bad. Format is bad.

    I like the new design at a high level but as your drill down into the site it seems unfinished. For example, go into NFL->scores.

    I freaking hate this shit. I can't stand when the owner of the content decides they want to "fix" stuff for us. I used to have a Yahoo page set up EXACTLY like I wanted. All my sports teams and score, weather, websites, news, everything. Perfect.

    Then they completely changed the layout because it's what "we wanted" and I couldn't figure it out and haven't been back in years.

    Same shit happened with my iTunes page on my computer. I have no idea how to access my library again like I used to--was so simple.

    I hate it.

    It's NOT broken, it's perfect, leave it alone.

    i dont like it either, my company went through a redesign and I hated that too...But people got around to liking it and being familiar with it after a while.

    CNN's redesign is major shit, not sure if you guys use that on the phone but it is bugged out

    I actually like it. I do wish the top news stories would be to the right under where it says 'Now' though.

    They wanted to have 1 site that is the same on phones, tablets, and browsers.

    They referenced liking the scroll forever mode that is on Facebook, etc...

    It was done for phones...
