OK some will like it, and I know its working exactly as they designed it to work, and I suppose given that intention it works quite well. But in terms of meeting the user requirement of 'I want to watch more than one game at once' its the wrong solution.
The better solution is just show the multiple screens without the magazine hosted format. Again, I know that's kind of the point, it's a live action soccer Saturday, but it doesn't truly allow you to watch two games properly
- let it work when there are at least two games, why require four
- just split the screen into four quarters so they are equal, the three mini screens are too small to be useful
- allow you to choose the main game for commentary by the remote arrow keys
- if there are more than four games on, last day of season for example, let you choose your own games
- in fact why limit it to football, when golf or F1 is often clashing with football
I know years ago they used to have something similar to allow two sports channels at once but they discontinued it, sky will probably say it wasn't used enough but I really don't understand why.
Just my view!
Edit: if this is what they are going for the main screen needs to be more dynamic. It was watching Everton knock the ball across their back four when at wolves Brighton there was a corner. Corner led to a goal but they missed it
