A new graphics package was launched on August 27, 2017 for Fox's first NFL preseason broadcast, featuring a flat design scheme, and shifting football to a horizontal scoreboard along the bottom of the screen. Upon its debut, the new football scoreboard was widely panned by viewers for its basic appearance and small text size. This package has also been adopted by Big Ten Network, and was deployed for MLB coverage on Fox and FS1 starting with the 2017 MLB postseason. Fox continues to use Vizrt software, and began to increasingly utilize laptops to run its on-air graphics as opposed to full systems (maintained as backups).
