MaskedOwl Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I wish they hadn't changed the name of that thing. Which monkey thought up the name 'Latics Player'?! Its very confusing and annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singe Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I sort of know what he means, when you read the official home page you think it is talking about signing a player or something. Latics Player talks Penney speaks to Latics player Latics Player Live Maybe it should be called LaticsPlayer or ro distinguish it. But yes very minor in the scale of things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Its not that confusing To be honest, from a marketing perspective it's an awful name. At least with Latics World, you instantly knew what it was, but with Player it means more than one thing and holds a mixed message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_ragg1984 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 It's annoying though isn't it? When it says "Penney talks to Latics Player", I keep thinking "well I hope he bloody does. How will he get things like tactics across to them otherwise?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How will he get things like tactics across to them otherwise?" John Terry says that Capello sometimes uses the haridryer, you kinda imagine him trying to speak thorough it a like megaphone, but ina shouty voice as it doesn't seem to work.

I agree with what your saying, but there can be flaws with anything in that aspect where a minority will dislike it ot become confused by it. But addtionally, its not as confusing as made out as the official site would always include the players name in article titles rather than be vague and simply say they speak to a "Latics Player".

No, what I mean is initially you're going to get a bit of crossed wires about it. Until you click on it and realise of course Dave Penney had had a video interview. If you're branding something, you should have NO confusion whatsoever about it. "Sign up for Player" looks like we're signing a player. It's an irritating naming flaw, nothing to go OTT about like. I think webmonkey Ackey ought to use better terminology such as "Penney gives his thoughts on our Player service" rather than something like "Penney talks to Player" to avoid this issue completely.

Matt Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 ....the other brand name for the multimedia internet suite that didn't get the thumbs up was Latics MediaJizzer. I think it's pretty catchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know, but what I'm saying is there will always be someone who is confused through a message. Its part and parcel of it, with it being very hard to create the perfect message. No doubt people were confused with the "Latics World" concept when it first started, but people get used to it. I agree with what your saying that there is nothing to go OTT about because there isn't. I think just a little common sense on understanding the terminology in place is also required though, because you'd never expect a Penney Talks to Player article on the site, with Penney sat there actually talking to a player. IF we ever had an article like that, I'm very sure the article would refer to the player in name, such as "Penney talks to Furman", than leaving it in the air simply calling him a "player".

al_bro Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Anyone elses jump every few seconds or freeze? It freezes on me as well. Very annoying when watching highlights. I've changed the settings to maximum, but it's still no better. Before I was able to download the file and play it back in Windows player and it was much better. Once again they've upgraded and made it worse, just like "Rivals " did, and we all know what happened to that. People will not put up with this and the club will lose much needed income.
