Pool - Bold resource

Dear Gamers,

We need your opinion again. As you all know, to bold a text is a very useful resource when you want to give emphasis to a particular piece of information. Assuming that this is true, we want to know what you, as an user, would find a better use of this resource on our game screens.

Possibility (1)
To bold the team from which you are viewing the respective information.

In the example below, assume you DO NOT manage São Paulo. But you are viewing São Paulo´s matches, so we bold all São Paulo occurrences in the screen.



Possibility (2)
To always bold, no matter the screen you are viewing, the team you manage.

In the example below, assume you DO MANAGE São Paulo, and you are viewing Internacional´s matches. Using this second idea, instead of bolding Internacional we bold São Paulo, which is the team you manage.



We were discussing these 2 ideas among our group, and we think both solutions make sense. The first possibility would make it easier for you to identify the team from which you are viewing the actual information, but on the other hand it would confuse you if you wanted to find your team among the lines. The second one would make it easier for you to always identify your team while you browse the game screens, but on the other hand would not make your life easier if you wanted to easily identify the team for which you are looking info.

Make your choices! What do you think we should go for: (1) or (2)?

Hi,

I think keep it simple and only bold your own club.

Possibility 1 and maybe change the color of the team that you manage to some different from the other teams and the team that you are viewing the matches (in this case, bold). :)

Just like in SM. Use possibility 2 please.

I like Denis' idea of using a different color for your team, otherwise just stick with option #2.

Btw Gabriel, post a screenshot of the textured field + compact interface with the updated icons and logo watermark. (eye candy for all :) )
