Player labels and icons that make every play easier to follow 

Picture this: a player catches the ball in the corner, and you instantly see a bullseye icon next to their name. You know immediately this is one of the team's sharpshooters. Peacock Performance View uses clear visual cues to help you understand what's happening on the floor: 

A fire icon appears when a player makes at least three consecutive shots 

When you see the fire icon, you know a player is heating up and entering dangerous territory. This helps you anticipate when teams might start designing plays around that hot hand or when defenses will begin focusing their attention on shutting them down.  

A star icon identifies recent All-Stars 

The star icon highlights elite talent on the floor, helping casual fans quickly recognize the game's biggest names. When an All-Star has the ball in a crucial moment, you'll know exactly who to watch and why the defense is shifting into high alert.  

A bullseye icon marks players known as long-range shooters 

When a player with the bullseye icon catches the ball beyond the arc, defenses must react immediately. This icon helps you understand why defenders close out aggressively on certain players while giving others more space, revealing the strategic chess match happening in real time. 

A colored ring shows who has the ball 

The colored ring instantly identifies the ballhandler, making it effortless to track the action even when multiple players are moving at once. No more losing track of who's controlling the play during fast-paced sequences or complex offensive sets. 

These visual elements give all types of fans an easy way to follow the action while providing additional context about player attributes.

The Player Pulse Card: real-time insight at the top of the screen 

The Player Pulse Card transforms advanced basketball data into an accessible format at the top of your screen. Here's what it shows: 

Heat Maps 

Green and red shot zones reveal where a player is historically most effective on the court. A white dot and zone brightness marks where the player is currently shooting from. Suddenly, you understand why defenses collapse when certain players drift to certain spots. 

Shooting Stats   

Track how a player is performing throughout the game. See if they're having an off night from three or if they're unstoppable in the paint. This helps explain shifts in momentum and decision-making as the game unfolds. 

Star Ratings 

A star rating displays a player's shooting ability on two-point or three-point attempts, giving you instant context on their next shot. 

The Player Pulse Card offers depth for devoted fans while staying simple enough for anyone to understand at a glance. 

Visual elements that make big moments even bigger 

Peacock Performance View adds visual flourishes that bring the excitement of live basketball to life: 

• Shot trails appear on three-point attempts and turn green when the shot is made 
• A shot-made animation appears around the rim after a successful basket 
• Additional insights like minutes played, rookie indicators, and jersey numbers enriches every moment 
• These elements keep you informed and engaged from tip-off to final buzzer.
