In the current version, its much harder to know what is going on

As a Player
I have no idea who is on my team or how many people are on my team
I have no idea who is on the other team, or how many players

As a Spectator
I have no idea who is on the team of the player I watch
I have no idea how many people are on the other team
I have no idea who is attacking or defending, it always just says 'Defend' at the top of the screen regardless
I can work it out by watching the poles very closely (but I shouldn't have to)



I dont want to pause, to press tab, to see simple infos, anyway, its hard to see from tab immediately who is present or not.



On the plus side, the 'in play' indications towards the goals are much better than before.

What do you suggest?

One thing I could think of that might mitigate confusion is extra overlay, but I would be against any form of that as I found the learning curve enjoyable and felt good once I worked out what was going on (only played about 5hrs).

For in play, I prefer it like on elite, where the teams are shown on the left and right of the main play screen, battle used to be like this too.

For spec, I still also want to see these teams, I defintely need to know what team the player I spec is on, and who is defending and who is attacking, there must be various ways to pass on the information to the viewer.
