The Replays are Somewhat Difficult to use on Console

Just like the title states. The UI for the replay system makes it rather cumbersome and a bit of a pain to use when on console. It all stems from the fact that the controls currently do not give functionality to the scrollbar for console players.

If console players want to pull up a replay so that they can see something that happened at the end of the game, they have to either watch the entire game at x2, or jump ahead in 20 second increments (but it has to reload everything every single jump), both of which take minutes to actually get to the end of a 10 minute game.

I’m not exactly sure what the optimal solution would be. I think on the PlayStation, it would be really cool if players could scroll forwards and backwards on the touchpad, but I also realize that wouldn’t help the Xbox players at all.

To summarize, the replay system is fantastic, but the UI is a bit clunky on console. Any improvements the dev team could make to it (specifically making it easier to fine tune and to jump to the beginning and end) would be greatly appreciated by console players.

Wait… So they still haven’t fixed this?
I don’t understand, Netflix and other streaming services on the xbox have this feature. Why won’t blizzard implement this?

They’ve made some changes to replay mode since then. You could adjust your increments to as much as a minute now. You have to press triangle to bring those options up. It replaces the spectate overlay function though, which kinda sucks.
