As used herein, “visually distinguishing” a player may include any indication in the media asset that alerts a user to the presence of the player in the sports programming. In some embodiments, visually distinguishing a player may include highlighting, boxing, bolding, enlarging, changing the color, or otherwise graphically altering the player as displayed in the sports programming. In addition, multimedia indications may also be used. For example, the media application may use audio tones and/or audio descriptions (e.g., a verbal announcement) to indicate the presence of the player in the sports programming. In some embodiments, the media application may additionally or alternatively visually distinguish players based on user inputs (e.g., instructions to visually distinguish or not visually distinguish the players currently appearing or players that will appear in the sports programming).
