Why does the new scoreboard show fake scores?
It's always reflected the XP rewards in-game previously, at least that was always my understanding of how it worked. It was a reflection of ALL your actions, not just kills/assists/captures, but also...

@GebeeLAoW Man I hope not. I know they had to make a lot of concessions to get 128 players working and I like 128 players but like...increasingly I'm thinking it wasn't freakin worth it. Maybe increase the size of matches but by a lot less if that's the source of so many of these design related issues.
@Straatford87 Would love to get an answer from the team on why they felt the needed to make the scoreboard function on an entirely different scoring system that's not reflective of the in-game scoring system that previous games have used.
they had one job in 3 months. make a scoreboard and the still ****ed it up
You get placeholder numbers because there wasn't any underlying score system developed for this game, just an XP system. Another crucial failing of this games design.
I did my take on why this is a bad mistake in another thread and hey-presto, here are the results of its implementation.
It's took 3 months to developer a few UI elements to show whilst holding down a key. What a misery the development process is for this game. When will they admit that the state of the game engine is currently utter trash?
- @LeMairyHuff Does it actually not exist? I mean, from what I can tell it's beyond barebones. As if they couldn't use any work from previous BF games and had to put together the minimum-viable-product version of it for this game and lost all the nuance that rewarded players for cool stuff and rewarded/encouraged teamplay...
I'm hoping DICE answers honestly, even if it's a bad answer, because 3 months to build a fake scoreboard when the game is a dumpster fire is uh...like...really, really, really, really bad and makes me wonder why on earth the team thinks they have the ability to turn this almost completely sunken ship around.
