Why was the UI such a big issue for the devs? UI over budget?

How did the UI get over budget? Why so many issues with a simple thing as that? was it the plus menu? Or the game menu?  there wasn’t even a scoreboard until later on.

    @WedgeTornado It's not the UI specifically. It's more the way the engine handles the UI. I fear Frostbite isn't going to be around much longer, it seems that it's becoming too difficult to develop on and they'll probably switch to something like UE5.

@MortalitasWolf Are there any real life multiplayer examples for UE5?
My last Unreal Engine experience in multiplayer environments was in Vanguard: Saga of Heroes, which used a variant of UE2. And that one had considerable issues with increasing number of mobs, including AI. Sure today we have considerable more powerful CPUs and GPUs, but we also expect a much higher quality of graphics.
While UE5 demos look amazing, so did the Anthem trailers and Starwas Battlefront 2 and BFV trailers. But Trailers, Demos and Movies are a different genre than multiplayer games.

Yeah definitely a lot different, BF2042 being one such example of how different the trailer can be compared to the finished product.
