Issues With The Just Dance Weekly Tournament
Hey Just Dance Team,
I hope you guys are doing well. Before I complain, I just want to say that I think you guys are doing a nice job with the seasons! My only issue is that they don't come soon enough! Seriously, it's your best idea for delivering content so far, and I appreciate it.
Anyways, let's talk about the Weekly. It's 8 songs of the Just Dance 2020 base game songs. Now at this exact time last year, the weekly used to occur during happy hour and it was actually a lot of fun. Not knowing which songs would appear out of a selection of 500+ was engaging every week! For example, let's look at the song selection of last year's songs:

While the songs may not be for everyone, there is much more of a variety when the weekly is during Happy Hour. Now let's compare this to the past couple of Weeklys (at the time this was written):

As I've marked on the image, certain songs like to show up consistently every week. Whether it be the normal or the alternate version, it's still the same songs being played every week. This is part of a big issue with the weekly right now: the selection of songs that the WDF has to choose is much smaller than it would be if it was during Happy Hour. A selection of around 45 songs is much more predictable than a selection of over 500 songs. This small selection results in less excitement for the weekly every Sunday. When the game released, a full Just Dance 2020 weekly was fun, since the songs were relatively new. Now that the game has been out for so long, this excitement just diminishes since we've been hearing these songs for so long. Happy Hour Weekly Tournaments raise this excitement since the song list every week is almost impossible to predict. It would be nice if we went back to weekly tournaments during happy hour to preserve a high level of excitement and suspense for the tournament every Sunday.
One last thing I would like to mention is how hard it is to access information about the weekly tournament. When I looked up "just dance weekly tournament" on google, there was no information from Ubisoft or the Just Dance Team of when it is. This is definitely an issue for newer players since most don't even know that the Weekly Tournament exists without finding out from other players. I think there should be some sort of acknowledgment towards this tournament in the game or some type of social media post.
Hopefully, this feedback can get the weekly tournament more well known and more exciting again! Right now, the weekly tournament is just getting less and less exciting every week, which needs some small changes to make it more exciting again.
