Have these issues been fixed for new game?
I am not sure if I will get the new JD17 game. JD16 was a disappointment to me. I hardly liked any songs and they took away being able to buy a couple of new ones. I got a $20 nintendo card for Christmas and couldn't buy any good songs. I would have purchased at least a couple like I did on an older game.
I only play this game occasionally and for a workout (Sweat version) when I don't feel like going to the Gym. So unlimited makes no sense with its crazy high price (as much as the game itself. A game I'm paying for should have good content to start).
Also, why have scores if it doesn't tell you how you did. As a competitive person, I want to beat my top scores, but it doesn't put up where your score places. That's like a basketball game telling you you score 97 points, but not saying how many the opponent had.
I tried looking for info, but it just says "More fun & easier." What does that mean? I don't use a phone, I use a controller, and that was on last years game. Does it have Sweat playlists already you can use? Do scores show up with how you did now? Are there more songs, can you purchase a couple if you want?
Thanx for any info.

I don't think scores are tracked while in the Sweat & Playlists mode, but high scores are tracked while in the Dance Party mode. On each song there's a High Scores option (Idk what console you have so I can't say exactly how you access it, but for example for the Wii U you'd go to Dance Party, then Rival, and then when a song pops up you'd press the + button to access the High Scores. I forgot if high scores are saved in Co-Op mode) I believe however it'll only show your top score when you see the list. (i.e. If you have more than 1 Dancer Card and you both play the same song, the top scores will only show the top score from each player, not the top scores from just an individual player)
There are pre-made playlists in the Sweat & Playlists option. Under Sweat & Playlists, click Playlists and the pre-made ones will appear. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYzdRaGPDBg Here's a video for visuals. (Even though the video doesn't show it, I think you can edit these pre-made playlists, although I might be wrong)
You cannot purchase individual songs from Unlimited, it all comes in one big collection when you subscribe. The price for Unlimited is not one price; it comes in 3 prices for 1 month, 3 months, and 1 year. ($5 for 1, $10 for 3, and $30 for 1 year; for the most part these are under the price of the actual game)
In terms of the "easier" part of the saying, it might refer to the Search option that'll be in the next game where you'll be able to search for the songs you want to dance to due to the massive amount of songs available.
All of this, except for the "easier" saying, applies to JD2016, JD2017 may or not be different from these, but they probably will be the same.

Thanx for the responses.
I might pass this year after getting the last 3 games, since it sounds like last years, which I thought was a let down.
I don't know why Ubisoft can't figure out such a simple thing. After each song I do it gives me a score like 8050. Why can it not put up my top 5 scores with that one so I can see how I did? Seems so simple. Instead if I want to know, I have to pause, write down the songs & scores, and go look them up individually after I am done with my workout. That's something I had to do on games 20 years ago on games when I was a kid playing super nintendo.
I don't know why they'd get rid of being able to add a song or 2 for a couple of dollars each as well. I only play 2-3 times a month (and haven't been really playing JD16 at all lately), so don't want to spend that much for unlimited. $30 each year is about what the game costs (usually get it on Black Friday for $30-$35). I get a $10-$20 Nintendo card for Christmas from my Uncle that I could use on songs, but instead might buy Smash Bros Characters instead.
