    High Score for Multi-Platform Players

    I use the same id and Ubisoft account with Xbox, PS4, and Switch. When I play Just Dance 2019, it always shows me the best score from any of the three platforms as my high score for the dance. I really wish it would only show me my best score for the platform I'm logged into. If my Xbox score is higher than my Switch score, then when I'm playing Just Dance on Switch, I really don't need to see my Xbox score. I'd rather see just my best Switch scores when I play on Switch. When I'm dancing to Switch, my goal is to improve my previous best score on Switch; when my Xbox score is significantly higher than my best Switch score so far, the Xbox score sets an unrealistic target. I try to remember to write down my best Switch scores, but occasionally I forget, and it would be nice just to see it displayed on the game.

    I see that you have made one nice update. The Dancer of the Week appears to only show a score hit on the same platform that you're using. On the older versions of Just Dance, when a multi-platform player used the same id and Ubisoft account on two different platforms, it automatically transferred the highest scores (even across platforms) to the world leaderboards. I see that you've eliminated this cross-network scoring so that scores don't transfer across platforms for Dancer of the Week. That's a nice improvement.

    It sure would be nice to see more than one score for Dancer of the Week. Instead of showing an avatar in this spot, surely you could list 5-10 players, giving at least 5 times as much publicity to top dancers, instead of just to one player (who often happens to be the Dancer of the Week on multiple dances). Also, the 5th or 10th best score would seem a little more attainable, and make more dancers feel like they might have a chance, especially on the first day of the week. (By the way, I'd also be in favor of Dancer of the Day.) I sort of miss the old leaderboards, in that they showed my rank to help me see where I stand, but I do like the Dancer of the Week idea.

    Thank you. :-)

    I also meant to thank the Just Dance team for making an improvement in 2019 that really helps multi-platform players. This year, when I switched platforms, it was much easier to unlock the alternates. All I needed to do to unlock the extremes was hit Superstars on the corresponding main version, and all of the other alternates have come out of the gift machine much sooner. When I tried Switch this week, I got all but one of the alternates out after going through every dance one time. This really helps.

    Last year, having all of the alternates locked in the gift machine, including the extremes, and having them come out randomly was really frustrating. After week 1 of the JDWC qualifiers, although I had been pretty happy with my Xbox score, before the adjusted scores were posted, I was testing out the other platforms. I wound up doing a lot of dances that I really didn't need to do just to try to open the extremes, and in one case I had been really unlucky and practically had to empty the gift machine to get the extreme I needed out of it. You want to see how well you're doing on the extremes to help decide between platforms. THANK YOU for making it so much easier to unlock the extremes this year. (But I feel sorry for any players who are struggling to hit the Superstars needed to unlock them. Hopefully the extremes eventually unlock some other way for those players.)

    I'll make sure they get your Thank-You. I'm glad you've liked the changes.
