Letter Grade Issue

XOR-SYS · Trick Member Joined: 04 May 2005 Location: Canada

I've come across a very strange problem with my DDR Extreme, involving the letter grades you receive at the end of the song. The problem is, it always gives me a lower grade than that which I deserve.

I completed "A" on Heavy with nothing but Perfects and a few Greats, and I got a B score, when rightfully I should have got an AA.

Does anyone know what's going on, and how I can fix this? It's not fair.

Are you playing on Extreme U.S. or are you playing on the Extreme machine? I'm assuming at home. How many Perfects and Greats did you get? Exactaly. If you full combo'd it but got more greats than perfects, then you wouold probablly get a B.

I'm not lying, it's definitely a technical issue with the game. I know how many Perfects as opposed to Greats it takes to get an A or AA, so don't insult my intelligence.

Has anyone else had this issue? I'm sure if you have you can take me seriously.

Please.

Tell us how many perfects and greats you got, and we might figure something out.

It's one of 5 things:

1) You got a lot of misses you didn't notice
2) You're lying
3) You have Little on and the game is computing scores via the full # of dance points
4) You have Freezes off and the game is computing scores via the full # of dance points
5) You're in Training Mode and you've changed the start and stop measures so that you're not playing the full song.

Make sure you have workout step turned off if you are playing Extreme US Home version

that sounds about right. i doubt you could get higher than a C on a with little on.
also, Ex.US's scoring system is on all kinds of crack. i'm tellin you. i seen it.

I've had little get set by accident. I had to reboot the ps2 to get little to turn off, because even doing a FC I was getting C's with little on.

Don't know if that's your problem, but I noticed right away that the steps weren't the same steps they should have been.

I've also noticed the scoring in DDR MAX! is much more brutal than the scoring in Ultramix2.

The problem sort of fixed itself, I don't know how. Thanks for all your tips, though.

Has anyone else thought this person might be referring to EXTREME US?

Ummm... I encountered that also...

I suppose to have a double A but I got B... I realized, I turned off freeze arrows...

You have to include freeze arrows to get your "RIGHT" score..
