I'm surprised that this is so one sided. I personally don't really care for the small scoring, it doesn't fit with the rest of the game. It's like:

next gen LCD
next gen LED lighting
ground breaking animations
EM scoring?

It just doesn't fit. Yes yes scoring is all relative and what does it matter, well the first thought that comes to my head when I see my score is why does my 2015 game have a score from 1975? It makes sense on Big Juicy Mellons or something like that.

It just isn't consistent with everything else. Not that things have to be consistent, but from games after AFM till about now things are pretty consistent scoring wise, where you'd get about a million for doing nothing after 3 balls, 5 to 10 with minor success, and so on and so forth...breaking a billion on any game was a miracle for the most part. Williams/Stern shared the same path there.

So to break from that consistency, for me there has to be a reason...why? I don't get it. Why reduce the scoring into this bizarre place that no game since the EM era has had? What is there to gain? It seems like it:

a) creates initial confusion for new players
b) creates initial confusion for existing players

I don't see any positives from the move other than to be different for the sake of being different, but that's just me.
