Mixed Ability Band Dynamics?

[Oblong]

Just wondering if "medium" Dad and "easy" Mom (heh) will be dragging down the band where our kids are expert/hard bandmates.

Will our deficiencies at playing at the higher levels hold back the band? Are we going to hold down the scores or prevent songs and achievements from being unlocked?

Is this game going to play out like "real life" where David Cassidy said "I'm bigger than the Partridge Family" and left those talentless younger siblings?

it won't keep you from anything being unlocked and such. it will just affect the overall score. i'm not sure if it will affect the stars and such.

but you'll be able to access everything.

i'm sure once mom gets bored on easy, she'll be moving up. tell dad it really starts feeling like guitar on the hard level and he'll eventually move up once he gets bored with medium.

the bass player has the biggest multiplier, so if you're really concerned with scores, the expert player may want to play that one. then the other expert can be on the lead guitar. medium on drums, easy on singing. that should maximize your score with your particular case.

i wouldn't worry so much about the numerical score as i would everyone finishing 100% or near 100% on their level of choice.

That is great info, hardyfoster.

Thanks!

Although keep in mind what was talked about during the BOTB's Sometimes it's better to keep the multiplier going on any easier level then it is to almost nail it on a harder one.

Easy is the only difficulty that could hold the band back in BWT mode. However, moving Mom to medium vocals shouldn't be too difficult. Enjoy yourselves!
