With the glorious new 16 player multi play rooms we have more players than we can view on the scoreboard which is unfortunate. Although we might get some way to view them all at once I think a good thing to have right now (and possibly even better than displaying them all at once) would be to have a couple modes you could toggle through with tab or something (like how tab turns it on or off).

I am talking about this scoreboard here

As you can see, once i failed I cant even see myself on the scoreboard or anyone who is rank 10 or lower.

1) Scoreboard displays the top 7 players and yourself
Since it only fits 8-9 players as it is, if you want to see how the top players in the room are doing you can just display them and see how you stack up.

2) Display the 8 players around you.
So if you are rank 12 it displays the 3 players below you and 4 above you. so if you are last, it will display the bottom 8 players, and if you are first it will display the top 8 players, but anywhere in between you can see who's above and who's below you.

3) Display exactly like in single player, Show the top player + 6 (or less) scores directly above you + your own score. and if you are in the top 8 then just display the top 8 players.
E.G.
An interesting compromise as well. Probably the easiest to implement but I like it less than option 2 since i like being able to see who's on my tail in a multiplay room.

Edited the original post to have a picture of what im talking about. I think you are mixing up what im talking about and the lobby.
The post you linked was a new display for the lobby but i just want the display on the left during play to work more like the friends list or top 50 modes in single player.

oh, the multiplayer scoreboard.
it should still be the same as before shouldn't it, just with more people?

When in a 16 player room, You are unable to see yourself on the scoreboard if you are rank 10 or lower in score.

Option 1 may be more suitable for even larger rooms.

option 1 seems like a bug rather than a request

Both options are meant to be viable for any sized room. Option 1 just shows the top + you, while option 2 would only show those players with scores near you. So in both cases if the room were 100 people you either saw the top 8 or the 8 closest scores to your own.

Option 1 is meant to be like single player where you can only see the top 4 (rank 1, and rank 48,49,50 and your own) scores even though thousands of other players have scores, similarly in the multiplay room there may be 16 people(or more) but you only want to see the top players and yourself on the scoreboard.

(added an option for doing it exactly like single player does it after reading your comment <3, that might actually be the easiest way to do it)

What I meant is that for smaller room (eg 16 players) it may have some meaning to know that you're currently #10-#16. But for larger rooms (eg 64 players), for me at least, I'm not interested in knowing who is the #50 I just overtook. The flashes maybe more distracting than useful. Knowing my current position and the top few players makes more sense to me.

I see! And that's why the Feature Request is for hopefully multiple ways to display. Because I really love seeing who's behind me and who I'm passing, and could care less about #1 if they are leagues ahead of me, and you (or any other player in the room) might want to see only the top players.

In my opinion it shouldn't show 8 or below. It should only show top 8 while playing, and in the score screen everyones score should be viewable!

I disagree I think at the very least it should show your own score.
But perhaps you would like to confirm my bug report about not being able to view everyone's scores? t/212826
