Game Leaderboards

Something that has puzzled me for a while is how people are able to get more than the max on a game.

By this I mean you look at a game on TA & TT and everyone gets the same score on the game leaderboard even if the score drops, due to completions. Yet here on TSA that doesn't seem to happen.

Take Tomb Raider for example Tomb Raider Achievements

You scroll down to the Leaderboard and despite the max being 997 the top three spaces have managed to exceed this. Could some explain as to why it does this or is it a bug? Or are they cheating? Sometimes despite finishing the game they are less than the max, they are also listed below in the longer list.

I'm unsure as if its to cheating as from my game list these games also have someone who exceeded it (excluding anything that hads deleted achievements):

(Also anything with * next to it seems to have people that seem to have unlocked all achievements yet none of them turn green, when you view their unlocked profile. I've only tried number 1 on the game leaderboard)

4 Elements Achievements *
Acceleration of SUGURI X-Edition HD
Alan Wake *
Alien Splatter Redux
Aliens: Colonial Marines *
Angels That Kill (is actually less by 1 point.)
Animation Throwdown: The Quest for Cards *
Bayonetta Achievements (less by 1)
BioShock Remastered *
Borderlands Achievements *
Carpe Diem Achievements *
Castle of Illusion Achievements

I could go on but it seems to effect alot of games.

Unlocked all achievements yet not turning green only (I've only tried number 1 on the game leaderboard.):

AR-K Achievements
Black Mesa Achievements

These are the only two I came across going to Castle of Illusion from my TSA scanned games but there will most certainly be more out there.

I guess it's more likely a bug than a cheat.
But I don't understand how it can happen. And moreover especially only on TSA...

Anyway this needs to be investigated further cause this may have a huge impact on game ratio, TSA score and leaderboards.

I hope an answer will pop soon.

I think the leaderboard goes on how many TSA points the game was worth when the game was completed? Not 100% sure

daysocks said:If that was the case then it wouldn't drop like it does on TA and TT for games, and wouldn't effect certain games.

You look at games on them both and all the top 10 have the same score its only here that they do not, sometimes its alot more, sometimes a few more, sometimes less than the game says on the page.

I always assumed it was due to roundup that it would give the extra one point but having looked at Tomb Raider as you have linked, 1st place hasn't even got the achievements. So that's puzzled me.
