Descoring was eliminated from the matrix of desirable game design characteristics after 2003. The feedback from teams for several years preceding that was consistent and universal - they hated descoring. This was reconfirmed with the brief flirtation with "Spoilers" in "Rack 'n Roll." So don't look for descoring to come back any time soon. At least, not before 2010.
