No real support apart from a useless ai chatbot and therefore im posting here.
I've gotten robbed off 800 SVB due to inputs glitching in menus making me pay for a fishermans Vans hat and 400 Season pass currency. Please refund these two purchases totaling at 800SVB. Any help to steer me to some actual support section would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. I will not give out my real life name.
Four Months of Warnings: Why 0.30.1 Killed Tricklining, and How to Fix it.
For context, I have been warning and documenting this decline for months. Below is the history of my posts/feedback that has gone unaddressed: Do NOT remove pop glitches. | EA Forums - 12982786 Pop mechanics are essential to tricklining. | EA Forums - 13234117 Tricklining has been patched out | EA Forums - 13246407 Re: 0.30.1 Patch Notes - The "Boneless Side Effect" is killing the endgame | EA Forums - 13247534 Since the 0.30.1 patch, the gameplay has become less fluid, restrictive, and honestly, very unsatisfying and boring. By removing the depth of the pre 0.31.1 patch pop glitches as a 'side effect' of a minor animation fix, you are forcing the entire community into one specific, rigid playstyle. I used to play this game every single day for several hours. Now, I hardly play at all, and when I do, I can't stomach an hour of playing every couple of weeks, I’m forcing myself to try in hopes of looking past a patch that killed the fun for players who enjoyed the depth those pop mechanics added. You do not need to restrict your own gameplay to make it look 'realistic.' While 0.30.1 improved animations for some, it completely killed the enjoyment for the flashy tricklining community. Those pop mechanics were enjoyed by people who don't even consider themselves to be trickliners. The Solution: An 'Advanced/Legacy Pop Mechanics' Toggle. There already are gameplay toggles and there is no reason you shouldn't add a toggle that enables pre-0.30.1 physics. This allows the realism crowd to keep their new animations while letting trickliners have the freedom to still play the game in a way they find fun and a reason to come back and stay. If adding a toggle complicates things, adding pop features back is still possible and something to be heavily considered, again, realistic players have no reason to attempt a tuck knee pop, and that is not something they would accidently encounter that would break immersion. I would also like to mention again that this game is not realistic. Right now, Skate 3, a 14 year old game has more mechanical depth for tricklining than this new title. That is ridiculous. You're not only pushing away the very community that kept this franchise alive for a decade after EA abandoned it, but you're punishing the players outside of that community who enjoyed pop mechanics as well. There is a massive market for this level of depth, it’s exactly why the tony hawk games are as big as they are. If EA isn't going to provide that depth, someone else eventually will. Players care about what is fun, not the brand on the box. Please, don't patch out the depth, make it an intentional part of the game. You owe that to the community you claim to listen to and the same community that has shown they will regularly play the game for a decade if the game is fun for them and inclusive for their preferred playstyle. At this point removing those pop glitches was a choice, if you're going to make no effort to bring them back, which is what you are currently doing, it was not a "side effect", it is a deliberate decision to patch them out and keep the depth out of the game for no real reason. For once, listen to your community and stop using that phrase as a marketing slogan. I don't get paid to make posts here, I'm going out of my way to do this, I have over 1000 hours on this game and it really sucks to see the game get purposely made worse for no real benefit, I really miss playing this game so much, please fix the overlooked decision. The solution really is simple, either add the depth back to your game or keep it in the shadow of your 14 year old title, there is more to lose by pushing away the part of your community for no real benefit when solutions are possible.
Pumping and more changed?
So, I saw nothing related to this in the patch notes but pumping definitely feels worse as of the last update. I've been playing with vert pump assist at 0 for a good while now and up until today it felt totally fine to me; no issues getting to the top of quarter pipes, getting air off ramps, etc. but today it feels really unresponsive. Like the same timing for pumping I've been used to for hours and hours doesn't seem to work anymore, and overall I swear my character feels like they're heavier or something. Even pushing feels kinda different and sluggish, spins without pre-winding feel even slower. I'm not sure if any of this stuff was even intentional but imo the skating just feels worse now.
New challenges bad?
Is it just me or does anyone else find these new weekly speed lines overly difficult and highly annoying? I by no means am bad at the game and can appreciate retrying a speed line 10-15times but after that I start to think it is no longer a skill issue and that the speed lines are just difficult to complete because the game won’t allow it. I’ve been trying to grind this bus on “uphill battle” and can’t get it to work before collecting the last bearing. Idk if it’s just because I hate the speed line challenges in general but I think they’re bad through and through.
Characters and features i would like too see added
Coach frank ... also it would be nice if he was an actual npc in game and not just calling you like the others ... would be cool if in some of the tutorial missions the other character's including coach frank would actually come and skate with you in the missions where it would make sense for the designated npc missions too have them come and skate with you like in the previous skate games but this feature would probably require you too redesign the whole tutorial and missions etc lol ... also would be cool too have pro's appear in the game maybe when you guy's add the skate gamemode and spot battles pros could randomly call you up and challenge you too a game of skate or spot battle etc could be awesome and obviously you would want a variety of pros not just one and done and obviously you would add them into the game and do full mocap and everything and voice lines etc would be so awesome and maybe just make it a rare thing too just randomly happen so it doesn't get too annoying and obviously if the player didn't want too play them then they could just accept it or decline the challenge I honestly think it would be a banger feature :) and the last thing I would like is if coach frank could completely replace vee or just have an option in the skate. setting's too switch between coach frank and vee if the player wishes too have vee instead would be awesome but would probably require you too redesign the missions and the whole tutorial etc just some ideas maybe one of them could stick 💡👌.How I feel about this game so far
I’d say the game is a solid 6 out of 10 right now the game play itself is pretty fun and I like the operating system and layout and all that stuff. The mechanics are OK. It could use a lot more work with like the movement and stuff. The game seems very dialogue heavy and I swear like 95% of the characters in the game are female, which is like extremely unrealistic I don’t understand that, it’s like even the majority of the music in the game is sang by females. Is this like skate. feminist edition or its like this game was made by people have never skated before, but play Fortnite. It’s too bright vibrant, and colorful for it to be a realistic skating game it needs to be more dirty, grungy, and grimy. Have you ever been to a major city? It doesn’t look like that. also, the soundtrack is extremely cringe and it sounds like it was made by AI generated bands. I can’t tell you a single song on here that I know. Thank God this game is free unfortunately it’s full of micro transactions but that’s like the standard for EA so you shouldn’t be surprised.UPHILL BATTLE SEASONAL CHALLENGE- SKATE 4
This challenge will not finish . I did everything I was supposed to do multiple times and the bus doesn’t register any grind that I do on it . I am sick and tired of anticipating a decent challenge just for skaters to be forced to used quick drop or abandon the challenge completely altogether.
My top frustrations/complaints/suggestions for skate.
idk if any dev is actually going to bother reading all this, but if so then thanks and sorry for it being so much. I tried to order each list from most to least important for each category (in my opinion, of course) (EDIT: Added categories and moved everything I listed later in the comments up to Dec. 11th into the OP instead) I'm going to first start with my #1 complaint that I didn't know which category to put it under, so instead I'll just leave it under no category at the top: The game is online-only and there's no way to play offline or preferably host a P2P/LAN server. I don't like spending money on online-only games knowing that inevitably one day they'll be shut down. Please plan for the future and make sure all the work you guys have put into this game will be preserved. Visuals: Because the game uses Lumen lighting, a lot of the dynamic lighting is very splotchy and looks poor. Even more annoying is the ghosting around any moving object/character when Lumen lighting is behind said object/character. A great example of this is if you go to the stage in Hedgemont where all the TV screens are and run around against those screens, you'll immediately see major ghosting all around your character. It'd be a nice detail if the bottom of our skateboards got scratched up when used enough, like in other games such as Session. I think even a few of the THPS' had this. Also include an option to reset the board damage, or disable the feature entirely since I'm sure some people out there will complain otherwise. I'd like to see more of the lighter bail animations where you don't completely fall to the ground but instead stumble off your board and barely regain composure. There were a lot of really good ones in skate 3, while so far I think there's only two or maybe three in the new game? Audio/Music Player: Disabling the "Vee's comments" audio setting doesn't affect her repetitive dialogue at the start/end of every challenge. Please Vee, I know what a "pig challenge" is already! The only current workaround is to turn VO volume all the way to zero, but then I can't hear my own character, nor Shingo, Slappy, and Lizzy, who I like the voices of. Please let us disable how the music player automatically starts playing a song every time you begin a challenge. I like the in-world music, I don't want to get blasted by a song for 45 seconds until the challenge ends and it cuts off. Currently I have to open up the music player and pause it every time I start a challenge, which sucks. I'd like a way to block/dislike songs so they stop playing in the open world and during challenges. Alternatively only play songs that I've favorited. There are certain songs I hate hearing so much, please! Could we get a "skip" button on the music player to skip forward to the next song? Settings: There's no gameplay assist setting to disable/tone down the vert magnitization. I'll often be trying to grind a rail or just ollie over something but instead magnetize to some far away ramp and my whole character goes sideways. Please add DLAA. This would also help with the Lumen ghosting issue I mentioned under Visuals. Please add a graphic setting to disable the chromatic aberration effect. The "low camera" setting isn't quite accurate to the original skate's low camera view. I want it to be a bit lower and closer to the board. Please either replicate that camera view from the original, or just let me manually adjust the camera position and angle in settings? UI: The map could really use some icon filters so we can hide/view specific mission types, or hide them all so we can just see fast travel locations and other players. Please let me hide the "2/4 players in party" HUD element that's always on the right side of my screen. It's very unnecessary imo, why would I need to constantly see that? It's one of the only HUD elements I currently can't remove, and I want as little HUD as possible in skate. When a party member is in the pause menu or using the replay feature their little triangle icon above them should change to either a paused icon or camcorder to represent either of those, that way you know they're busy and don't try to start a challenge while they're in there (which annoyingly just starts it by yourself). I can understand why the social menu was moved to its own tab with the S2 update, but it feels weird that its the only tab that uses RT/LT to navigate. I think the social menu being under the main home menu tab previously was perfectly fine, and easier to access. Object Dropper: The object dropper only allowing a measly FIVE objects is so limiting, you can't do much with that. Please increase it quite a bit so we can create cool stuff! Please let us save the objects we've placed so they load back into the map the next time we launch the game. This would be so cool with a drastically increased limit as well. I'd love to build cool skate spots and shortcuts all over the whole map. Before Season 2 we could remove objects holding others up and it'd let them float. This was necessary for some builds because of the limit of only 5 objects. After the S2 update if you delete the object that's holding something up, the entire thing just disappears instantly with no way to revert. Please either let objects float once more, or, better yet, just increase the object dropper limit! Then I can afford to leave objects holding others up for "structural support." Controls/Tricks: Bailing is so finicky in this game, it feels like the detection for it is a bit broken. I very often get thrown off a grind for seemingly no reason. Bring back grind grabs (grabbing the board while in a grind). Similarly, bring back the ability to grab the board while powersliding! Currently 360 hardflips and inward flips are the only ones we can't hold. Are those planned to be added in the future? Does the setting to enable sideways ollies not currently work? My friend and I can't figure out how you're supposed to do them once you've enabled it. I expected them to work the same way directional pops do in Session (example of that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-e1e0bdugg). Map/World: Add some interiors! The lack of any indoor locations (except the S2 tunnel) is disappointing. For example, I'd absolutely love if there was an indoor mall to skate around. I hope suburban areas are planned for a future map expansion. Those have always been my favorite areas in the series, the first game especially had a phenomenal suburban area with plenty of nice spots to find all around the neighborhoods and alleyways. Missions: When doing a line challenge if you complete an attempt but only finish half of the goals it'll cross them out even though you need to do the whole thing in one attempt. After it crosses a goal out you can no longer tell your current progress on that goal in your next attempt. Already completed goals should still count toward daily/weekly/seasonal tasks so we can replay completed missions instead of having to rely entirely on the daily rotations that get old very fast. There are so many missions that should be getting reused for the daily challenge rotations to add more variety. Currently there's only two days' worth of daily challenges that switch in and out. Add all those other missions that were one-and-done to it, I'd love to have a reason to replay them and earn XP/Rip Chips/Tix! I'd like to see more missions that actually require using the Object Dropper. Currently there's very, very few (less than 5 maybe?) that do, and they're very basic like, "place one ramp in this exact spot and you're done." I want some open-ended missions that are almost like puzzles, "find the right pieces to make it across this gap," that kind of thing. I really like the new Own the Lot challenges, I love how many different objectives you've made for each area and that they're randomly chosen for replayability (not that there's a reason to replay them once you earn the Tix...), but the balance for solo or two players needs looked at. It is extremely difficult to reach the highest reward with two players, and practically impossible if you're solo. I don't think you should be forcing people to play in full parties just to be able to complete them. Please either have it dynamically adjust the amount of time given based on number of players, or just bump up the time gained when completing goals a bit? Progression: The grind for Rip Chips and Tix is miserable ever since they were nerfed in Season 1. It's so slow! It took me just under 85 hours to reach level 10 across the current three districts, and I still need a ridiculous amount of Rip Chips to buy all the boxes. Please, fans are more likely to return to the game and buy the battle passes when they're easier to finish, not harder and grindier! I wish battle passes were permanent. Please look at games like Helldivers 2 for how much better a consumer-friendly permanent battle pass system can be. It leads to more sales in the long term than FOMO does! Multiplayer/Social: Get rid of the mission countdown timer entirely as it currently functions in co-op. As the host I would much rather choose a mission, then it shows up for other party members and requires them to hold a button to accept/vote to start it. That way it only starts when everyone is ready, rather than the current 10 second timer before yanking everyone away from what they were doing. There's no text chat! This is so disappointing for an MMO-like game with a big focus on the social aspect. Text chat would let me meet up with randoms, skate some lines, chat with them, etc. without needing to form a party and use voice chat. Emotes: It is baffling to me that emotes can't be heard by others. You just silently, awkwardly dance on everyone else's end. Please add it so everyone can hear each others' emotes, or at the very least other party members! Add a customizable emote wheel, rather than the current system of only having four emote slots that use LB + one of the four directions on the D-Pad. It's very limited and there's a TON of emotes I want to be able to use more often! Please gimme more than 4 emote slots! Quite a few emotes can't be done while you're on your board. I really love the ones that let you do that, can we get that for all of them? For example, the Running Man and Moonwalk emotes would be hilarious while on your board. Currently when doing emotes it'll mute the music whether it be from your music player or the open world, I'd rather it not do that, at least the open world music, and play them both at the same time. Cosmetics/Customization/Store: Clothes are way, way too baggy and massive, especially shirts. It makes my character look like they gained 100 pounds! I really hope you'll either revert the new Season 2 face complexions, or let us adjust them back to how they used to look. My character looks much worse now, the shading around the eyes and nose is so much darker than before! We should be able to freely place stickers on our board, including resizing them, rather than the current 3-sticker system that's very limited. Let us buy things from store bundles individually! The incentive to buying a bundle instead should be that the combined price is discounted while individual items aren't, just like how Fortnite or other successful live service games do it. I guarantee there's a lot of people out there who have zero interest in spending $20+ on a bundle but would drop a few bucks here and there for one or two items out of the bundles. This is really low on the scale of importance (hence me putting it near the bottom), but I'm not a fan of how every costume so far either looks like it was made of paper mache or cardboard. I was really hopeful that Isaac Clarke would return to this game, he was my favorite character to use in skate 3! I kept asking if he'd return on skate's social media leading up to release lol. I was very disappointed that what we instead got was an unappealing cardboard box costume version of him. I would gladly have given you guys some money if you had just ported over the skate 3 model (aka the OG Dead Space model). Could we get the original green "Yeah Right!" deck? I saw the new 20th anniversary version was in the store a few weeks back, but the OG is a classic.Trying to buy items from product boxes while on Grom
While on the Isle of Grom, there’s additional product boxes available for Hedgemont, Gullcrest, and Market Mile in the store. These new boxes aren’t labeled with a level number and are not visible while on the San Van map. The issue is when trying to open a box, (or 5) a message states “Insufficient Funds” despite having plenty of rip chips available. Has anyone noticed this? Is there a workaround to open the boxes? I’m liking the new items but can’t figure out how to get them.Glitchy, Buggy, can hardly play.
Just loaded in to do the new Nike SB stuff at isle of grom and it feels like I can't get any speed, can't get any height on my jumps, just randomly makes me crash or fall off my board. I'm not hitting stuff or running into anything just randomly throws me off my board or to the ground. Not the first time I had this and has gotten better with past patches, but now it's just horrible. Can't even play. They won't be getting anymore play time with me. EA is notorious for being buggy and glitchy anyway. And they're only about microtransactions anyway. So what's the point. I'll just go to session or something. Horrible company, horrible game. Be better EA.

Vee Coach Frankevents that seem to be missing from the Grom Plaza storage park
The saint Paddy's day even should be added, I think that would be a cute behind the scenes addition. Also, maybe this nike event after it ends? If that counts, why not the dime and glory challenge during the 3 week insider early access. The guillotine from dime and glory challenge would be sick as an Easter egg. Or reskin the bus that you make us grind in "not In Service" mission.Test run
Before dropping and update with new challenges do y’all make sure the challenge is doable because it seems as if you guys throw anything out there with out any care. The update was a great idea but challenges with the Nike sb update some just don’t make any sense I get all the way up the end of the challenge doing what is asked and it doesn’t even work like come on bro is it that hard to make sure challenges actually work and make sense and is doable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!White socks!!!
I want to give feedback about the lack of basic clothing options in Skate. Right now, there are little to no plain short white socks available in the game. Most of the socks are either knee-high, have logos, or are locked behind limited-time rotations. This makes it hard to create simple, realistic outfits. Plain short white socks are a very common item in real-life skate style, so it feels strange that they aren’t consistently available. Customization is a big part of skating culture, and having basic essentials like this permanently available would improve the experience a lot. Please consider adding plain short white socks as a permanent item in the shop or starting inventory, instead of making them rare or time-limited. Thanks for your time.
Getting no progression towards districts levels
After the Season 3 update, I've encountered this weird bug all my district levels now say zero/zero and any challenge I complete I don't make any progress towards levelling up. This could be an error with the progression table for my profile (server side) failed to load after the update. another thing, the district loot boxes are also locked even the ones I have unlocked through levelling up, too. I play on PC (Steam).Music settings are horrible
It’s really annoying that random songs start playing when you select “my favorites” and it’s becoming one of the most infuriating parts of this game At least make it a setting or add a dislike button bc so many of these songs are cheeks Also, a “skip” button would be huge too
Shop Glitch
The past 3 times that I’ve gone to purchase San Va bucks, there has been a glitch that automatically charges me for the next tier up. When I select the $25 pack, the next screen will show that I’m purchasing the $50 pack. The first 2 times I didn’t notice it, but this 3rd time I was ready for it, and to be fair it seems extremely sketchy to me. I had to cancel the transaction and re-click the $25 pack a bunch of times in order for it to show the right amount on the process confirmation screen. It happens via the EA launcher on PC. I doubt that anyone who develops or works on the coding for these specific menus will see this, and I know that there no chance of me getting my money back, but people need to be aware of it. When it comes to money, these glitches are NOT okay. Please be careful, you guys. Make sure that the amount being charged is the one that you selected.Add a Suburb and Pools
I want more pools in the game, like imagine if there was just like a giant abandoned water park or something that had a whole bunch of pools and slides and stuff to go down. And a suburb area would’ve cool, like skate 3 and it can have pools and stuff in the backyard for good skate spots
