Theres nothing to do?
Why keep asking for feedback when you’ve listened to nothing that literally EVERY player has been begging for for years? You can’t even progress at your own pace, you finish all the boring easy challenges and have to wait for them to refresh the next day! Into the same soulless boring challenges on repeat! No story mode, fine. Didn’t listen to what anyone wanted and gave us an AI bot instead of pros, fine. But where are the game modes? Where is hall of meat? Where is skate? Where are death races? Where are any of the online MODES? Where is the mega park at lesst? Also regarding customisation why can’t we even get jewellery, tattoos, decide how to wear hats & hoods etc. everything we had on old skate games. The actual gameplay and physics is great but EVERYTHING IS MISSING!! Sorry but we waited 15 years for this game, this feels unacceptable.
CONSOLE PLAYTEST RESOLVED
Hey everyone, if you're wondering where your console code is: They'll be sent out in batches, this will be to avoid the EA email address getting barred from inboxes. They could be having a few technical issues. There could be issues with the PS Store/Xbox Store. Give it time. I've done play tests for many developers and the roll out can take 2-6 hours. There's no point in getting angry, it's not like someone punched your nan ok? Chill bois.
Don't flag DS4Windows as cheat software and not support Playstation controllers
Kinda hard to test your game with a controller if half of the controllers don't function without banned 3rd party software. The only way to play most EA games with a playstation controller on PC is using DS4Windows. Either implement native DS4/5 support or remove this software from your anti cheat flags. Fairly frustrating, especially for a controller oriented game."Get on-board!" Shut up!
This message drives me crazy whenever I'm doing a challenge. I bailed, OBVIOUSLY I have to get back on my board. We don't need this message AT ALL, especially not after EVERY BAIL, and we certainly don't need it to linger for 10 freaking seconds while doing our next attempt. Annoys me so much, I had to make this post.
my feelings about skate.
This game was nowhere near ready for the public. It’s getting cooked everywhere on social media, and honestly, a lot of the criticism is valid. I’ve been losing more and more interest myself. These days I mostly just log in to check the shop and then end up standing around AFK, wondering why I even bothered. The biggest issue is that there’s just nothing to do. The map is technically full of challenges, but they’re repetitive, the rewards feel meaningless, and in multiplayer there’s no real sense of battling — you just finish your line and carry whoever can’t. After level 10, there’s almost no reason to bother with them anymore. I know leaderboards are coming, but it’s drip-fed content and that doesn’t solve the bigger problem. The world feels empty in places it shouldn’t. There are huge open, unused areas like the top of the Stadium or Hedgemont’s Hartcore Plaza. According to the lore, this city was built by skaters — but so much of it doesn’t feel alive or skateable. Then there are spots like the Walk of Fame-inspired street, where there’s one challenge and nothing else. Even worse, the spot isn’t all that appealing to skate. On the flip side, some areas are way too obvious, practically yelling “Skate me!” when the joy of skating is in figuring out how to ride things that weren’t meant to be skated. Lighting is another issue. Certain parts of the map, especially in Market Mile, are just too dark and never see sunlight. Then there’s the ImpervaTEK Community Parks — visually unappealing, awkward layouts, and they rotate daily, which makes it hard to really connect with them. The Dime park works much better, mostly because it stays consistent and lets you find new ways to skate it over time. The shop feels completely off. Clothing often looks nearly identical but is priced differently just because of a brand logo. Items like the Grim Reaper bundle at ~25€ are beyond ridiculous. On top of that, the characters themselves look too similar and, honestly, kind of ugly. The soundtrack is another mixed bag. As someone who’s a fan of some of the artists, it’s frustrating when the chosen songs don’t fit the vibe. Mood Swings by Little Simz or HIT THE FLOOR by Denzel Curry might be okay, but they’re far from the best skating tracks those artists could’ve offered. Out of the whole soundtrack, I can genuinely say I only like about four songs. Throwdowns don’t really work either. The areas are too small or oddly proportioned, with circles that cut off ramps and force me to drop in extra ramps just to make it skateable. And quick-drop ramps themselves are ugly when disabled — the blur is so striking it makes recorded clips unusable. Speaking of clips, recordings often get ruined by random players resetting mid-line, breaking the flow and any sense of realism. And yet… the core gameplay is still fun. Skating itself feels smooth, rewarding, and at its best, it reminds me why I play. There are a few spots I always come back to, even if the map feels too small overall, because those areas let me rediscover why I enjoy the game. Challenges can also be fun, especially when shared with other players. Multiplayer, when people aren’t being disruptive, can actually create a nice sense of community. The evolving world elements show promise too — if they’re expanded, they could add real life to the city. The soundtrack, for all its flaws, does have some tracks that fit perfectly, and when they hit, the skating vibe is there. The Dime park is proof of how good things can look and play when the layout and aesthetics click. Even customization, limited as it is, at least gives players a way to express some personal style. What this game needs now are solutions, and I brought some. Options to play challenges in versus mode. Throwdowns should be reworked — give us paintable areas or let us choose pre-painted spots nearby instead of dropping random circles that break the flow. The soundtrack could be so much stronger if the devs actually listened to players. We’re the ones who hear these songs every session — why not gather insights on favorites, or even take suggestions? Every skater has at least one track they instantly connect with skating. As for the shop, reset it. Refund players, remove the Vans jeans — that are just free pants with a tiny Vans label on it — and start fresh. And finally, give us real milestones. Not just “rip score” for cosmetic unlocks, that doesn’t even make sense — I’m talking actual achievements like completing 50 challenges or landing a 50m grind. This game still has something at its core — the skating feels right. But everything wrapped around it feels unfinished, shallow, or careless. That’s why people are frustrated. It could be great, but right now, it isn’t there.for the DEV's
im gunna make a compiled list of the good and bad things as a person that has played the skate series since i was a child. goods: building is actually cool just wish i had a private park so i could make something for the community to try like skate 3, flick it system doesnt feel bad updated and i like that i can climb most things when that wasnt an option before hand; matter of fact i feel like the parkour is really cool but it takes away from this being ya know a SKATE GAME. my bois at the park after a couple tricks in a bowl irl arent just doing gainers over stuff idk its odd. thats it for the goods unfortunately. bads: no fingerflips,darkslides eliminating pages of tricks that have existed since the first game. you cant advertise how this NEW version of the game has a bunch of new options for tricks and not even have the full catalog of original tricks. most of the tricks just look like im jumping off the board (doesnt feel like you guys have sat down and watched how feet and legs go off a board to do a trick just how the board is supposed to flip.), no one wants a loot box based progression system even if its free,not being able to break bones is lame and childish, the ai model voice over is annoying and unnecessary cause of izzy, izzy is an annoying hipster that chirps in your ear every 2 seconds to say "FoOtY" even though getting footage means nothing in this game/the replay system is 100% worse than skate 3 and even skate 2. the visual representation youve provided this game is for mall skaters aka people who like skater fashion but dont really skate aka someone who wears a thrasher hoodie and vans but cant ride a board. the visual style of the game is horrible idk who thought that the sims and the skate series has a fanbase that intersects at all but they need to be straight up fired. no pro skater missions/what missions exist dont feel like old missions from the older games they feel like tony hawk missions hands down (doesnt feel like you guys have played through any of the skate games imo just watched slide shows or something), you keep saying this is a community based game but the community has been pointing out a lot of these issues for YEARS, no skate brands in said loot boxes just generic stuff that wouldve been given to the player starting the game instead of starting them out as a homeless person. you made meat man a 25$ pack when you would get him for BEATING HALL OF MEAT AS A REWARD EVERYGAME? theres no broken bones. the only real skate brand i saw chocolate? ANOTHER 25$ pack. wtf man. i only saw girl wheels and even those cost real money. this is a disgusting practice. what you should have done is provided the community with REAL skate brands and make your generic stuff buyable if we wanted too like the grim reaper set up. gives you guys incentive to actually create for the community instead of just take from the culture. only character body modification is for **bleep** and butt,only like 5-6 guy hairstyles and 2 pages of girls hair styles (im a dude with long hair and i dont feel represented), every face is androgynous when SKATE GAMES ALWAYS HAD WOMEN let alone representation. if you wanted to represent women skaters you couldve LICENSED WOMEN PROS TO BE IN YOUR GAME MAKE TEAMS WITH THEM ALONG WITH THE MEN ITS NOT THAT HARD THAT WOULDVE BEEN AMAZING ACTUALLY AND IM A DUDE SAYING THAT. not by washing the game down into a game where you dont know if you are a he she or them thus giving the game no representation for every day regular people when the skate series was an in the life of a every day skater. as a man that waited 15 years to play this game; i could only stomach 10 hours of play time before re downloading skate 2. your team doesnt know what skaters want edit:ive put more time in to find more that youve missed. cant grab your board while grinding. which was a feature since skate 2. i figured id be able to finger flip off of rails in this game for how much ads were done for how many new tricks were being added to the game. it feels like you guys spent so much time making a parkour game that yall forgot this is a SKATE game. edit on top of edit: no comply's dont inheritly do shovits irl. its just a push to ollie. another example of your team only knowing skateboarding from videos and not having any real skaters consulting your team edit on top of edit on top of edit my god guys: no underflips. removing again pages of tricks. yall really didnt play the last games and with how everything is set up im 100% expecting these tricks to be added in a 40$ throwback trick pack or some bs because of how predatory the rest of the game is with micro transactions and theres a dickies hoodies for free before anything a real skater would wear. this is gross. i wouldve paid 60$ for a GOOD skate game and more for dlc. i paid for every dlc in every skate game previous. this game straight up ruins the legacy and tries to take money from people over pixels.
More hairstyles and hair color!!! PLEASEE
We really need more options and variety of hairstyles, especially color as well. I was hoping to see some liberty spikes or Mohawks or just more of a variety. I, myself, got spikes and was tryna see if I can put some on my character but nah not any. Even for others, everyone has different hairstyles and all skaters come in different shapes and sizes and appearance. We need more options and not just stuck on basic normal options.They're pushing the game into an early grave
I was somewhat of accepting of the corporate greed, until now. Lowering the currency rewards on the daily missions to pretty much nothing... along with the event currency only reseting weekly. The urge to hop on daily does't exist anymore. These issues wouldn't be too bad if the game had anything else to it.. but it doesn't. The map is boring and lacks character. It's also very very small. A few days of hitting the daily challenges and you've experienced the full map... but until now, i was happy doing the daily challenges because it rewarded a decent amount of currency. All rewards come from currency... why not have a challenge system with 150+ challenges that all reward a decent cosmetic? Pretty unique challenges such as "skate into 15 pedestrians wearing red shirts" or "skate 15 different blue rails across the map" But the next challenge doesn't unlock until you've completed another. Similar to the RDR2 challenge system. Or collectibles that reset weekly/monthly. This would give an incentive to actually skate the entire map outside of challenges. Repeatedly too, not just 1 time around. "Collect 100 bearings hidden around the map to unlock exclusive VANS skater pack" for example. I understand that paywalls = income. Simply charge for the game and people will still buy it. And you'd still make money! I understand that fornite set a precedent for microtransactions being successful. It works for a pvp game where the experience is in the online experience and every 30 minutes the game resets and is just as fun. But this doesn't work for a freeroam sport themed game. On top of these ideas, a paid £5 dlc that unlocks some cool boards or cosmetics is something i'd still happily go for. As for right now, I see how unhappy the player base is and that this game will soon be taken offline and be unplayable. This is the sole reason that outside of the founders pack I refuse to spend money for cosmetics I like, because the game is ONLINE only at some point in the near future all my hard-earnt and spent money will result in nothing. Which is assume is the mindset of other players too.Playtest Details
I’m getting a bit annoyed about people on this forum complaining about not being able to access the playtest. The playtest will be available at 2:00 PST (pacific standard time) The system they have implemented may be bad for tracking local times, which is likely the cause of confusion, but some of the posts here are way too critical on EA, and you guys should be glad you are even allowed to play the game early. Thank you EA! And I look forward to testing soon.
My last feedback since you don't listen to the community
To preface this I must say that before Season 1 I was still keeping my hopes up. I understand how the market works, and that F2P games with less demanding graphics is the way to go to keep a game running. I was fine with it! However, it has been made blatantly clear that what was once a passion project has just become a cash grab. The mechanics that you developed during the alphas and betas is great, the game runs really well and I love how the skating feels. But Skate used to be more about the culture - the music, the pros, the brands. But with the release of Season 1, this has completely changed. I wasn't going to buy the Skate Pass anyway, but seeing the stuff in there is quite upsetting. What are these emotes? The cosmetics? It's all terrible. Have you actually gotten feedback from people within the skate community? Skating is a lot about getting sponsors, building a brand etc. This is just... empty. The lingo in the missions is nothing but made up corporate "how do you do, fellow kids?". Music is nothing like it's supposed to; who greenlit songs like "Chores"? We are still stuck with the terrible gamemode that is Jams, while the good ones like Spot Battle, S.K.A.T.E. and death races are nowhere mentioned. Since you're not even responding to the actually constructive feedback, I'll stop trying. I'll stop playing. But it won't matter as people will keep playing and buying the microtransactions and I'll just have to watch my favourite franchise die with this game. Thanks for (well, not) listening to my last rant.
