All current Skate 3 problems/complaints

The EA Skate franchise was a huge part of my childhood and i consider it one of the best trilogies of all time. Although in recent years, due to studio shutdowns and EA not really caring about it after Black Box went down, here is a list of current problems with Skate 3:

- Glitches, many, many glitches. Speed glitches, clipping glitches, graphics glitches, this game had alot of it when you tried to glitch it.

- Unreliable servers. Even when it launched it was a hit and miss whether you could join EA Nation or not. In April of 2013, when Black Box shutdown, the skate.ea.com website shutdown with it. That meant that all community features went down, including skate.graphics and skate.team, the most beloved features ingame. The site hasnt been up since and skate.teams only partially work. When the community servers went down in 2016(?) and came back in june 2018, all teams were deleted and reset. However, you could create teams. Some people did. After a month of that, it stopped working again. And you havent been able to create teams since. The teams list and team finder work, just not the create a team. I have so many friends wanting to create a gigantic team, but i cant. I also cant reach a platinum trophy in this game, since one of the achievements rely on this function. If you even were to bring the skate.ea.com site backup, people would probably freak the hell out and start playing again. I appreciate that most of the community functions still work, but if you guys were to make the last step and make every aspect promised at launch still available, heck you might not even have to make that new title everyone is begging for.

- Unreliable online play. I love the online aspect of Skate 3 and i play it literally everyday with friends. But sometimes something happens that forces me to restart my console. It suddenly says "Waiting for players" and in the corner it says "xxxxxx left" and from there on my console freezes, and i have to restart.

Skate 3 is probably one of the biggest cultural games EVER. Black Box shutdown since EA saw that Skate 3 sold under their expectations. Under a year later the entire internet started playing it and they had to start printing copies again. The entire franchise is truly a cultural breeze. Hope that someone within EA reads this and they will "pass it on to the team". What does that mean.
