Bring back game modes, manual speed, pumping, leaderboards, and rotating maps

I’ve been playing ea skate since skate 1. When each of the versions started to die down playerbase wise the remaining players were either playing the skate game mode or spot battle game mode. 

the skate community loves competition. All this new stuff like climbing is cool but it’s all basic stuff, if we want to skate around then we can play skate 1,2 and 3 still. 

we need game modes again at bare minimum skate and spot battle. My friends and I have learned all the tricks over the years and with this new version all our skills are basically useless. 

we can’t even do lines anymore because you guys messed up the manual speed. We learned how to do all the tricks so we can do manual lines and rack up big points by not repeating tricks but now when we try to do manual lines after the third trick we have no speed. We have to remember this is a video game let it be that and let us do as many tricks in a manual as we want without making us slow down especially when we go down hills in manuals .

also we can’t pump when in half pipes or bowls like we used to. We would nose manual then revert and pump to gain speed but there’s no pumping anymore???

spot battle and skate nonetheless need to comeback with leaderboards and rotating maps like the old skate and we should be able to have custom tshirts and boards like in skate 2. 

if you guys can’t get this right like you did the original skate games I’ll be investing in programmers myself to create a better game. 

and this map is too small and the social aspect of it is non existent players just skate past each other there’s no sense of community. Playing game modes like skate and spot battle where you are with the same group competing through rotating maps is what made us play for hours and hours.

    Expression and creativity are the core of both skating and Skate, to which competition comes second. That’s why the original trilogy had a camera man and tasks like shooting magazine covers. Also, I’ve been playing since the first game too and I’ve never much cared for spot battles and the like because they are spam heavy.

    we can’t even do lines anymore because you guys messed up the manual speed.

    Manual speed is physics based, so you naturally lose speed as you try and pop out and land back in. I actually think bearing speed/momentum in this game is too high, as it takes a loooong time for a regular manual to start slowing down - ditto for regular rolling. I never have trouble using them to cheese a line when I have to, though I hate that the game forces you by setting arbitrary score targets. If this was made any easier than it already is, the game would be cooked.

    also we can’t pump when in half pipes or bowls like we used to…there’s no pumping anymore???

    Pumping absolutely exists. The easiest way to do this is to pull the triggers on transition surfaces. You can change it to up on the thumb sticks though if that’s easier for you. Either way, it’s definitely there. You can also tweak the pump settings so the game does it for you if you need the assistance.

    It sounds like you got really good at exploiting the other games, and you’re upset you can’t exploit this game like you used too. It seems as though some developers are actively trying to stop players like you from cheesing the game, and eventually ruining what PvP mode will come to the game with **bleep** line scores based on exploits. 
     
    I could be wrong, but you sound toxic af coming on hear crying about not being able to do what you used to be do in an old version of this game. Let alone expecting anyone to give a **bleep** lol. I’m actually laughing at how pathetic your post is, and I hope they don’t fix manual speed so when they do introduce PvP you can’t cheese a 100k line score on some **bleep**. 


    If you want to play an arcade skateboard game  I heard Activision makes a Tony Hawks smooth brain game just for you bro! Go create your own skateboard game and stop plying skate  I promise nobody will notice  🍻

    Buddy ea hasn't owned skate since skate 1

    What do you mean? This is literally an EA published game which we are talking about on an EA forum.
