heres the thing. i wouldnt mind the art style if it meant what you are asking.
but unfortunately i feel like EA just thinks soft cartoony artstyle= money so they dont have to take time on making idk an actual new mission since launch or adding s.k.a.t.e. to a skate game.
theres no trade off to make it worth. if that makes any sense. usually if you go for a softer style its for optimizations sake. you and i both know the game crashes nonstop.
100% if the launch for early access was all the tricks from the last game day 1 and s.k.a.t.e. and death races and i was just waiting for new locations? yeah itd be annoying cause id want new places still but i wouldnt be here complaining one bit. the reality is they are making so many mistakes that are lazy at this point. this is a dev team funded by EA that in 5 years havent even finished bringing all the original tricks or make grinds not look robotic.
