no one likes how the game looks.

You're not asking for representation though, get off your high horse. You're just saying the game is bad because it's so catered towards women. That the game is bad because the characters all look androgynous. That the game is bad because it has too many rainbows. Even though literally NONE of that is true.

You may feel like there aren't enough options for men, and that's fine. But that's not what you've been saying. And your criticisms are not based in reality. You haven't asked for more options that appeal to you in a way that wasn't just throwing other people under the bus as revenge for some imagined agenda.

The game is already focused on skating. There's too much of an emphasis on non-skating things, such as the cash shop, I agree. But replacing facial features and clothing that are "too androgynous" with manly man options will not make the game more skating focused. If anything, you're asking them to make the game more Sims-like by increasing their work on the artstyle and character customization.

it feels like they are pushing for a more women/children audience when if they made something skaters wanted they would at least break 10k players daily.

If you really think that a marginally cartoony artstyle in a game that's already rated T is intended to appeal to children, that's your problem. If you really think that a game where over 2/3 of the clothing options available are "for men", is targeting women, that's again your own problem. Plus this statement also implies that women and children aren't skaters. Something which your previous posts also imply. So why don't you tell me, who's the one here who's actually arguing against representation?

if you believe asking for equal representation in the game is an issue. then you are a problem. 

simple as that. 

sorry i want people not to feel like they are playing sims xtreme skateboarder expansion and want them to feel like the previous games in the series.

i  loved the series because they incorporated everyone because they skated.
made women main characters. we all loved sammy. 

at the end of the day im asking for them to make something focused on skating and doesnt feel agenda based because the game feels that way. 

it feels like they are pushing for a more women/children audience when if they made something skaters wanted they would at least break 10k players daily. 

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. 

Art style doesn't bother me.  I think it'd be better if the devs spent more time fixing bugs, adding features, and working on new areas to skate rather than waste their time tinkering with the art style to appease crybabies who will never be satisfied anyway.

Your opinion is based on nothing but flat out incorrect information.

if you think im counting shoes period. im not.

I didn't include shoes in my count. Nor socks, nor accessories. Literally just the categories as the game lists them: tops, bottoms and outfits. 

you notice how the only graphic tee unlock is a crop top?

Incorrect, excluding all the starting clothing, I've got 7 standard, full-length t-shirts with graphic designs. As well as 1 sleeveless shirt, and 7 sweatshirts. Only 1 single crop top.

you notice how theres 10 full rainbow items you gotta unlock?

Incorrect, there are only 3 that you can unlock. You aren't forced to. A tank top, a pair of shoes and a pair of socks. And that's an exceptionally weird thing for a "non-edgy" bi man to complain about.

that every pair of socks is thigh high?

Honestly at this point I don't think you even have eyes. These are the tallest socks in the game right now, they aren't even over-the-knee. And do you really think only girls wear knee-high socks?

meanwhile on the more feminine end "hey yo you want graphic crop tops? skirts for days? we got you dock martins with glitter laces in the battlepass for free just for you. we added k-pop dances with pink pants the whole nine sister the skate world is yours take it; its yours"

If you're not going to count reskins of shirts/sweatshirts as separate items, then you can't count reskins of skirts when it's in your favor. There's literally one style of skirt just with different colors. Also, the laces on the "Doc Martens" are not glittery. And as for the rest of that list, if you think that's exclusively feminine, that's on you and your shallow masculinity, buddy.

im not even trying to be "edgy" its a opinion based on what ive seen provided.

You are explicitly trying to be edgy if you're an adult complaining about rainbows. And as I've already pointed out, you're not basing your opinion on the actual truth. Not a single thing you said was accurate.

Notice how NONE of your complaints now have anything at all to do with the characters' faces looking androgynous or "kind of asian". You're free to not like the artstyle. But you aren't even complaining about that anymore. I've shown you evidence that, to any reasonable person, dismantles your initial claims. And now you're just complaining that you think the game was made to pander to women. There are so many things wrong with the game. The artstyle, as Akelaphobia mentioned, would be a monumental undertaking to change at this point, just to win back who knows how many people actually quit playing the game because their feelings were hurt by stylized character designs. So why don't you focus your energy on the things actually worth getting mad at EA over? The things that are more worth the developers' time addressing: the microtransactions, the lack of features, the bugs. Literally anything that isn't culture warrior drivel, which won't improve the quality of the game by any measure.

you are gunna say to me with a straight face 90% of the daily players that are gone are just not playing at the same times and THATS why the numbers low? 

Uh, yes? Duh? This happens with every single game, especially live service ones. People usually no-life a game for the first few weeks, dumping tons of hours into it. As time goes on they slow down, most people only play an hour or two a day now, mostly to get dailies done and quit.

Are you playing this game as much as you were the first few weeks of release? I can almost guarantee you're not. Even though I'm enjoying the game I'm definitely not playing it as much as I was around launch. And a big reason for that is the same reason why some people did stop playing the game entirely: because of repetition. There's only so many missions to do before all you're left with is the repetitive daily missions.

That is the main reason people have quit the game. No one is quitting a game because of an artstyle, do you hear yourself, have you really thought about that statement? You seriously think people who enjoyed playing the game but didn't like the artstyle quit because of that?

as a low cut for the most part to give them some hope instead of getting the exact number. but yeah you right ill be real specific going forward.

Ah yeah dude, you were doing it to give the devs some hope. The devs that can see the exact number of players logging in every day across all four platforms this game is on, vs. you, who's basing all of this off the consecutive daily peak for only one of those four.

And if you're going to try using statistics to back up your opinion then yes, use the actual exact number, don't round up or down, otherwise that statistic is inaccurate and worthless.

also peak daily player base 100% means the highest amount seen that day. 

At one given time. That isn't the total players that all logged in today. Because timezones exist, people outside of your little world exist.

youre right it did take them 2 seasons to add the impossible ill give them that. all of the handplants added are from skate 3 and should've been in the game on launch. i also understand that people dont always play at the same time. but thats beyond cope im sorry. you are gunna say to me with a straight face 90% of the daily players that are gone are just not playing at the same times and THATS why the numbers low? cmon thats beyond a stretch. consecutive  players means players on the game as we speak. yeah and its average is 90% down. 60% a month since launch. 

if you knew how to read a statistics youd know that if what you were saying was true there would be massive upticks on the weekends. ya know when usually people are at home. that falls with in a consistency with daily statistics of other games. why not this one? probably because youre wrong and there isnt a player base coming back. 

id have the xbox and playstation statistics but they dont make those public. shocker right?  n you can just say im right cause ive been using 90% as a low cut for the most part to give them some hope instead of getting the exact number. but yeah you right ill be real specific going forward. 95.45% lost player base lmaooo you right thats better sorry lmaooo.

also peak daily player base 100% means the highest amount seen that day. 

the reason i have my opinion is look at those items. 

if you think im counting recolors of blank t-shirts. im not 
if you think im counting shoes period. im not.
because i think its beyond lazy that recolors even exist in the game as something to unlock. 

you notice how the only graphic tee unlock is a crop top? you notice how theres 10 full rainbow items you gotta unlock? that every pair of socks is thigh high? 

im not even trying to be "edgy" its a opinion based on what ive seen provided.

for men the unlocks are "hey we got like a grey v neck. you dont like that? grey round sweatshirt with no logo? dam. how about blue hoodie no logo? you dont like getting 3 of the same pair of black pants? ugh youre picky; oh you wanted skater branded shoes? thatll be 6-8$ sorry fam you are asking too much"

meanwhile on the more feminine end "hey yo you want graphic crop tops? skirts for days? we got you dock martins with glitter laces in the battlepass for free just for you. we added k-pop dances with pink pants the whole nine sister the skate world is yours take it; its yours" 


its almost like they are trying to appease to a female not even skater audience. wouldnt you think?

and why im still playing? because EA has said since day one that the voice of the community matters. if i dont test out the game how will i have any opinion to give for any kind of hope to change the direction of the game. 

but yeah you right honestly i should be like the other 98% of players and just leave and not come back trueeeeee

Ah look someone who learned about Steam Charts but doesn't understand what consecutive players means. That's not 6,730 players total today, it's showing the peaks of when the game has the most players all in-game at once, you know not everyone plays at the same time each day, yeah? The game has had more than 135k players total.

Also, this is gonna blow your mind, but the game isn't just on Steam.

or putting more effort into the physics/ actual new tricks?

You mean like.. exactly what they did a ton of with Season 2?

Oh btw: 6,141 is 4.55% of 134,901. Which, going by your inaccurate reading of the chart, would be a 95.45% drop, not 98%. If you're gonna pull out statistics and then double-down on them, at least get the number right.

skirts* sorry not tu-tus you right.
that statistic isnt pulled out of my ahh. lemme grab the numbers right quick.

lost 98% of the player base since launch sorry G my bad. 

i wish i was able to get the numbers for players going back to skate 3 but those are archived. i thoroughly believe that this game has no player base because when people opened it up and saw how it looked. they were disappointed like i was. then proceeded to be disappointed by the corny events/no consistent updates to physics.
youd think if they went for a style thats easier to model that they would focus on making more options for looks of the rip? or putting more effort into the physics/ actual new tricks? but instead its getting the bare minimum in every single way except for microtransactions before launch. ya know the number 1 thing people want in an unreleased game. right?
