Players dropped dramatically, these easy changes could reverse that.
so to start, with very simple character appearance adjustments, like adding more height settings, hair styles, more in depth face customization, and cosmetic adjustments like toggling fit type of shirts and hoodies on/off hats backwards/ forwarss similar to skate 3 I think it would dramatically enhance the immersion the more someone can feel like its really THEM skating and not just the closest version via avatar. (I believe adding these settings would IMPROVE ecommerce through the shop)
secondly, and lastly, just give us Tutorial Island, you already built the entire location, throw a skate shop there and let us teleport or add a fast travel marker on the pier and build a boat. do it fast. please. the game is plentiful in spots but feels geographically landlocked, probably because its literally one island that you are forced to skate in circles on. or, add a SLS DLC with a new park to hit. I play every day and dont want to stop but waiting 2-3 months for changes on a game thats constantly accessible for edits feels tragic.
also i lied, last but not least, build in some type of personalized story? we want to make it as pro skateboarders, its not up for discussion, this is what built the Skate franchise and it feels dismissive and inauthentic to not honor that same format despite the evolution of the title.
praying a Dev reads this, I put alot of thought into this feedback.
