Pumping and transition/vert skating doesn't feel very good.

I played tons and tons of skate back in the day. Let me just say the street skating feels like I remember it. I was able to immediately play like I used to in the other games. Vert, not so much. Pumping feels sooooo inconsistent. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. And even when it does, you lose so much speed going up ramps that if I'm lucky, I might get 2ft above the coping. You just can't get air anymore like you used to. I shouldn't have to quick drop ramps on top of the skate parks ramps just to clear small gaps or get enough height to do any real tricks. And I see so many transitions that would be awesome to do, and would have been doable in Skate 3, only to set myself up, get plenty of speed, pump into the wall and.... nothing. I get maybe half-way. It feels so bad, and it feels wrong. It's so much harder to have fun in transition/vert now. It's harder not in a fun or technical way which I wouldn't mind. It's harder because it is just plain tuned wrong and inconsistent. I can get over all of the other issues in the game, but this one kills half the game for me. I want to enjoy more than just the street skating, but with the current feel around vert, I just can't get into it.
