Push to talk idea (controller) and how to do it

Hi

I was thinking skate should implement push to talk which can toggle on and off your mic with a controller by tapping the left Dpad as i personally don’t see a point in having that a social button when it’s in the pause menu, I’m not sure if I’m the only one but I also forget the social is even on the Dpad, and by having that as a text by holding and a tap to toggle on/off for push to talk would be much nicer since voice chat is in the game now.

What could also be nice if you had an option to switch the text and push to talk actions in settings, so it’ll be hold to talk and once you let go you’re back to muted, and tap for text, the option would always be nice to have.

This makes sense to me as the left Dpad would then be the communication button, I feel social is wasted on the Dpad.

Something to add on the end of this is also having an option in the setting to disable voice ducking, having someone speak with the volume of my game being lowered isn’t a nice experience for some and the option would be very helpful.

    this is supposed to be a social game, we shouldn't be stifled by being forced to use predetermined words on a wheel to communicate with others in the area your at, how about giving us the option to write our own sentences and send it out to the surrounding area were within. and when it comes to party chat, something really does need to be done; perhaps everyone auto connects to party chat in the area their within the game with the option of being able to get into private chat with small groups and individuals.
