Skate is now trash

Where do I begin I've been playing skate since the first one early 2000s I played skate 2 and skate 3 for many years and this new skate game is the worst. Anytime I want to grind on anything it's almost impossible not because I'm uncoordinated but because they have taken the physics and made them all sloppy. grinding and ledge jumping is broken. There's no story to the game. There are a few tricks that have been left out of the game. No rewind feature. Barebones wannabe Gen z skateboard game. I officially hate EA. Your games are garbage. But nonetheless let's get to with this game does have. The physics that they do have are fantastic. Landing looks amazing. When you do get to grind it looks realistic. When you do get to happen a ledge and manual into another trick it feels fluid especially with the revised landing physics that they have. There's community. You can actually skate with your friends and have fun. New mechanics. New clothes. Pros and cons. Con's when you skate around and you do grinds you're bored does not look torn up at all The trucks the wheels the grip tape the bottom of the board nothing changes. Pros I can think of nothing but being able to play with your friends and it's FREE TO PLAY that fact that you can download and play the new skate game for free is great And it's early access. If they actually start charging money for this game down the line and it's the same as it is now The skate brand will forever be shamed.

  • No back flips or front flips in this game. It isn't just street skating vertical skating is no better. I feel like they oversimplified the controls for "new" players. I have played skate for years, my specialty is vert skating. I hardly ever practice street. I noticed how in this game street skating is easy all of a sudden, but when I tried vertical skating I was struggling because they completely changed the mechanics. They need to keep the mechanics, we don't need watered down mechanics. The game is fun because of its realistic mechanics make it more challenging. Anyways, time to boot skate 3 back up....
