Some feedback regarding the representation of skateboarding in the game

Since I was 3 that I've been passionate about skateboarding and seeing where this game is going hurts me more than probably the average gamer, and I'm aware of that.

Although I was a big fan of the grimey look of Skate 2, I'm not asking to go that far, but to show what skateboarding really is and to have it represented the way it should be.

- Have someone skateboarding related talking to the player as a normal person instead of someone mimicking an AI, together with the "How you do fellow kids?" lingo;

- Add pros representing the sport instead of only having fictional characters makes it much more believable AND bearable. I'm not asking for Tony Hawk - have veterans and current pros on it;

- Add skateboarding-related easter eggs (related to the sport, culture and even memes like DO A KICKFLIP!") on graffitis, on EA-designed board graphics, on clothing and etc. If the city embraces skateboarding, IT SHOULD have some of these easter eggs;

- How can you claim the game to be "inclusive", but you don't mention a skateboarding charity at all? You don't even mention the existence of such thing.

- The skating challenges are way too easy when it comes to tricks. Previous games told you to "Nosegrind the handrail" while this game just tells you to "Grind the handrail". There's a Skatepedia in the game, yet you rarely make the player go check it.

- Add a toggle to enable/disable player collision;
