Unlimited balance?!

UPDATE! 

I found the settings for the transitions/pumping! I’m not glued down anymore! Also I didn’t know there was a setting for auto Ollies up curbs. Turned it off as well. The game has gotten lot more realistic which I’m thankful for.

Still haven’t found the settings for balance :( did find the auto grind and turned that off.  

Anyways the game is miles better than what it was when I wrote this initial post. I’ll take the L. Plus I read the notes for the next update and I’m stoked. 

**********

 

There’s no need to try and balance while grinding or manueling. The characters can literally balance for an infinite amount of time. The previous skate games had balance physics. Before I would have to control the skaters body because of the momentum or else they’d fall. It would feel rewarding when you land.

 In this game, I can literally let go of the left stick while grinding because the character will just follow the path with perfect balance. Even when the character stops on the rail because they ran out of speed, they stay on the rail holding whatever trick they were doing because they won’t fall. I can do a thousand tricks in a row just using the right stick because of the godlike balance. There are 3 previous skate games with real skating physics, yet this game chose not to include it. Makes no sense. 

This game is like skating with bumpers on- no skill required. 

also the physics when skating fast over hills or ramps are off. The player is glued to the ground no matter how fast I’m coming in. I’ll only get air the if I ollie. Pumping into ramps and transitions are also gone. Please bring them back. It felt real riding up or down ramps and using the left stick to pump. 

 

also #2 please bring back the skating culture, and music. It really does look and feel like a kids mobile game. Or make an actual skate 4 that’s a sequel to skate, skate 2, and skate 3. Ty

  • Yes! All of this. Plus, I feel like I remember having to time how many kick flips and heel flips I did when in the air. Skate. you can just hold it and the game will land it no matter what. Hate this. And I sincerely hope we get death races and hall of meat back. I would’ve BOUGHT a revamped skate 3 instead of downloading this one for free. If the game were good, I’d probably give in to some of the micro transactions. But sadly, it just isn’t that fun.

    Unlimited balance sucks. Skateboarding isn't about landing tricks first try it's about trying and failing until you get it. The entire culture of skateboarding is based around resilience. If you take away the skills required to balance and time you're flips it's not a skateboarding game it's just lame.

  • turn all your assist down!! go into setting and look for the assist stuff id tell you where it is if i could go in and look my self buttt the game is being maintained right now!! i hope that the assist all being turned completely down should help with that if not iam sorry brutha

  • maybe check the settings? ive turned auto balance off and theres an option to have to catch flip tricks and not auto catch them. the game has lots of options that can make the game arcadey or hardcore.

    Sometimes, when I read reviews like this, I wonder if you've really spent any time with the game. Go to the settings and adjust the gameplay! Both bumps and tricks feel realistic then... (BTW, you can bump with the left stick OR RT/R2). I just can't take this seriously. And it just makes it more unnecessarily patched, just like with the XP. Players complain that you get too much XP... well, it was nerfed. CONGRATULATIONS wtf

    Is there a setting? I’ve checked the settings and I did find the setting for the transitions so I’m not glued down anymore. I haven’t found anything for the balance on rails or catching the flip tricks
