Why am i getting generic stuff as rewards?

The fact that you have to pay for actual skate brands is disappointing. I really waited 15 years for this? This isn’t even a skate game at this point. Sure the mechanics and alright ish but where is the culture? The pros? The brands? The music? The soul. It’s just disappointing. You think waiting this long you’d get a perfect game but apparently is just like every other game that comes out nowadays. Full of Fortnite like item shops and micro transactions. Whatever happened to the grind of starting a board company. Making a crew. selling boards and crushing achievements and feeling accomplished? Like wow I earned fake money for completing this stupid challenge to open a random mystery box full of Walmart brand BS. Just feels uncomfortable. I can only usually take about an hour at a time before I get bored with it. Where as I load up a fresh save on any previous game and I’m up all night. Just feels like it’s missing. Idk the whole concept of being a skate game. Rather play Tony hawk pro skater at this point. At least it has a solid soundtrack. Real skaters and loads of customization options and real skate brands. Just disappointing. Do better EA. This isn’t madden so please don’t treat it as such. You really lost a lot of faith from me from canceling the latest Star Wars battlefront game. Let’s hope you can gain some faith back by not screwing up my favorite game series. Also shouldn’t be forced to skate with people if I don’t want to. Id like the option to continue the story solo
