Why did EA remove skate.create

Indeed this feature has been retired. You will find more details here:

• Skate.reel and Skate Graphics information

E.A have removed skate.create as the game has high enough ratings and the site is no longer needed!! I still beleive it is a big mistake, the facet that they shut it down, they should keep the site up for new buyers and even people who fancy a fresh look! an idea could be to make the graphics creator a DLC, but thats just my opinion!

I knew this would happen, EA makes us pay for online passes, and some free dlcs removed and putting them back up for money. EA, what is wrong?

Put back skate.create, just way till we start something to keep on getting them annoyed and putting them backon. I'm not paying 7 bucks for something you can create. Put it as a free dlc to make you're character and skate parks even cooler! 

:catsad:I know right!? on skate 3 you still can buy the 7 frickin dollar pack, i bougth it not long ago, then looked it up and relized it was deleted!? i mean wat the heck?! they pretty much just stole $7 from me, they atleast need to give re-funds and thake the pack option out!

that is sad

I wanted to make griptape for my Skate in Skate 3 using skate.create but they removed it :l

EA are you going crazy tons of peoples still buying the game just to play online and do their on graphics so why did you removed it.

 I bought the game recently and wanted to do my graphics and play online , but now i cant and this just makes you ea lost more and more money with the online and skate.create site on you would won more money  but now you re just destroying peoples skate 2/3 gameplays 

  thanks ea

I got skate 3 like 1 week ago and I saw other people were the coustom shirts and when I first saw the shirts I thouht you can get them buy selling boards like for the other shirts then saw a video on youtube how to create your on custom shirt or hodie and I try going on the website and I couldn't get on to the website and then I saw videos of how to make coustom grip tape board without the website and I tryed it but it didn't work and I was almost fusturated and today when I made this reply about it I got on google and I searched skate.create I saw skate.create.ea and I loged in to my xbox account and I got on to the fourms on the website and I clicked skate.create and it didn't pop up the thing it poped up something else. Please EA I beg you to put skate.create back because I think a lot of people that have skate 3 still have it wants EA to put back skate.create.

I am pretty shocked that they have removed this feature. I bought the game when it first came out, and used the video clips you can record yourself for a University assignment. I used to play it online ALL the time, had my own skate team, and page full of pics and vids, and I purchased a lot of the extra content (including the stuff that enhances the stuff they've now deleted). I ended up selling it because I was skint and needed the money at some point. Now just recently I have bought it again, so I can play online with my pals and I am extremely disappointed and shocked to find that they have removed all these features. They sold the game and advertised these features with it. The features are still advertised on the box so when a new person buys it I am pretty sure they are going to feel ripped off that part of what they paid for isn't even available anymore. Only due to what I imagine EA sees as something that is 'draining' on their profits. I'm sorry but all these customers have paid for these features and to remove it without any refunds or even properly consulting their player base is just beyond bad customer service. 

It reminds me of when they decided to shut down The Sim free play on Facebook, there was such an uproar, many people had put A LOT of money into the game and they turn around and say it isn't profitable enough so we will be shutting it down. That is no way to treat your customers. I know that the game is back now but not under what circumstances. It was definitely shut down for some period of time. This is why I rarely buy games from EA anymore unless it is something I desperately want to play. As soon as I see the "EA" tag I instantly think, bad customer service, money grabbing bastards.
