Rerun Previous EAskate. Seasons
I think previous seasons should undergo reruns over this year or next year at some point - pretty cringe I have to tell a newer player a shirt comes from a pass they can no longer get. If using FOMO is still a priority, I dont think it gets ruined if you make old seasons available next year or even ~6 months after the season ended. Having more than one season to choose from for a newer player casts a wider net, they might buy a different season if the current season is meh, or buy both -- It raises the chance for a new player to actually spend money and they dont feel like they are massively behind I don't think its that bad yet because I still see a bunch of newbies amongst each other. But from my experience it feels bad in MMOs - when you're around players who played the game for a while and they have crazy cosmetics and items. FOMO backfires here because they are in their own unique late game that is largely inaccessible. Many of their items are from limited time events, and even if you buy in on the next event coming up you still feel like a "plebian" (mostly because anyone "new as you" will likely get it). you have to keep waiting for events as the year goes on before it feels like you're a "veteran" or an experienced player of the game -- not to mention you still can't get stuff from previous events, if you wanted them. Owning stuff as a status is dumb sure but this is the type of goblin mindset FOMO tactics try to capitalize on.. I think it works when a game is new but over time it turned off new players like me (when I tried old MMOs) who see those long-time players and I go "bruh" when the game's wiki says "this item was available in blah blah event" - which then I quit the game. It sucks that I don't get to have my character be who I want them to be. Fashion is a major component to style in skateboarding, so I think its important new players get a lot of options and especially a good value on cosmetics, the season passes are a good value because they each contain like a couple dozen or so items at 1000 SVB. Also starter packs from each season should be available again, regurgitated as bundles perhaps. it's weird they are treated differently than bundles and only appear at the start of a season. Side point: There should be more crew bounties or a new product box that provides basic colors of previous premium clothing meshes. For every new mesh there should be a free black and white version of it (and if the black version is already premium, make the free version white). example of an item that needs this is the short shorts with kneepads, which are only in the colors of blue and red. others I suggest are a black newsboy cap, a non-leather black skirt, black normal short shorts, black (or navy) skinny pants, blank black tight crop top, blank black loose tank top, black tight tank top, and there's probably a few others BTW it would be cool if a free player can get one or two premium items for free so they can have BASICS such as sk8 hi vans or whatever weird thing they want to make them feel special.
Block parties
So we need to talk about block parties. I don’t want any part of them and I want the ability to opt out of them. When I’m skating a spot trying to get clips and the block party rolls up, not ONLY are you forced into it against your will, but it also puts all that crap on your screen. I don’t want to see this. It ALSO gets rid of your ability to go into the replay editor, once again this is super annoying. Not everyone wants this to screw up the vibe when they are playing. Give us the option to opt out of these in general so we don’t have to deal with these issues. No one asked for these, but I’m sure the trickliners and sweats love it. As a realistic skater I do not.
Meetups: Block Parties Feedback Thread
We've kicked off our Meetups: Block Parties weekend playtest, and want to know your feedback. ____________________ Need a refresher on what Meetups: Block Parties are? We got you. Meetups: Block Parties Summary What It Is A Roaming, Mass-Player Event: A live-service, social skate contest mode in skate. supporting up to 150 players on a server simultaneously. Part of "Meetups": It is the first iteration of a broader feature category called "Meetups" designed to naturally bring players together across the city. Casual Yet Competitive: Designed with accessible objectives for all skill levels, but built with enough depth, point scaling, and trick-chaining potential for competitive players. How It Works Opt-In & Schedule Seamless Entry: Features a seamless "drop-in/drop-out" mechanic with no sign-ups, matchmaking queues, or interaction prompts—players simply skate into the event area to participate. Scheduled Intervals: Events trigger every 30 minutes (at :15 and :45 past the hour). Dynamic City Roaming: Each 30-minute event moves across three randomized, connected locations throughout the city (including popular hubs and lesser-known spots), creating a group parade between locations. Gameplay & Leaderboards Varied Objectives: Mixes street, park, and vert challenges with randomized sequences to keep events unique. Late rounds include point multipliers to enable comeback wins. Real-Time Tracking: Uses two distinct leaderboards: Round Leaderboard: Tracks live performance (scores, distance) for the active round. Overall Leaderboard: Tracks combined standings across all rounds in the event. Focused Leaderboard UI: Displays the top overall players alongside the players directly above and below your current placement. Visual Crown System: The player currently in 1st place in a round is visually highlighted with a crown icon above their head, making them visible to all participants. Progression & Rewards Task-Based Rewards: The event itself does not award direct currency, but players earn rewards by completing Block Party-related tasks. Accessible Goals: Tasks do not require a 1st-place finish, allowing players of all skill levels to earn rewards. ____________________ Note: This is for feedback. What you liked, what you'd want to see, what you didn't love. Ideas, suggestions. For BUGS, we have this thread: Meetups: Block Parties Bugs Megathread | EA Forums - 13625297FIX BLOCKPARTIES!!
Im trying to do the monthly challenge where you win a bloco party and I cannot go a single block party without someone cheating or glitching to get number one so its actually impossible unless I cheat please fix this **bleep** otherwise ill never get the challenge done. Or at least change the challenge to finish top 3 because thats very do able.
New season, same Ban
New season, same ban, now after more than a year I'm still banned. What can I say? It's all really ridiculous and no one in support cares. My EA account is perfect; I can play everything (BF6, Need for Speed, and other EA games) except Skate. I'm increasingly convinced that there's a blacklist I was placed on without violating the rules.Advice for Skate. as a Skater, been skating since 1995.
I’ve been skateboarding for years in the Louisville, Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana scenes, since 1995 when I was 10, I am 41 now with over 30 years of skate experience in real life, and I wanted to give a little input from the perspective of somebody who is actually involved in skateboarding in real life. I haven’t really posted on here before, but I’ve been playing skate. for about a year now. First off, I’m not one of those people who’s going to come on here just to bash the game. I actually think you guys have something really good going, and I think as time goes on it’s going to get better and better. One criticism I hear a lot from people who play the game and are also actual street skaters is that the game still doesn’t completely capture the culture surrounding skateboarding. I think there are some ways you guys could bridge that gap. One of the biggest things I’d look at is bringing in more core and underground skate brands. Bronze 56K would be an awesome addition. They’re one of those brands where people who are actually deep into street skating immediately recognize what they represent. Their videos, editing style and whole aesthetic are unique, and having Bronze in skate. would immediately tell a lot of skaters, “Okay, these guys actually know what’s happening in skateboarding.” Alien Workshop would be another huge one. AWS was foundational to skateboarding for an entire generation, and they’re still an important piece of skate history and culture. Five Boroughs out of New York would also fit the game really well. You guys have already made some really good choices too. Quasi was a great addition. Sci-Fi Fantasy was another really good choice. I’ve also seen Spitfire, Real and Krooked represented, so I’m assuming there’s already some relationship with Deluxe. If that eventually leads to Antihero being included, that would be perfect because Antihero is about as core skateboarding as it gets. But here’s probably my biggest idea: Skate shop collaborations. Real skate shops are the bedrock of skateboarding culture. Instead of only partnering with major clothing and board companies, what if skate. started collaborating with iconic skate shops from different cities? For example: Nocturnal Skate Shop in Philadelphia FTC in San Francisco 303 Boards in Colorado Supreme in New York Home Skate Shop in Louisville Blacklist Boardshop in Cincinnati In our area, Home and Blacklist are foundations of their respective scenes. Almost every major skate city has shops like that. Nocturnal is tied directly into Philadelphia street skating, LOVE Park and Muni. FTC is part of San Francisco skate history. Supreme gets debated constantly now because of what the brand became culturally, but people sometimes forget that it started as a skate shop and has an enormous place in New York skate history. Imagine contacting shops like these and doing regional shop decks, clothing, stickers and other items. You could even sell or unlock actual shop decks based on the region somebody represents. But I would take the idea even further. Put some of the skate shops inside San Van. Imagine having an FTC storefront, a Nocturnal storefront or a Supreme-style shop built into different areas of the map. Players could actually skate there, walk inside, browse gear and meet other players. You could make these shops actual meetup locations. Tie them into group chat or some kind of session system where people say, “Meet at the shop,” and then everybody rolls out from there. That’s literally how skateboarding works in real life. You go to the shop. You see who’s there. Everybody talks. Somebody says where they’re skating. Then everybody heads out together. That one feature alone would give the world a much more authentic street-skating feeling. Another thing I would love to see is true 1:1 recreations of legendary skate spots. I’ve noticed that you guys are already doing versions or interpretations of famous real-world spots. There are areas in the game where I’ve immediately thought, “That’s China Banks.” I’ve seen things that remind me of the Brooklyn Banks and other famous spots too. And that’s cool. But I’m talking about taking it one step further. Actually recreate some legendary spots as closely as possible at a 1:1 scale and integrate them naturally into San Van. LOVE Park. Muni. China Banks. Hubba Hideout. Brooklyn Banks. You don’t necessarily have to recreate the entire city surrounding them. Just build the actual skate spot accurately and place it somewhere inside San Van. Make the stairs the right size. Make the ledges the right height. Make the banks the right dimensions. Make the layout recognizable enough that somebody who has skated there or watched those videos their entire life immediately knows: “That’s LOVE.” “That’s Hubba.” “That’s China Banks.” That would be unbelievably cool. You could even eventually have different legendary spots scattered throughout San Van representing different eras and cities of skateboarding. Another idea would be era-based skate culture packs. Imagine a 1990s New York pack with things connected to: Zoo York Supreme LOVE/Muni-era Philadelphia culture Classic East Coast street skating Zoo York obviously isn’t exactly what it was during the Harold Hunter era, but its place in skateboarding history is undeniable. That brings me to something else I think would be really meaningful. Work with the Harold Hunter Foundation. The Harold Hunter Foundation does incredible work in Harold’s name helping young people through skateboarding. Doing an HHF collaboration, fundraiser, deck, clothing drop or in-game event where some of the proceeds support their programs would be awesome. It would also show that skate. isn’t only borrowing skateboarding’s image. You’re actually supporting organizations that are helping the next generation of skaters. That’s important to me personally. I run the NKY Skate Committee in Northern Kentucky. A big part of what I do is helping underprivileged kids get skateboards, working toward getting skateparks built around Northern Kentucky and the greater Cincinnati/Louisville/Indiana/Ohio area, and trying to show communities what skateboarding actually means to kids. For a lot of kids, skateboarding isn’t just a hobby. It’s where they go when life sucks. It’s their friends. It’s their family. It’s their escape from whatever pressure they’re dealing with at home, at school or in everyday life. That’s why I care about seeing the culture represented correctly. I’d also reach out to companies and organizations like Thrasher. Not only would Thrasher clothing and gear obviously fit the game, but they’re deeply connected to skate history and could probably give valuable insight into what makes something feel authentic versus something that just looks “skateboarding inspired.” Same thing with Bones. Obviously nobody is going to notice what bearings somebody’s virtual board has while they’re skating, but Bones hoodies, shirts, wheels, accessories and branding would fit perfectly. There are dozens of little things like that where you could bring actual skateboarding companies into the world without making everything feel like a giant corporate advertisement. That’s really the point I’m trying to make. Don’t just bring brands into skate. Bring skateboarding’s ecosystem into skate. The shops. The legendary spots. The underground brands. The local scenes. The nonprofits. The history. The meetup culture. The weird little companies that only skaters know about. That’s the stuff that would make somebody who has been skating for 20 or 30 years turn the game on and say: “Okay. These people actually understand us.” Skate 1, Skate 2 and Skate 3 already earned a ridiculous amount of goodwill within skateboarding. People loved those games. That’s why there are so many people paying attention to what you’re building now. I really do think you guys have the opportunity to make this the greatest skateboarding game ever made if you keep building it in the right direction. These aren’t complaints as much as ideas from somebody who loves skateboarding, is involved in the community in real life, and wants to see this game become something special. Thanks for listening, and thanks for continuing to work on the game.
IDEA: Block Party sequence challenge
Idea for a few challenges that can be implemented that reward actual trick knowledge rather than being able to score from somewhat random button inputs and trick spamming. - First To Complete Sequence; ex. Inward Heelflip to smith grind to fs shuv out (maybe on a specific spot). First to complete gets 1st place and so on, then a timer counts down after the top 3 have landed it.“Skate”…
I speak for all when i say This game started off really hopeful by everyone and the gaming community when it first came out like it was hyped asf But… less than 7K players it’s dead on arrival. and this is why if any of the devs are listening… The long battle pass grind. it should take like 5 tricks i should have half the battle pass done. that’s why fortnite makes so much money you can finish and unlock everything within a day to be honest. Another thing is the Fact our old battle passes are all incomplete… they also locked them behind another wall… with this new season i was hopeful it would be like better but nope. Sincerely someone who spent like 100$ on the game. about to delete it and play GTA 5 or halloween the game lol or ghost recon wildlands some other EA game
Lame Block Parties
Me and couple homies did two block parties and they got off by the time the 3rd one appeared. Y'all need to axe all the "near player challenges"! They're not fun. They just make the game and everyone playin it look stupid. One of the challenges was hippy jump near players. It was just a full minute of players huddled up like penguins spamming hippy jumps. Another one was ollies near players. Everyone was spamming ollie in the middle of the quarter pipe when we could've used it with a better challenge. It may as well just be a game of Simon says. Y'all go about makin the game more social in the worst ways possible. It did bring us closer, but me n the boys just made fun of it and it got us off the game faster. The games performance kinda struggles when there's too many player in one area as well. I feel like each phase or challenge doesn't last long enough and some areas boundaries leave out good spots to skate too.
