Skate 2 – Wishlist Part 1

Skate 2 - Wishlist Part 1 Red

I love EA’s new Skate game. But the game is just 65% done.

Recover Bad Fall

One thing that really bugs me about this game is the so called “physic” engine. When you fall from your skate it looks like someone just dropped a dead body from the eifeltower.

I’d like them to implant a “recover bad fall” animation to the engine. Instead of the guy just dropping dead when he falls off his skate, why not have animations with the guy trying to recover from his bad fall so he doesn’t hit his head first. Right now it’s like the skater dies just because he lose his skateboard from his feet’s.

Skateboard Damage System

I’d like to see a damage system for the skateboards that records all the grind scratches under the board etc etc. So when you have totally f*ed up the skateboard your gonna have to buy a new one.

Walking

Being able to pick up your skate and walk up the stairs you wanna jump is a lot easier then having to skate up a mountain to get to it. So being able to pick up the skate and walk, run and jump would be great and it would give you more freedom.

Gameplay

Not being able to do a handplant/invert is something that was missing in Skate. This has to be put in. Maybe by pressing the (Y) button? And then control your balance with the sticks some how.

Handplant

  1. Some good ideas so far. I have a couple suggestions too.

    1. Some actual board damage. Like already if you try to ollie off of something too high he’ll just land on the board but then he’ll fall off. What if the board would actually break and it would make you have to buy a new board to replace it

    2. Board damage. If you use the same board too much you should see scratches and chips on it. Same with the grip tape. A part of skateboarding is having to replace your board after you wear it out

    3. The abilty to wax curds that don’t slide very well. Its kind of unrealisic to be able to grind every little curb. So perhaps if you like a ledge you should be able to wax it so that it’ll slide better.

    4. More clothing options

    5. Being able to change bearings which would have an impact on speed.

    Thats all of the things that i havne’t seen on the list so i’ll get back to you with more

    peace

  2. u should be able to mark a favorite skate spot so its not so hard to find it again and you should be able to make a team online and film a video for your team.

  3. Need to be able to walk/run and maybe climb some…ladders or walk up steps at least…ride behind cars. I’m sure many people are sick of pushing their way to a subway or a place…I am. Could make the hats not quite so square…they look horrible. Other than that the online is pretty laggy…needs to be improved and maybe just narrowed down a little more to the area that is meant to be skated than being able to roam outside of freeskate online locations.

  4. Yeah, I like some of the ideas that you guys are coming up with. I have had some of the same ones, before skate even came out. I sent a long email to the makers of Tony Hawks Pro Skater, and I asked for a “Realistic” skateboarding game. Too bad they didn’t come up with anything like that. EA answered my prayers..

    As for improvements, I think that their physics engine is pretty well done, except it has some glitches, and I think it would be cool to see the limbs actually break and stuff, rather than getting a strange written damage report. Saving yourself from bails wont always happen in real life, however it does happen a lot more than slamming and breaking your entire rib cage every five minutes, I agree that the developers should make skaters able to walk away from sissy bails, like missed flip tricks.

    I have tried some big gaps in “Skate” and I have had that reoccurring “Too hard” landing thing happen, where you just fall off the board.. And I find that really annoying. I know one isn’t physically able to ollie off of a three story building.. But I think they should put some sort of thing in the game to brace yourself for impact. They had something kind of like this in the second Tony Hawk. However, I think skate could do a better job.. And for Snapping skateboards and having to buy new ones, I think that was one of my main ideas when I sent Activision that email.. Anyways, thanks for putting this forum up..

  5. i agree with all the ideas but the problem is nearly all the thing uve said tony hawks has alredy done, i think ea tried very hard not to rip of tony hawks and thats why alot of those features arnt in the game. geting of your board would be good i get so pissed off having to find my way to the top os good stair sets, i think there should be some kind of catch feature where u have to position your feet to land properly. sot of like thier was in thrasher on th ps1

  6. It will be a good idea that with the money you earned you could spend it on building your own skate park like this you would have a motivation to earn money.

  7. agree with the damge thing, but I don’t think you should have to buy one again IF AND ONLY IF you’re riding your sponsor’s board. if your not sponsored, or riding another board, BUY ANOTHER ONE!

    They should make an online career, so it’s kind of like WoW, just not as geeky

  8. i think the board, trucks, and bearings should all have wear-out meters. nothin with core gameplay is messed up except like some of you guys mentioned the physics and video editor. I mean i, being a skater my self, would think it bad ass to see my board snap in the game 360 flippin a gap. And skitching wouldnt be a bad idea either. I like how you dont really have to balance with the manuals and stuff like that. The video editor should keep a few things, but should be more like halo 3’s, with the ability to fly around. You should also be able to walk- not climb. Ladders would ruin core-gameplay. Things like primo sliding and flipping should somehow be added, although i dont know how they would do that. And as someone said before they should also have a spot marker book to mark skate spots on the map, not just the owned parts. The confidence meter sounds a little overrated tonyhawk- it would be complicated to figure out. But if they did add one, i beleive they should have it go up by how many tricks you land in a row, how good the trick is, and how clean you landed it. When you fall it goes down, but not all the way. Its just like warming up in real life. And woulda little rain to rust my bearings or trucks or make skating a little slippery be too much to ask? Curb waz thing sounds intense, it would be sweet to be like “i like this ledge screw that one love this one” haha. Just some ideas, throwin ‘em out there.

  9. you should add the ability to be able to do a “BIG FLIP”. if you try and do it in the game the board does a 540 NOT a 360. you should fix that. you should also make it somewhat a little “harder” to do switch and nollie tricks.. i dont know how but there should be some way. umm.. oh yea add nighttime in the game. make the sun go down, then the moon come up, then the moon go down, then the sun go up. you know? thatd be cool

  10. ALSO! make the skaters shoes rip up. kinda like the “board damage” thing but “shoe damage” also

  11. I agree with the damage idea, and i really think that you should be able to walk around. But just to add onto the realism, i think that you should have the option to have first person view hilst skating, where you can see where you are going and how you are using your board. I also have n idea to solve the “too hard” landig problem, when you just hit the ground you use the crouch button to absorb the landing.

  12. I would love to see flatland tricks in this game. Being able to freestyle would be amazing, especially if it were implimented into the s.k.a.t.e. mode. I’m not sure how they could do it… perhaps one of the bumpers would switch you to a “flatland mode” or something, so instead of doing a kickflip you would go into a casper or something. Just a thought.

  13. yer good points

    need sum good pros aswell

    like Jereme Rogers, tim o’conner, jerone wilson.

    i ecpecialy agree on the walking. i was reli annoyed at the fact u cant walk back up a set of stairs 2 session it.
    anyway over all its a good game and a good start hopefully all these ideas will be taken in and still kick tony hawks ass! lol

  14. Ok here it goes, some ideas! all you have some good ideas and here are some additional ideas i feel would make this the all time best game ever:

    the game needs a time system. time of day, season with weather, calenders, etc.

    regular pro competition circuits similar to the dew tour format so you have to constantly keep your pro status based on a calander system.

    you should be able to buy stuff like property that you have to go to to save the game and cars for status and acheivements and stuff.

    maybe have a fatigue system where you have to do something to get rest like go home or drink an energy drink and the more you skate the more endurance you get. not like a point system but it would be automatic based on how much you ar skating.

    popularity system were the more popular you are the more spectators you get watching you. Papparatzi maybe. might be cool if at least you could control it like how you control the peds and traffic in free skate.

    transportation: i have a few ideas like there should be taxies that you have to pay for to drop you off anywhere on the map. take out the jump to any where feature on the map and make you have to use real means to get where you are going like skate to the train station or hail a cab or hop in your brand new BMW you just bought and drive to your fav spot.

    be able to save fav spots! even be able to upload markers to skate reel so others can session your spots.

    Make a Advanced game mode that toggles some of these ideas i have on so the not so patient skaters can jump to places or have no fatigue or damage and stuff like that if they play on a lower game mode. maybe even if you break a bone you have to pay for the medical bill.

    $$$$
    I wish there was more stuff to buy as i always seem to have a $100000+ in the ol’ wallet in skate 1 so maybe have a financial system in skate 2 that you have bills to pay like that new mansion you just bought or the car insurence. cabs, subways, who knows planes!. I think this would add a great dynamic to the game if you had to manage your money and career. maybe something for the advanced game mode.

    Damage to the board would be cool but damage to the skater would be cooler. like when you scrap the hell out of you chest face sliding down a hill you actually bruse up and have cuts and stuff at least for a bit or even have to pay to get better. damage modeling would be a plus. maybe something just for the advanced game mode might get expensive.

    Character customization needs an overhual. think tiger woods. We need more options, more hair cuts other then the 8 variations of a mullet on skte 1. more facial control. I want to make my character look like me or Quazimoto, but i need the controls to do it.
    new hats are a must and be able to where them how ever we want. hair color needs to be more veritile for all us punks.

    Custom decks and clothing. Need to be able to import my graphics, logos etc to the game. Just had an idea, in the game you would have to be able to start your own skte company. cost money of course.

    More tricks!!! what about hand plants, Darkside grinds, caspers!!!! need some flatland.

    Replay editor:
    Need more camera options like fixed cameras and 360 tracking cameras, freefloating cams, etc.
    need to be able to export the vids we make to the Hard drive on the game system in a usable format to make skate videas with no time limit as some of the best runs are really long and it would be great to be able to capture those with the replay editor and not be restricted to 30 seconds. allthough 30 seconds for online upload is fine as the bandwidth needed for more then that is astronomical.

    Its been said before but need to be able to get off the board and walk run climb. who cares if THPS has done it already. they dont own a patent on walking and such.

    Well that was my 2 cents! ( if EA did everything i just listed it would probably be about $5-10 million in development) and you wonder why the games cost $60.

    all in all I think that if skate 2 had some sort of career management system it would make such a more dynamic and interesting game. but im sure what ever they do It will be awsome.

    THAYER3

  15. All your ideas will be accepted apart from the dudes above me.

  16. they need to add no complys and bonelesses to the game.

    also rolling out of grinds on transition isnt nearly realistic enough and in real life you dont normally stand up straight whjen doing grinds/slides on transtion because its dependant on how fast your going.

    grinds down hand rails dont look realistic enough as you dont stand up straight for a frontside boardslide down a sloped rail, you arch your body and lean into it.

    And 180 ollies,kickflips etc dont look at all real as in real life you dont rotate your head or body that much with a fs 180 but just your hips and legs.

    And tricks on vert suck because it looks like your skating street still and your not crouching enough in mid air an dnot leaning into the direction of the transition whilst in air.
    Vert skating requires you to control and specificly position your whole body from the head down, street skating only requires you to really conentrate on your body below the hips, and mini ramp is somewhere in between

  17. Cant wait for skate 2 to come out. Skate 1 was so good only needs a few improvements like walking,bails!! e.t.c anyway im sure youve heard it befor.

  18. I think that it would be an awsome idea to only be told the basic flips, grinds, and grabs, and have to unlock the rest.
    This is because you can just look in your trick book and find the best ‘flickit’ trick in the game, because they are all there!!
    Whereas this way, having to do a trick before you can see how to ‘flickit’, you would have to experiment with the controls to get good and learn the tricks for yourself.
    For example, if you do a ’shuvit’, and a ‘kickflip’ at the same time you get a ‘varial kickflip’. Once you did it, it would be unlocked in your trick book on how to ‘flickit’ a ‘varial kickflip’.

    Much more realistic, nobody can do a ‘360 inward heelflip 180′ as son as they step on a skateboard!!!

  19. handplants……simple you grab one trigger at the top of lip to plant your hand then grab the other trigger to grab your board…ttweakable of course.they should add quickcrete to be able to fix spots or just make something sick ANYWERE….you gunna like this one!add moving trucks you can coffin under!!!or semi trucks….idk something…cops!there should be pigs in cars chasing you……GRAFFITI!uummmm idk if u guys noticed but neckface is everywhere in the game SICK!
    one wheel manuels………walking yeah its actully not that important people get to insane places in the game anyway…..THERE SHOULD BE DAY AND NIGHT…AT NIGHT YOU WOULD HAVE TO SET UP LIGHTS AT SERTAIN SPOTS…..your should be able to have a camera mode……well you should be able to control the camera 100%either before or after..i have more ideas….

  20. I think, even though its already way more realistic then other skate games but i still think you shouldnt be able to ollie as high as you do like is way to easy to ollie a twenty set and stuff it really pisses me off

  21. Email this all to EA alot of the times they will take into consideration what the people think should be better in their games and sometime will tell you why they didnt or couldnt do it

    If youve ever played socom they same kind of thing happened. Read up on it, so many of the die hard fans sent emails to zipper that they made their new game completly based around what the fans wanted including getting rid of the offline version

  22. i think that skate 2 should have checkpoints in “follow me” its so annoying when your almost there and you get hit by a car and have to start over

  23. hey great ideas i think there should also be a bail button so say u see u cant land the trick u push the bail button so he bails out and doesnt get smashed i also think it would be good to have damage for the person like say you land badly on your wrist he holds it as he skates for a bit or if he goes for something huge and gets totally smashed he gets sent to the hospital and charged a small fee for the damage caused. i also think that they need some sort of stats for the skater i know the person progresses at playing the game but have the stats not visible but sorta built in so if u like flip tricks and get good at them and land them alot your flips are better but if your more into vert tricks ya grabs get better it would also be cool if when u first try to learn a new trick you actually stack it the first couple of times depending on how hard the trick is. I think another good idea is like with Tony Hawk and it has that whole focus thing how u have to land the board flat i think skate needs something like that so if u kickflip u have to let go at the right moment only problem with this is it makes the game harder….

  24. I don’t think the freestlye manuel tricks should be added only because (now think about it) there’s only a couple people you could probably think of right now who can do these tricks. (Challenege: his name can’t be rodney mullen)

  25. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-U1L1T_-XEs&feature=related

    the move he does at 0:50…it would be great if you can do this in the game

  26. walking.. not a button or jumping, but holding both feet buttons, so he can walk.. ide be down with that, maybe then on a wall ride push a foot button and he’d plant off it all badass..

    then alittle gore.. all i ask for is a blood streak, like on a face slide accross the pavement, ide laugh

    yup

  27. I agree, i think you shuld be able to snap your board and your board would get damaged also. but wen your board is broke you have to get another out of your backpack. One other idea i had was all the tricks would look different. For example, say all the pros do 20 kickflips and they would all look different. Then in the game you it would just cycle through them so wen you do one they would all look different. Same thing with all the tricks down rails and ledges etc.. One last idea is that the switch and fakie tricks need to be more realistic:)

  28. well alot of those ideas were cool, except for the waxing the curb thing, why the heck would i want to stop and take the time to wax a curb for ten min just to skate it like twice. and oops i broke my board now i have to spend the next hour walking to the skate shop thats accross town to get a new one. and now i’m tired so i have to stop having fun for a while and go home and eat and sleep. people dont buy this game to live a super realistic life and skate a little on the side. they buy it to skate and have fun without having to go home and take a leak after having to drink a coke to replenish their “fatigue meter”, or having to go to the store and buy some band aids to fix up their “damage meter”, if the game were like that they wouldnt buy it they would just go buy a friggen skate board and learn how to do it in real life.

  29. gettin slutty

  30. The comments/requsts are making it sound more and more like the Tony Hawk series!

    lol..

  31. Right, as a big skate fan, skate is possibly the funnest game i’ve played. However as many people have noticed a few things are missing

    Most frustrating

    — Walking. I find it mildly annoying that the floor is made of lava to the guy on the board. One touch and you fall. other than stopping but thats about it.

    — Edit your skate clips into one video, E.G film something somewhere, then something somewhere else, but have the ability to import clips into one, and add background music of the set bands on the playlist.

    – Public transport, Bus, Taxi ? who knows

    — Change sponsor, i didn’t even really realize i had picked my sponsor until it was too late

    — Split screen multiplayer? freeskate

    — Breaking board sounds pretty cool, from heights

    — Obviously more, but will post later

  32. Another would be to start off like a pure noob at skating, knowing a few tricks, and when ollieing from heights, rarely landing, but as you gain experience, you learn tricks if you get shown from other skaters, and you get the ability to ollie off higher heights.

  33. good ideas. i think that they should try and capture the real LIFE of skating. like gettin a friend or a camera guy to film you. rolling around in a car would be a stretch but its an idea. Skating in demos would be kind of cool. I think they could go more in depth with a more personalized style. And one thing i hate about all skating games is skating hand rails. No matter how fast you go you always seem to fly straight over the rail like it was nothing, when in fact getting onto a rail is pretty hard. Proportionally, the heighth of the rail looks right but it doesnt seem right skating rails. And they still ollie a bit to high. I am picky about how i would want a game and i know that i don’t make them . But SKATE was a huge step up from the bush league Hawk games.

  34. I agree with all youre ideas but i think they should make the game a little less loadable like when u put a session marker and go to far then u have to wait for the load. One concern is that when u snap youre board you bought eg Zero and then snap it you can go to your backpack and replace it for free with the same board. Also itll be cool to make youre own board.

    -UHEEEB!

  35. oh and pick at least 3 sponsers not 1

    AROOOO!

  36. and instead of picking up a sub go beside a taxi and hitch a ride somewhere.

    way quicker..

    BAH

  37. If you pick a sponser you can round them up and make a video

  38. you should be able to put video parts together and like download tracks and publish it, kinda like thpg, i REALLY think there should be a focus button, like by pushing down on one of the thumbsticks to use either feet to focus, or the 2 triggers to pick it up and throw it, you should be able to walk and i dont know if this is possible, but when skating in real life, if u land on your board the wrond way over a set or gap, it breaks, so maybe you can make something up of that, but if you make a number 2 i will be super stoked and i KNOW it will be better (also call pop shuvit 180s big spins, haha)

    peace! WP

  39. be able to play 2 player free skate split screen and more realsitic falls

    THATS IT

  40. and wallenberg, carlsbad, macba, hollywood 16, wilshir, and set up your own angles for photos

  41. i like a lot of these ideas. san van was awesome but at times it was almost so perfect it was unreal. i’d like to see some east coast grit like new york or philly,. some real skate spots like brooklyn banks, love park, etc. would be great. i know tony hawk has done love, but skate could make it so much better. non local skate comps would be good, like going to a comp site for a few days (tampa, euro comps, whatever) then going back home. i won’t mention trick development, physics, or clothing cuz everyone covered those. lastly more skate culture, like a more interactive skateshop, a better scene as apposed to ran dom skaters flying around everywhere (i sometimes felt alone in this huge city). maybe a skate crew or a real session going down at a spot. Skate 2 will be the best skating game ever(only before skate) as long as they stay true to skateboarding.

  42. Skitching is good for speed like have a friend in career mode and be like

    you see that gap that’d be sick to tre flip, but how do i get the speed, Oh i know go get your moms van and ill skitch

    being able to make your own team or atleast edit the whole teams video

    more ams, johnnylayton, omar salazar, bunch of new guys

    umm, walking i guess

    build a park.

    but some people said that barcelona would be good, where do you think san vanelona comes from
    three best skate cities

    San Francisco
    Vancouver
    Barcalona

    San Van(couver)e(barc)lona

  43. i think everyone should be in the same map when online, it would make it so more realistic. you see a group of skaters and you go over and ask if you could join in their game of skate or whatever they are doing. and the whole progress idea is spot on, better people, like being a pro online (those who play the game more are better). being better than some of my friends would be awesome!
    setting up cameramen, lights and stuff is another brilliant idea, and then editing and setting up your own skate video.
    walking is good as long as its not overdone, like climbing and stuff. more skate parks, weather conditions, boards snapping

    the whole car idea sounds stupid but it would brilliant, picking up mates and driving to a skate spot, although the map would have to be ridiculously big. though there would be dickhead drivers about

  44. i think there shud be a class like sytem but instead of just vert and street there shud be things like stair gaps, grinds, vert grabs, vert spins ,copin grinds ect. and people shud ony be able to build limted stats(number out of 10) for the class you pick and you shud get the chioce to change your sponser but if you do you lose your free stuff you got before

  45. dude, why dont you just play tony hawks?

  46. really solid ideas…… I enjoy chillen with my buddys sometime and play 2 player Skate. I think Skate 2 should offer more variety in multiplayer games. Maybe different things such as a comp. at the different parks. Best run in 3:00 or whatever kind of thing…. I really like the 20 different spots you can do. Possibly even add on to the spots?? we all know there are more then 20 different tight spots to rip in the skate environment. Maybe even being able to chose a spot at random or save a favorite spot for such thing? Keep up the good work.

  47. if they did make a skate 2, i think that they should put the board dammage onto that. that was an amazing idea. although, i wouldnt want a walking mode on the game, cuz then if you can walk from place to place, then why not call the game walk? so walking is dumb idea. A park creator would be very nice also, but having a mansion and paying bills… wtf? thats what the sims is for. this is skate, not the sims. so all i hope is that skate 2 will come out very soon!!!

  48. Something else that would be cool is a way to land from huge gaps. Some gaps in SKATE seem doable until you try them, and then you just eat it. I was thinking maybe if you click the right stick upon impact to make your player absorb the impact a little better. It sucks to see a cool gap and then not be able to land it no matter how hard you try. Obviously there is some stuff that nobody could ever land, but some leeway in there would be cool. Holla holla!

  49. Ok, my name is Chris and I’m a skater and I love SKATE, when it came out i went and got it as soon as possible.

    There are alota things that need fixin’ tho…

    1. Day and night. Skatin at night would be sick, have your filmer set up lights, generator, itd be sick.

    2. The tricks. More tricks, (boneless, handplant, etc.) Also the flip tricks need improvement. Your body should be independant from your board, alowing body variels like sex changes, etc. Flipping a trick should not be all, but like click the stick to catch the board in mid air, timing would allow primo stalls, double flips, 540 flips maybe (lets not get crazy now).

    3. Your filmer. You should have to call him up to film, and lets get a look at him what does he look like!?

    4. Boards are not invincable. Allow them to break, I like the damage meter idea, but why a meter? Why in games is it always a meter? If it’s damaged, just make it skate worse, like less tail, or cracked. When your board breaks, buy a new one, unless your sponsered, then you can get the sponsered deck for free. Same with berrings/ trucks.

    5. Falls. Animation needs changing, so you don’t just go limp and hope for the best. If you pop too high and come down on a rail on a boardslide, make that board break and bust his nuts! That would be funny as hell and very entertaining. Also missed flip tricks, should just have him land on his feet and fall over if it’s a long drop.

    6. Ok, the most obvious change that is needed. GET OFF YOUR BOARD. Walk/run around the city.

    7. Economy. Earn money for something! Buy/build your own skate park! New clothes, hats, etc. Maybe cars?

    8. Music. Ability to have your own music come thorugh the speakers at the skateparks in the game like X games. If you notice, only the ambient music within the game has the cool reverberating efefct while in buildings.

    9. LAN. Some of us don’t have live depending on where you live or whatever. I want to be able to system link with my buddys and free skate.

    10. Stalls on QP’s should be easier to do and animations should be fixed.

    11. Camera angles and editor. Free camera angle mode, diffrent lens options, ability to save multiple footage and put them all together to make a skate movie, which can be saved to hard drive or transfered to computer.

    12. Story line. I felt the story line in SKATE could have improved, and alot of the time i found myself disqusted at the goals needed, like do 6 gorinds 4500 points land 8 sec air time in 30 seconds. That sucked, very tony hawkish, unrealistic. Goals should be like, kickflip frontside boardslide a 9 set, get it clean on film and send it to your guy who makes skate vids. Etc…

    13. Better Custization with face and body, like Fight Night round 3, or Tiger woods.

    Well I didn’t mean to complain about SKATE 1, its the best skateboarding game to come yet, with graphics and realistic gameplay and whatnot. If EA is reading this, you guys are my hero lol and if you take my ideas seriously I’d be forever thankful!.!!

    Thanks for reading fools! Go skate!

  50. Thanks for postinh :)

  51. Best idea ever!!!! release it for pc aswell

  52. I think they should have like a new system where you can change your regular skate board into like a long board or a bannana board so it goes faster or somethin like that

  53. i think with the money youown u should be able to buy houses and build skateparks in itlike robs and get pets like rob 2 and u should be able to buy cars and make it like robs truck wit deck holders and stuff and u could drive the truck to spots to skate in

  54. — Walking of course. maybe climbing (only for doing drop ins; plus it would be cool to get on top of buildings to do roof gaps and such)

    — The goals in career mode should be more specific. I HATE the video challenges. With goals like “get so many points, do so many grinds, blah, blah, blah” It just turns into doing the highest point rated tricks fast as you can to clear the goal. The goals should be specific like the pro challenges. They were challenging, but fun. And the helped you learn new tricks and get better at the game. plus after you finished them, the replay actually looked good. Whereas the video challenges looked very thps like. The only reason I played career mode was to unlock new spots. The photo challenges were fine too i guess.

    — being able to set up a little kicker ramp, or moving around benches would be really cool. you could use the ramp gap up to a grind or manual. and moving the benches would make spots more personalized.

  55. i wish you could have more things to buy, like some vans, foundation skateboards, rictas, ya know things like that. i also would like to be able to carry a camera around and place it a certain angle and place, and be filmed at that curtain gap, ledge, rail bowl, whatever. i also would like to have a personal photographer and position him where ever and tell him to get a shot. those shots or sequences can be sent in to the local shop or mag. you should also be able to skate cam friends online too. and see who has the best filming abilities. andddd please make the game a little more realistic. let your board break that would be nice, just snap under your feet, or let your guy snap the tail off, or right threw th middle when you get really pissed off. when your skating for a gap you should be able to kick out your board and throw it away. ahhhh man. better editting like adobe premier, something good, with sick ram slowmos out of after affects. clothes yo moreeee, thing for everyone, hippies, jews, chineese kids, nah jk but everyone. like bandannas, beanies, stuff like that, get more companies too, as many as possible. night and day would be nice pullen out that genorator with all your lights. and sessioning a skate spot. alll your stuff should wear out till where your truck snaps, your board starts to flex, or your wheel just flies off.. and you fall right on your ass. in the middle of nowhere, wherever you want you should be able to buy concrete and such to build homemade qps, hips, boxes, and differebt types of transitions. more parks of all kinds. and no like comps. like the x games or the dew tours. what about like the vans downtown showdown, goofy verses regulars, tampa ams, and tampas pros, etc. more things like sessioning things with pros and ams. also you should be able to save a spot and go to it on the map. besides breaking things on your boaard i want to be able to slip out and hit a glass window and it smashes into pieces. then you have to get out of there as fast as possible. i would also to slip out on landings, rails, and if you put plants in, then those too.i would also like faster turnouts on rails and ledges. another thing is pivots like 90 pivots on a backside flip, those would be mad nice. im an actual skater and like thing to be like you really are out there struggling with your board, buying new things, skating with friends, getting sponsored, going to new spots etc. with all these things i wuld love skate even more.

  56. I had a lot to say about Suggestions but forget it.

    I would rather talk about how BULLSHIT most of your comments are. Im not one to bash on people online because it seems like the most pussy thing to do but c’mon HAVE GOOD IDEAS! When you suggest things think of things that WOULD help.

    Most of you ask for THPS shit.

    Although walking sounds cool. THIS IS SKATEBOARDING.

    if EA does add walking to this game PLEASE don’t make this into a ” OH I CAN climb onto 12 story buildings and acid drop into a bowl or half pipe.” c’mon.

    Day and night? maybe you can fit this but i don’t even care about having to skate during the day. Shit, i rather skate during the day.

    the only thing i wanted to support for skate 2 is the Free-form video angles and board damage. Maybe a longer story line. I really enjoyed the characters in the game. I also find it funny that although Freeway is the old school Hill bomb kind of guy I don’t think i have ever seen him win a death race. hah

  57. 2 things that I would personally like to see are create a spot; where you can lay down a piece of ply-wood for a gap or something, or create a small park with rails and whatnot, and oh yeah, get rid of the Christ air

  58. I think the only things needed are

    - Getting off the board
    - bigger customization
    - If the day and night mode would come to game, in the night there would be no security

    Things that doesn’t need to SKATE 2

    - Rodney mullen tricks
    - Changed gameplay (I have heard that you will be able to catch your board while flipping, so you can do darkslides which I think are useless)
    - PLEASE DO NOT MAKE THIS GAME A TONY HAWK’S GAME, DO NOT ADD ANY STUPID STUFF LIKE MULLEN TRICKS AND OTHER TONY HAWK STUFF. BECAUSE, IF ALL THE THINGS WILL COME TO TRUE, NOBODY WILL LIKE THIS GAME AND IT WILL COME CLOSER AND CLOSER TO TONY HAWK GAMES, PLEASE KEEP IT FRESH AND AS ANTI – TONY HAWK AND AS REALISTIC YOU CAN.
    Thanks

  59. the new features nedded are:
    -a longer storyline:new contest like dew tour,quicksilver bowlrider(maybe introducing real world skatepark like malmo or tampa) and vert contest
    -more character customization: more Brands(vans quicksilver element…),more clothes more hair cut an improved face editor maybe with facemapping
    -getting off the board: just WALKING, NOT jumping on buildings…
    -an improved liptrick system:some lip seems so unreal and introduce handplant
    -more grabs:judo madonna benihana
    -more fliptrick:360duble flip(chris cole rulez!!!)
    -more skaters
    -skate park creator!!!!!!
    -swhitchiong the analog stick when you ride switch: you control your deck with the left and your body with the right

    GO SKATE OR GO HOME!!!

  60. i love all of these i dea but i have another one that would greatly improve the recording of tricks if you were able to place the camera any were you want like the camera in tony hawk so you can get that realistic filming look

  61. also if they do mke a second game they should change all the characters and also ad ametuer skater instead of all pro skaters so the game doesnt end up like the thps games with the same characters in everyone aside from the acasional new character whos there for one game

    ideas for new skaters
    1.tony trujillo
    2.sheldon melishinski
    3.rick howard
    4.louie barletta
    5.chris troy
    6.anthony “ragdoll” scalamere

    and ill come up with some more later

  62. im back with more skaters

    7.eric koston
    8.jamie thomas
    9.jon allie
    10.lance mountain
    11.steve berra
    12.marc johnson
    13.ed templton
    14.billy marks
    15.garret hill
    16. a tribute character for shane cross
    17.antwan dickson
    18.robbie mckinly
    19. jereme rogers

    i also think if the second game is made there sould be several differrent cities so we arent limied to a single a city

    also i read one of the previous comments about board wear and tear to add to that i think you should be able to get flat spots and blow bearings and also ripped clothing and if these i deas were already mentioned then i second those i deas

  63. 4 words two player free skate

  64. More clothes. Some stuff other than t-shirts, jeans, trucker caps and ugly skate shoes [yes I know it's a skating game but come on! Where are the Chuck Taylors!]

  65. all i want to do is grind big hand rails, the rails in the first game are all too short and steep, i don’t feel like i have big huevos when i skate dinky things like that, plus you slow down the further you grind down the rail, aren’t you supposed to go faster? gravity? GIMME BIG RAILS… also some grass gaps please,

  66. i like a lot of these ideas, such as

    - board breaking/wear and tear

    - walking up stairs (i think jumping and climbing would be too much like tony hawk)

    - fisheye lens would be sick

    - owning an apartment/house to buy shit for instead of living out of a backpack would be cool too, but maybe a little much.

    - busses would be cool, but i dont know about taxis

    - party play freeskate is a good one

    - importing different skating clips from different spots to make one big video

    - day/night skating

    - skating demos

    - i dont know about stalls, handplants, bonelesses, and all that shit..i think the trickbook is fine the way it is

    - more multiplayer games, such as instead of playing S.K.A.T.E. you can play G.R.I.N.D. on certain rails, that would be awesome

    otherwise the game is perfect and definetly my favorite game i have ever played, i never get sick of it!

  67. Having a bit of golden age skating would be AWESOME!

    Classic boards from Powell, Dogtown, Santa Cruz.

    Let us revisit the legendary skateparks..Upland, Marina, Oasis.

  68. so i was just playing Skate and was getting at angry when my skater tried to wallride when i clearly didnt want him to
    they should fix that!!
    and i like the idea of getting off your board to walk
    i hate having to find a skate-able surface to skate up just to hardflip a set!

  69. What about being able to fight the securityguard with your board or just plain Mike V style? ;)
    Being able to save as many “startpoints”, replays as you want.

    Being able to mark my own area/spot to use in partymode.

    Walk and climb.

    Split screen mode for downhill and freeplay.

    Add my own music

    Add objects to move around: launch, thrashcans and stuff.

    Add my own face.

    Day and Night skating

    Random rain in some areas will make it real slippery. The board will snap easier and wheels roll slower after exiting the rain area.

    ThanX for letting me share my ideas:)

  70. 1. REVERTs – Quicker 180s when going off of rails.

    2. Quicker LATE SHUV IT off of grinds – Not have to pop off…

    3. Be able to choose CAMERA ANGELS when skating/playing.

    4. EXPANDING THE LEVEL after completing missions. In Skate (1) there’s 4 areas, why not start with 3 and later get the 4th. …even better, start with 5 areas and end up with 6.

    5. BUILD OWN SKATE PARK.

    6. LAND ON YOUR FEET if you’re only trying a kickflip and misses…

    7. Increase the speed after landing from rails. The skating speed it’s perfect, but if you’re trying a revert off a grind, sometimes you lose all the speed.

    8. BUY something with all the money. A new park, house or whatever skate-related…
    It’s boring to only buy clothes and new skateboards for all that money we earn.

    9. Put out a lot of OWN MARKERS around the city and choose where you wanna go. They can be displayed on the map for example.

    10. IMPOSSIBLE – be able to do an IMPOSSIBLE.

    11. When you’re doing tricks like NOLLIE BIGSPIN, it says NOLLIE – FS 360 Shuv it 180 on the screen.
    It’s great that in says Lip Slide by the way, when doing one!

    12. Be able to WALK.

    SKATE. are great by the way!

    I WAS a big fan of the Tony Hawk series, but SKATE rules!!!

  71. Ok my list is perfect, so please read.

    Day & Night (camera light/Generators Lights) If games can have flashlights this shouldn’t be too hard.

    Add more tricks! No Comply/Boneless/Forward Flips. Of course the No Comply you should be able to pull off kickflips/treys with them.

    Get off your Board of course..

    And a huge thing!! The filming/Replay Camera angles sucked in Skate 1. You guys overhyped the game up using all these fancy cameras and no cameras compare to the daily clips. So Halo 3 editor, or have a online private session option which enables you to film/turn invisible following your homies. Or the halo 3 camera replay which can do zoom pans/rolling along

    Also make replicas because only like 5 legit replicas were in skate 1, And they were played out within 4 months. Also the handrails none are hard the highest one in the game is like the art gallery 6 stair rail its pathetic common EA is too big of a company lets see improvements.

  72. All those ideas sound great like ams buses houses and walking, but make it for more consolls because i wanted skate but i only have a ps2 n64 ds gamecube and supernintendo because i dont spend all my money on a ps3 or xbox360 and have to live in a trailer park. And putting jamie thomas in the game whoever said that hade a good idea and more punk music because maybe i will be skateing and want to listen to my chemical romance or the dropkick murphys and flatground would be awsome to.

  73. This game is for skateboarding!!! Why do you need to buy a house, or have more clothing. If you are playing this game and you are that worried about the cloths you are wearing, I think thats a sign that you need to put the game down and get a life. The trick list in skate is perfect. There are a few problems with the physics but nothing that huge. I would love to see walking so you can get up stairs, and being able to save locations on the map. PLEASE EA do not put any of that other THPS type stuff in this game. If you want to do front flips and climb builds then play something else.

  74. If they do agree with the walking engine they should add a dropping in system, so you walk onto a halfpipr/quarterpipe and then press a back trigger say RT and he puts the board on the coping then lean the trickstick forwards and he leans down and drops in.

  75. on 2 player mode you shud be able to pick the spot u skate not jus only the 20 spots they give you. like a session marker. and they shud have a minute or 2 just to get as many points you can. like a trick atack in tony hawk.

  76. board breaking sounds awesome
    just being able to like, walk up stairs and stuff
    circuit competitions like dew tour and whatever
    build a skate park or make your own team
    less ugly hats
    being able to travel to new cities
    cars sound really stupid cause its got nothing to do with skating. it sounds alot like THUG
    boneless and flatgrounds
    maybe when you get really awesome you could get sponsored by like nixon or red bull
    something to spend your money on

  77. 1: To be able to do grabs when doing a gring (ex. croock stalefish)

    2: Get of your board.

    3: Day and Night.

    4: Be able to brake the board, and then you have to walk and buy a new one.

  78. ALSO, like all the comments were good, but maybe like jus think of the things you have to do when you actually skateboard, then add this into the game. Also you should be able to have your shoes wear down, and like maybe the career mode stuff is not all fake, and you always don’t land your tricks everytime

  79. if you fall and you don’t break any bones you should have to walk to your board and get back on it. just instantly recovering is really unrealistic…

  80. sorry for the double post, but also it should let you import images and create custom decks

  81. I wish that most of the things you guys have said were in there an that the shoes looked more realistic cuz in the game they llok like clown shoes, i also wish you could change the height/age/gender of the skater and have more freedom as to what they look like

  82. it would be really cool if we can ride bikes in skate….because skateboarding is cool but theres bmxers out there who want to play a bmx game.

  83. i thought skate was a great game. it killed like every tony hawk game ever made after playing skate lol. but it needed more like stuff added to it like the board breaking, walking around and stuff like that. but if skate were to bring a game with bmx then it would have like set the marker for all extreme sports video games. i bmx a little too and if skate had bmx then it was just be like a top seller. cuz look, yu have all these tony hawk games coming out every like 2 weeks, but have yu ever really had a good bmx game that is accurate with all the tricks and pros? i would really love to see skate make a game of bmx cuz then i wouldnt stop playing lol =]

  84. There are lots of great ideas on this site.
    The thing i’m missing is be able to do fingerflips.
    Like when you hold down the right trigger than do a kickflip it would make a fingerflip.
    That would be sweet !

  85. Skate is da best game ever!!! But my only beef with it is you cant put your hats backwards. That would be cool.

  86. Waxing your spots would be tight, but we need a way to do it. hmmmm. Remember Fight Night Round 3? Well, you know when you are cleaning the dude face withe the swab, same veiw/conrols, but some wax and a ledge. (Don’t wax handrails). Also, the Shane Cross I dea, SIICK! That would be so tight. And also, more famous spots! Like Hollywood high, brooklyn banks, and your sponser should have their own training center thing. Like how crailtap does in real life. But one more thing, I’ve noticed a few people have copied fully flared on youtube. That should be a goal. Pick a part from a video, and re-make it. I call dibs on MJ! Marc Johnson, he needs to be in the next game. No ifs, ands, or buts. And 2 more things. Flat spots would be tight, like when you get to many, time for some new wheels yo! And last but not least, keep Sheckler out of this, its to rad for pussies.

  87. i think u should have the abililty to drop in in skate u no press like the y button to put your board on the coping and then pressing y again to drop in also freedom to walk/run. Invert tricks are needed im suprised SKATE. didnt put invert tricks. Now also the falls i mean u fall they go every where its like a puppet being controlled. they should make the falls better. thats pretty much it

  88. i rele want more clothing and more camera options, like a fisheye and stuff

  89. i want to have to skate and make clips to make a sponsor me tape to have to get sponsored.

  90. Me and some of my friends were talking and we were talking about all the different varietys of things we would LOVE to see in the next game for example i will start with clothing because some of the choices arent as expandable as i thought they would have been for example wearing you hats in different directions instead of just forward. And the shoes are all a little to skinny and small so they kinda look like clown shoes so it takes away from the different styles like especially the circa shoes circa is my favorite shoe company and i didnt even want to wear them in the game because they were to unrealistic looking cause like everybody knows circas got some of the widest shoes. Jeans in the jeans maybe be able to wear different colours and more of a selection would be nice … and the spots are fun but i just think some of the most famous spots should have been featured like ” El Toro, CARLSBAD, Love park, etc… And i know this has alot to do with the companys themselves but there was bearly any selection in board setup for example mystery had 3 boaards indy had 3 trucks and there was like wheel company’s that had at the most like 10 wheels like we should be able to have a larger selection. The tricks were over all pretty dope but i thought their would have been an ollie north (one of the coolest tricks)
    now i was so over welmed by ideas floating around in my head so i might have forgot some but if you want more ideas you can e-mail me. P.S these are mearly ideas for the next game because i thought of stuff that me and alot of skaters would have liked to see. These are not to trash the game because i thought the game was phonomenal i just thought these would have been cool ideas for the next game.

    Sincerely

    Khalil!

  91. I like most of the ideas above. What i am expecting in Skate 2 is. . .

    Walking: it really gets annoying when having to ride up a hill just to get to a stair set, or anything.

    Switch skating: using the oppisite sticks to do switch and nollie tricks.

    Board Breaking: From doing big gaps, stairs, ect. Mot just the middle of the board, but the tail and nose ect. Also damage to your board like pressure cracks, cracks, grip tape degradement, chipping.

    Shoe damage: from doing flip tricks and cause your shoes to tare, and shoe laces from ollieing.

    Customize your skater options: More hair styles, facial features, more cloths, and hats. Custom deck graphic maybe. . .

    Day\Night: You get the idea. . .

    Seasonal Changes: Snow, rain, ice, wind, sunny, cloudy. All effecting your skater.

    Join Skate teams\ Make skate teams: doing demos, videos ect.

    Buying places to live: Apartment, houses, mansions. Depending on how much money you have. Also furniture to put in there would be nice.

    Bails: non-overdramitic bails.

    More tricks: Big spins, Big Flips, ect. If you try doing lets say… a fakie big spin in the game it says……. fakie 360 popshuvit 180, but if you look in replay the board seems to do a 540 shuv or 540 flip, but whatever

    Although Rondy Mullen is an amazming freestyle skater, we shouldnt add those kinds of tricks into Skate 2. Its already bad enough that I can manuel for 10min straight, but if there were caspers, truckstands, ect, it would be too much like THPS

    Well thanks for anyone who reads this comment. I hope you like my ideas for Skate 2. PEACE OUT!!!

  92. they should work on the board like wat i mean is like scratches on the boards like u boardslide los of times and still no scratches and also in trucks u no it starts wearing down and ur shoes day should have holes in them wen ever u skateboard u have holes in ur shoes

  93. im gonna name everything i want, or saw off of people that i liked.
    - recording better,
    -more options of buying things, EG
    clothes:gangsta like BBC bape icecream gino grean global(im nameing theese cuz i know them)
    stuff for punk, hard rock, classy like american eagle, stuff like that. and then your regular guy. wearing a blank shirt and just chilling
    -charechter with his own voice, as you choose wch one he has. around 10 different ones AT LEAST.
    -more facial defferences, like what if i want to look like me, or pres bush?
    -create a skatepark in the backyard of your new mansion you just bought.
    -not everytime you win a contest, you win money, gicve it some originality. like, maybe your first contest you win a board, trucks wheels, or evan, some new pair of reds bairings.
    -bigger, or evan more maps. like, vancouver, LA, mexico, who knows evan africa slums?
    -walking up stairs, but not climing. thats a bit to up their with tony hawk games
    - new tricks, like boneless no-comply, handplants, AND the most important. IMPOSSIBLES!!!!!!!!!!!!
    -more pant and shoe brands, they had like 3 pairs of nice pants, i want some choice in the matte of what i wear. shoes, i need more shoes INSIDE the brand. i really wanted some globe focus’s incorperated. more ice-cream shoes. cuz im sure people ;iked the pink ice-cream flips, but i want more than JUST one.
    - not just becomeing a pro, get too am. and evan just a shop rider. like im going to this skateshop, cuz i get 1 free thing everyday. but not from that skateshop, cuz i am not sponserd by that one.
    -longer career. i dont have the game, i go to my friends house to play it. my caeer im almost at thrasher cover, just one more photo. imy other friend rented it. i was up for 2.5 hours, and got to x-games.
    - wear and tear clothes, boards, trucks, wheels, ripped shirts, pants, a bit of shoes, griptape
    -last thing, bbetter hats, not only skate company’s, maybe i want a new LA hat, or NY, or maybe evan a new Boston hat. and also, make them looknice, have a cerain way, were you dont just wear it straight, but get to customize EXACTLY how you want it, like 65% to the left in back, tilted a bit upwards.
    thank you for your time
    :D

  94. I would like to get off the board. More clothing and shoes, and like for pants, id like it if you would be able to choose a different desighn, then you can choose the colour. I think it would be good if you could do more grabs, like a benihanna and i like the board scrathing idea that you have.

  95. skate 2 is going to be a tampa/new york/los angeles hybrid. Los Yormpa? New Tampeles?
    walking, and maybe like an “end line” feature, where the filmer will stop at the top of a gap or set of stairs and you will go down it, like the classic end of a follow-cam line

  96. -PC VERSION
    -Coord from the Board

  97. what i meant by different voices, was get 10 dfferent types of voices you can choose for your skater. like, from england, or gangsta, maybe punk, average guy, i want to choose wich one tho. evan, girls voices to,

  98. the MUST BE NIGHTTIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  99. 2 things would make this game so much better…
    1= BEING ABLE TO WALK!!! i hate riding around and trying to find your way to a place since you cant walk up a stair..
    2= CREATE A PARK!!! i loved this in the tony hawk games and it would be great in skate as well…. people could make what they like to skate, megaramps, skate plazas, parks, realistic things, unrealistic things, whatever.

  100. also it would be nice if you could press a button to make the hall of meat come up when you fall instead of it automatically come up because a lot of times i really don’t care what it has.
    example= Press (triangle) for hall of meat, Press X to skip.

  101. Oh I’m sure Skate 2 will be pretty fun skating. It’s quite the innovation over Tony Hawk. There’s no PS2 (I have a PC and PS2) version most likely because they didn’t do any code optimizations except what was absolutely necessary to release a test version of their Tony Hawk killer. Obviously they are better off releasing for PS2 since there’s 100 million of those things in consumer hands. And they wouldn’t put this test game on a piracy ridden platform because they need money for the official version.

    But like I said, Skate 2 will feature some very kick-butt mechanics that will most likely include grabs, flips, lips, manuals, and grinds. They just have to perfect the vertical mechanics so they can tidy up everything else. By then they will have very good physics, and graphics, and very intuitive controls. I have no doubts about that.

    First EA Skate 2 Information: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uS4OaCDF7mY
    Walking; Time where you can only do certain things at certain times, such as sponsor challenges; Limited weather effects (most likely just graphical); You may be allowed to change your sponsor after a while; More career mode options, longer game, and difficulty settings; Creating a park will be nearly impossible to implement (bad code practices most likely), but you will be able to download parks and boards (or a money milking scheme >_<, would downloads be free?); Ryan Sheckler might switch to Skate; A possible create-a-deck feature, or else just downloadable stuff; Customize the items, probably things like color; More companies, like new era, will be available and more companies will be available depending on which skaters are in the game; There might be some quality reduction to add features (WTF?!); The new city will be New York, Los Angeles and Tampa combined, no confirmed name; More of an urban feel than rural and suburban; You can save the spot you left off in and start there when you come back; A place to hang out, leave your board, save your game, and check your progress; Cut-scenes might be removed so as to add space for other better features; You will be dropped into the game without an in-game tutorial (but with your handy analog sticks :) ); The backpack feature might be removed to improve the physics; You will more realistically take damage to boards and bones; Stamina and resting; Possibility of switchable camera angles; You will be able to place cameras anywhere in a video and record from there. FIn.

  102. Skate 2 should definately have IMPOSSIBLES!

    and some like sal flips and stuff that would be cool

    also walking i hate having to skate all the way round some building just to hardflip a stairset again

    and 2 player freeskate

    also a bigger city , better physics for skatng vert

    and new bail animations i mean there okay but if you miss a heelflip you dont end up dead on the floor cmon EA

    Skate 1 is still the sickest skating game out

    so make it better EA

  103. i know this will sound really wierd, at first… but listen to what i have to say (or read anyway lolz) i reckon that right at the beginnin of the carreer you shud have to learn how to do tricks, or have a san andreas theme, ie. the more you do them, the better you become at them like the more you do ollies, the higher they become. i hope ea take this into account and i know it may be hard, but i was talking to m8s at skwl and they all agreed that would be fun to play.

    and i also agree with the wax curb, walk/run, and recover bad fall ideas. thanxz.

  104. aye, some other things i realized as i read on, i saw that the fingerflip idea looks like it would work really well like when your rolling a long if you wanna do a 360flip fingerflip. then you could press the grab button with whichever hand u wanna use. press up on the left analog stick to tell it that you wanna grab the nose, or down for the tail. and do the same movement on the right analog stick as you would 360flip, ad you’ve done a 360flip fingerflip. that would be sweet, even though it sounds hard to create and explain how to use, but i believe that the makers of skate are clever enough to work it out, also, one of the other ideas is… rather than doin truckstands n stuff. i think if you had that it’d be on the verge to being a sort of tony hawks game. well you should be able to do them sort of tricks, in the air. rather than doin the floor version of casper flip, do the air version. like hospital flips.

    also another idea… may be really childish sounding. and i dont play it any more, but have it like runescape. as in you ca go online and skate ANYWHERE with youre mates and play games of skate n stuff while ppl still around you can watch n stuff but if too many ppl play the game and the maps not big enough, then make different worlds. about 20 different worlds… same map on each world but theres different ppl on each world. and you have youre own house. if no one understands what i mean then go on http://www.runescape.com and look at the worlds it might describe what i mean better than how i did. thanks dudes.

  105. I defintly think some new pros should be added, like chad muska,peter hewitt and tosh townend. and some new shoe comps like vox

  106. i think skate 2 needs……

    better hats like u can rotate them to ur style.

    WALK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    more skate companys.

    u dont catch a trick so perfect u catch it sloppy.

    switch is harder to do, triks arent as high.

    board, trucks, bearings, wheels get worn out and snap.

    the falls look REAL.

    day and night.

    more clothes options.

    it takes awhile to get a trick.

    thanks.

  107. Definately a bail recovery. even if its not recoverable, as long as it looks like he exerts some effort to recover would be nice.

    Now dont get me wrong. I dont mind the way it is now. Its HALARIOUS!!!

    Need to be able to walk/run.

    Multiple Permanate Session Marker ability.

    WAY MORE caharacter creation options.

    Hand plants would be nice.

    ———————–

    The companies and bord customization options were perfect.

    The animations were butter smooth.

    The sketchy landing animations are beautiful.

    The stalls were a sick addition. (great idea)

  108. “Comment by yourmom on March 23, 2008 11:22 am
    skate 2 is going to be a tampa/new york/los angeles hybrid. Los Yormpa? New Tampeles?
    walking, and maybe like an “end line” feature, where the filmer will stop at the top of a gap or set of stairs and you will go down it, like the classic end of a follow-cam line”

    GREAT IDEA SON!!!!! Great idea!

  109. Another option:

    Catch board with an button!

  110. i like th walking thing and cars but u no theres gunna b sum dochebag whoo runs over people and posts it on utoobe thinking hes funny
    but the best idea put out was the actually lerning trix

  111. and definitely street plants those r so hrd in reel life they took me forever 2 lern

  112. You can land big gaps you just have to hold both triggers when you land. It works but it looks pretty lame because you grab both sides of your board. They should make it so you just bend down to brace your fall(who the hell grabs both sides of their board when they land a huge gap?). It would also be nice if they would throw in some cars to buy to drive around in. Like cars from Need for Speed. This might sound ridiculous but it could be cool if you could enter a code if you wanted a car. One last thing couldn’t they add some more SB’s? There’s only like 300 or so nike SB’s. Cool blog by the way and I hope they give a release date for Skate 2 soon.

  113. One more comment about the falling down thing. It does look like you took a bullet in the head. You should be able to brace for falls if their hard and run it off if your moving slow. They should also make some codes for blood and broken bones.

  114. what they should do to make the tricks look more realistic is do a mo-cap of like twenty of each trick (except of like the 360 inwards and 360 hardflips cause like no one can do em) and then when ever you do that trick it randomly cycles through the 20 of em……also walking should be there and boards breaking and gettin damaged enough to need new ones…..but cars would be gay as shit….it would take the purpose out of the game….but if there were less cars and less pedestrians then it would be sweet…if you add all that pointless stuff that you guys have been saying then it just becomes like tony hawk series……oooo multiple cities would be nice too and downloadable content…..a two player (or more players possibly) freeskate……..and have you get more involved into the story like have you character able to talk and interact with people and actually have some conflict instead of havin everything go your way…..this probly wont happen but a park editor would be sweet……and its a sweet game but there are things it can add and make it better

  115. yeah i just commented but i just thought of another thing…..the replays….they need to be a little longer and have a more customizable angle setting…..like having a stationary camera or like the person said earlier having it moving then stop when it gets to a gap of some sort ……….the whole learning tricks idea is cool but useless…everyone already knows how to do stuff….but having the tricks kinda like adapt to your skate style somehow…like if you do a certain trick a lot then have it to where it gets cleaner and cleaner or where you catch it higher or something like that…..also more character clothing, appearance, skate style options like being able to adjust the hats any way you want or adjusting the length of your hair……fingerflips would be kinda cool but a little gay at the same time they would only be cool if you could “turn on figerflip mode” by pressing a button and then the flicking of each trick would be that same but he would just finger flip it….handplants would be gay cause people would do them in dumb spots…like edge of a building or something…..grabbing while grinding would be cool like a crailslide or nosegrab tail slide and same goes for manuals and also being able to do one footed stuff like one foot nose manny and stuff…..having primos and flatland tricks would be dumb cause then its almost like tony hawk….also i would not like have like two part tricks that sounds weird but i mean like hospital flips and stuff…..being able to do like a 360 double flip (like chris cole) or just some how make it where you can have every trick have double flips……also frontside flips need to look more realistic….well tthats all i can think of thanks for reading it ( if you actually read all that)

  116. Make turf skatepark, a tribute to it. I like the demos Idea, but alot of the Ideas on this page will make Skate really unrealistic.

  117. I think that it’s bullshit to have to skate your way around to get to a set,
    they should make it where you could walk and when people get in the way,
    you should be able to get off your board and kick their ass

  118. poop rules

  119. If I could wish for anything for EA Skate 2 to have I would wish for handstands, even more realistic carnage in wrecks (shows the consequences), like road rashes metal pole impalements and spiked fences type of carnage with a serious blood loss sign or fade to red bonus, I had this idea that spot challenges could be upgraded to line challenges in which the skater has to reasonably navigate the line and earn the points. The way I see it is difficult to explain, like the rest of the level is greyed out except the line to skate, winding fast and narrow for 15-30 seconds even super lines at a minute carving paths no wider than the tables or sidewalks or ledges they hit. In my brain its awesome …The trailer pops up and the skater rolls in then he steps off his board “thank God” walks around and jumps onto his board then he sits at a bench or a ledge and shows how he can still pop tricks and do grabs while sitting down. he gets up and stretches his arms out then he does a handstand (or a ninja) flip without ever putting his feet on the ground, he gets cocky and no comply picks up his board does a sprinting acid drop for the mount, pushes three more times and jacks himself up worse than ever before. Thats what I see in my head, that is what I wish for. I bet that is something EA can do. They did so much for the first I just hope it stays true to the art, that zen flow of skateboarding.

  120. One other thing i would like to see is the record mode is a little bland, pretty basic. I want to see more complexity, like keep the camera still while the skater goes by, and putting the clips together to make one big skate video. Just like in the latest tony hawk, thats the only thing they got right

  121. Yo Balls,
    impossibles, hospital flips, different manuals, finger flips, steel cars to go places, idk….. a lot more!

  122. Yo Balls,
    oh yea, it needs 2 player free skate!

  123. Yo Balls,
    you need to be able to choose if you want to be a guy OR a GIRL!

  124. Yo Balls,
    oh crap, choice between kids, teens, and adults!

    more hair styles, clothing options, tilt your hat different ways and styles of hats!

  125. I think when you play skate you sould be able to grind, manuals,and such

  126. U should be able to get all gold board, trucks, wheels, bearings, hard ware, shoes after you beat game. also more shades like the scratch and break board thing nice idea to tilit hat dif ways need more board sponsers like habitat. change sponsers. custom grip tape but not like thps better parks. get stuff from sponsers clothes,boards,shoes,etc custom shape of board guitar chainsaw etc dif background for backpack crap. hidden spots that u have to find on your own. friends list to put to gather sponser vids with other pros on your team. custom sponser cloths. sign autographs when ur famous not just the retard they make you start out with more random not same every time maybe even girl you can choose. no snow or ice. less lagging. also i hate that your wheels cant be the same sponser as your deck. no house maybe appartment not so much about skating thou kinda a bad idea a little gay to be picking out curtains and crap. pros like chad muska 2. more shoe brands and types. the y butten should be an action butten to wax rails mark your own spots for when u play 2 player. start at where u last left off when u turn ur system off. choose bearings and hardware. it matter if u where other sponsers shirts and crap.. walking good idea having body guard to get rid of cops while u skate also help u over fences and stuff. more realistic then tony hawk games… skate is the king but 2 shall be better!

  127. srry 4 2 but no bikes thats to close to thug

  128. srry 4 3 posts but skydiving onto a giant ramp then doing a double flip off another ramp, from airports for the last video that would be sick

  129. I think it would be great if you would have the possibility to buy and place new obstacles in the city (just like in amped 3).

  130. the hats need to actually look real. theyre so gay in the game.

  131. one thing i wont on the game is if you get in a team say plan b with ryan sheckler or pjladd u go on tours around the placxe an yea you hang with your team try an find cool spots with the team an yea. i really want this it would be fun on tour with people chearing you an stuff an with ya team mates

  132. skate is great game. All skate 2 needs to do is stay true to skateboarding and change the goals-instead of doing 10 grinds in 30 secs-nollie back smith a round handrail. Also walking WOULD help, but this should be as far as it goes. Remember SKATE is about skateboarding- nothing else, SKATE was succsesful becuase it was simple, if things are over complicated skate 2 wil be poo juice.

  133. oh yeah split screen would be grand

  134. You need to be able to break your board.

  135. i think you should add mini-story lines of each pro.. to see how the all got started and how they gained fam..

  136. I really think that the most important thing for a Sequel of Skate would be it’s best era which where the 80’s.

    Just imagine playing this game back in the 80’s years! wouldn’t that be freaking amazing?!

    Just to think about it makes me drool!!

    That was the best years for anything related to skateboarding, and where everything good started. The punks, the graffity, the boards, the bands!, the snickers, the colors, the feeling! of the 80’s, the police chase, the Thrashers, the gangs!, the art!, the clothes!, and more!

    And on Boars selection, you can have the option to have old school Skateboards as well as the new style with 2 tails. That way everyone is happy and we can have more variation.

    I have others ideas, but I’m sure they probably have been mentioned before, like better customization, and more good skateboarding places instead of a long downhill, more building to get in, parkings, etc… but the most one I’m really concerned is the 80’s idea.

    It would be the 99% Perfect Skateboarding game.

    Try to play other old school games such as Skate or Die 1 and 2, and watch the movie “Hokus Pokus” (no the witches one) it is basically the best 80’s Skateboarding movie; so you get good 80’s influence.

    And the last thing would be:

    This online modes:

    Ranked- Real Skating
    Unranked- Real Skating

    So people that wants to stay true to Skateboarding can get in there and play for good.

    Thank you very much for supporting ideas from users.

  137. My girlfriend asked me… Why I can’t create a girl!? I don’t want to be a guy!!

    Didn’t they knew that Girls can also skate?

    Then I answered her:

    There is only one Girl playable in the game.

    So… is it to hard to be able to choose Genders so we can create a Girl Skater?

    Thanks.

  138. The “Assassin’s Creed” (people evader) would be nice so we don’t hit pedestrians but push them out of the way or evade them.

  139. just came to my mind…

    I wonder, what if this game becomes a bit Cell Shaded or a bit of Cartoonish, so it’s engine will run like butter, more Smoother, even more fluid and animations would have a LOT of possibilities as well as more space and Les lag.

    If done correctly then this will be really really good.

    Thinking about this mixed with the 80’s idea i gave makes me think it would be so awesome that i better don’t get to exited in case they refuse or dislike this ideas.

    But at least I put my effort.

    Thanks again.

  140. A couple ideas: you should definitely be able to walk around, break your board and have to buy a new one, and they should definitely add the ability to do grinds in skate, cause that would make things way more fun

  141. i think u should be able to drive.like u could take a couple skaters in a car or truck and go to a skate spot

  142. since everyones going on about 2 player free roam
    how about 2 player online career?

    for example
    say you see a really really nice spot
    for example a kinked handrail over a 40 set
    and player 1 needs footage for a magazine
    player 2 gets off his board and gets out his camera, finds where he wants to stand, position yourself correctly, choose the lens.
    player 1 hits the spot, player 2 takes the pictures in quick succession
    and vice versa, also with videos

  143. You should be able to get off your board, do flatland tricks, more multiplayer options, better video editor, lip tricks, impossible, darkslide, it should be harder to grind on a round rail than on a flat bar like in real skating, they should have more companies, especially element (but they’re obviously not gonna put birdhouse), more pro skaters, fall recovery system, more flip tricks (such as 540 shuv-its and double varials), ability to paint a logo to apply to clothing and decks, make your own skate team, longer career mode, REAL megaramp (the one with 2 ramps, like in mega compound), Transworld Skateboarding Magazine, make your own skateparks, more in-depth create-a-skater mode, harder to get money, damage boards, bearings that control speed, WAY more board parts, trucks and bearings can get rusted, Co-Op career like AJ said, and last and least; more different cars

  144. oh and also no comply and boneless

  145. MORE HAIR STYLES

    GET NEW ERA ON THE BAND WAGGON :)

  146. I think the skate should start off as a noob. You have to learn your tricks and practice them to have them good. Harder gaps and grinds. Skate team in career and maybe even multiplayer career. Having to buy new boards and working at a skate shop to get money that will take away from your skating time during the day and having to go sleep at home. Home being on the map and being able to go to bed and chill. Being able to buy new cameras with better quality and being able to buy different lenses. At your house you’ll be able to have your rail in front of your house and have friends come over. Make styles more dramatic or maybe even create-a-style. Add pivots in there in stead of the 180’s and 180 flips gross lookin. This might sound like to much of a Skate Sim but its the reality and we need an amazing skate game.

  147. My ideas for skate2 are

    1. THE WEATHER AND DAYTIME

    2. BOARD DAMAGE

    3.TO LIFT CARS

    4. SAFE LANDING

    5. PLEASE MORE SPOTS FOR ON-LINE MATCHES. ONE WEEK ONLINE gameOFskate and you’re already borred.

    6. MAYBE LIKE GAME PLACED IN 80’s ?

    7. AND THIS IS IMPORTANT…………………… THERE WAS NO SCHEKLER IN SKATE 1 AND IT WAS PERFECT.

    8.TO BE ABLE TO PUT A CAMERA WHEREVER YOU WANT IN REPLAY MODE.

    9. REALLY COOL WOULD BE A FREESKATE ONLINE.

    10. NIGHT SESSION WITH GENERATORS AND LIGHTS

    11.MAYBE EVEN SPRING SUMMER AUTUMN AND WINTER??????????????

    12. EVEN HARDER WAY TO DO TRICKS!

  148. i think there should be a system of actually catchig and landing on the board like click in both analog sticks when you want to land. Lets say you do a kickflip, i think u should watch it flip and when you see the griptape press in both sticks to stick it. I think it will make the game alot more harder and also very interesting.

  149. these people have great ideas for skate 2 i like those two comments and i like about the waxing stuff that will make it sick and get off the board u should also get spots from around thw world like spain or san fransico mabey san degio and u guys have to keep the x games but make it like the real x games the street course will be inside and the mega ramp will be outside at the home depo center and make the street course like the real x games street COUSRE THAT IS LIKE THE SAME THING IN THE REAL X GAMES and we could drive a car so we could go to the skate spots and when u get out u could go to the trunk and get out the skateboard and u will have tools and other stuff and have contests at skate parks oh and have a DEMO to so u could impress the people whos watching it and u guys should make EL TORO now that will be hella sick right there so yeah and make a mini ramp contest to thats sick too u guys should put in HOLLYWOOD 16, UNDER GROUND SPOTS, EL TORO AND LEAP OF FAITH DROP, AND NIGHT SKATING AND MAKE THE DAY JUST LIKE NORMAL SO IT WILL BE MORING THEN AFTERNOON THEN NIGHT AND U COULD SKATE ANYWHERE AND IF U HAVE XBOX LIVE AND IF U WANTED TO PLAY 2 PLAYERS U COULD PLAY XBOX LIVE WITH 2 PLAYER OR UP TO 4 PLAYERS AND U COULD PLAY FREESKATE OR RANK MATCHES OR UNRANK MATCHES WITH OTHER PEOPLE AND THE SPONSERS WILL BE VOX , EMERICA, DC, AND ALL THE THE SPONSER FROM SKATE , ELMENT, ADIO, CREATURE, VANS, FALLEN, DUFFS, ETNIES THAT WILL BE SHIRTS AND SKATEBOARDS ALSO SHOES , AND THE BERRINGS WILL BE ALL THE BONES BERRINGS, ELMENT AND OTHER STUFF AND KEEP THE DANNY WAYS MEGA RAMP BUT PUT A LITTLE BIT MORE STUFF LIKE A STREET COURSE AND PUT ROB DERICK SKATE PARK

  150. THE FIRST FOURTH COMMENTS R PRETTY SICK SO THATS WHAT WE NEED

  151. i think there should be a lot more product options like at least 10-15 of everthing for each company and it would be cool if everytime you did a flip trick it was different and sometimes more sloppy. put stalls in the game. make it so when you do a 270 you dont have to pop off a huge ollie and make it look unrealistic. make it so have to pop close to a rail because a lot of times ill pop like 8 feet away from a handrail and actuall slide all the way down.

  152. i forgot make sure people arent stupid and stand in the way of rails tha your sessioning and deffinenetly make it so we can mark spots we like to skate so we dont have to go find them again. have you guys thought of making a snowboard video game it would be sick ive already got ideas for it.

    by the way i like the kids night session idea with generators thatd be really sick

  153. i would most of the ides they have now put i would like to add:
    difficulty to do tricks wish had insane for people that get bored because is to easy and normal to keep the original
    could like drop in like stand by the half pipe and get in the position
    board damage and it wears out in the tail lose pop cant ollie as high
    night to day change
    tekken graphics
    have bearings so have limits on how fast can push
    when you fall have like automatic hand reflects and rolling out
    have flatland tricks like rodny mullen
    fish eye lens feature so it would look more real
    have this feature when you do stair the guy that is always behind you stop and you do the stair set it will look more real
    walking will the best
    close will rip when you fall a lot then you have to buy a new shirt or pans
    and keep skating the shoes will rip and get wary and lose grip just like in real life
    grip tape loses grip the flip will go out of control and your ollie will suck just like in rea life have to buy new grip take or board
    swhich sponsers when ever put hard to get them
    if you had all those stuff the game will as real as it can get

  154. free skate multieplayer and a online city so that you can play the hole city and not have that tv thing pop up when you go out of bounds

  155. it would be awesome if you could break youre board, so that way, you need to buy a new one, and also would be cool if you could change of sponsor, and like get a new level ( from a bad sponsor to a better one )

  156. OK i think that there should also be a nighttime so if theres a spot that is surrounded by cops during the day and there was absolutely no survelance during the night u could bring a set of lights to session and get some footy. but you would only have a few chances to land the phenomenal trick before the cops got there… you get arrested…. go to jail…pay the huge fine… then do it all over again if u wanted to.

    I also agree on the seasons so that if it was snowing u would have to shovel out a spot to session. and if it was raining it would be slippery so the board would slip out and it would be hard to land tricks.

    Even if ea doesnt put these features in it will still always be better than tony hawk
    TJWES2604

  157. 1. Board brakes
    2. Walking
    3. Darkslides
    4. Falling more realistic
    5. Free roaming in party play
    6.

  158. 6. nothing more. . . .the game is great. . . . and yeah, its a sk8 game, not F@#*ing GTA, Steeling cars? are you serious???

  159. one thing that boethered me alot is that a frontside flip is different then a backside flip. just cause they are both 180 kickflips doesn’t mean they are the same trick. if i do a frontside trick in skate, the person playing me cant do a backside trick and have it count. its not the same trick. diferentiat between f/s and b/s.
    make the tricks a little harder to land. i would love a realistic mode implemented in the game. you know, so you cant 540 inward 360 heelflip melon feeble to 360, 360 flip out. its fun but i want a little more realistic game.

  160. being able to buy a car…and drive to certain spots that would be tight

  161. hey everyone , my name is yannick and i live in belgium. I skate too and i think that in the game should be :
    1- walking
    2- Call your filmer or photoshooter( or both) and you must tell them where they must put there camera’s ^^
    3- your own house ( where you can watch some skatevids or change your clothing or shoes and where your car is )
    4- ams and pro’s ( bryan herman, stefan janoski, rick mccrank and so on !!)
    5- while in a session if you land something cool , the other guys start cheering
    6- Demo’s , contests ( there will be cheering from the crowd and of course filming by the filmers)
    7- if you do a trick off a huge gap ( you don’t get it 1st try(or miss the trick) or the tail,nose,middle snaps , or touch the ground with your hand)
    8- film , get sponserd , demo’s, contest , go pro, while pro you must film a part in the video then edit your part and see the video
    9- if you see skater , that you will ask if you can join them on their session
    10- you can shout if you missed a trick or if the board breaked ^^
    11- your skater isn’t a dummy if he bails :)
    12- you can choose your filmer ( ty evans or more)
    13- skate night and day ( generator at night ^^)
    14- you can push the security out of the way or they can bust you or even arrest you
    15- adobe premiere editing

    this was it ^^

  162. Day/Night (camera lights/lights)

    Getting off your board

    Create a indoor park (all kinds of objects from hubbas to custom handrails)

    better cameras, halo 3 camera, something similar to GTA IV? Something a lot better

    more tricks (no complys, forward flips, boneless, handplants,

  163. the replay editor was a great idea but in skate. 2 i hope to see an enhanced version where you can make full videos and piece different clips together fropm different spets from around the city…add music, video effects to it that would be sick,,,

    and What would be totally sick is if you had your own car to drive around in to get to different spots…that would be dope plz put that in there…

    and more local skate paks…like aactuall skate parks…

    and 1 thing that bothered me was that right out of the gate your character knew all the tricks right off the bat…you land just about everything you try…you shud have to try it a couple of times and the more you do it a certain trick you likelyhood of landing that trick goes up

  164. it would be tight if you had a car that you could drive to different spots in the city….

    3 or 4 different local skateshops to shop at and hangout at…waatch replay…

    it would be cool if you board broke every now and then…and you trucks, bearings and wheels broke and wore down after a while…and you have to buy new ones…and have a variey of brands, and styles…

  165. Create-a-park feature. That would make SKATE Better!!!

  166. OH Yeah. If Each Skater’s tricks looked different, as in each skater having their own style. That would be great.

  167. I feel like this is totally the best game to come out for skating ever. Even better than that old Thrasher game. But you guys are all right some shit needs to change.

    1. You should be able to walk away from sissy bails and not have that stupid damage “Hall of Meat” report.
    2. More clothing. Make the hats look normal and tie dye and headbands.
    3. Skate parks. Different ones. I feel like you should be like, on a team and go on tours and stuff. There should also be like circuit tours like the Dew Tour and stuff.
    4. ADIO
    5. Breakinn the board and board damage.
    6. Clothing Sponsors. Maybe if you get REALLY sick you could get like Mountain Dew or Red Bull or Nixon.
    7. Better music. Less rap and more classic rock and just rock.
    8. Night and Day
    9. Something to spend all that money on. You should be able to like build a skatepark or start a company.
    10. Design your pro board or pro shoe.

    Sorry for being such a whiner. The game is sick.

  168. having a full lineup of nike 6.0s would be sweet

  169. having downloadable content on xbox live that you could buy like as such boards cloths shoes ect. the same stuff is getting boring it really sucks haveing 5 options for each board company you know?

  170. WALLIES (not shitty tony hawk wallride-to-ollies, but forreal definition wallies), POLE JAMS, MINI RAMP TRICKS, FORWARD FLIPS, MORE FLUID LOOKING SPINS (180′S ETC), CRAILSLIDES, MIKE MO CAPALDI

    this is from the mind of a skateboarder not the mind of a video game obsessed fat kid.

    SKATE E’ER DAY

  171. Man all you need is to be able to walk, get rid of that slow motion falling bullshit, just let em fall and get the fuck up….CUZ THAT SLOW MOTION SHIT IS WACK! Board, shoe and clothing damage. Someone said fix the smiths and the feebles….fuck that shit it is perfect the way it is, you just need to step yo game up, shits aint even hard to do pimpin! Another thing was the pedestrians, aint nothing realistic about that. No one is in the way like the game has it setup….Get rid of that shit too. Last but definitely NOT least……GAME OF SKATE! WHAT THE FUCK??! That just needs to be redone all together. Whats up with the frontside and backside shit? and the switch shit? That defeats the purpose of even having that feature on the game. That should be priority number 1, if you dont fix that dont even bother putting that feature back on the game, and if you dont put THAT feature on the game dont even bother comin out with SKATE 2………SERIOUSLY!!!

    These words are coming from people who skateboard on the daily and eat, sleeps and breathes this shit. No bullshit. We skate, no bullshit…..WE SKATE! None of that Tony Hawk bullshit in this game! Thats why we purchase this game because its REALISTIC, so keep it that way!!!!

  172. it would be cool if you could like “load up” to a 180 down stairs. it seems unreal that you ollie ant then turn in the air. great ideas everyone.

  173. and also. is youre hat glued on your head?? DROP THAT F*KING HAT! for example. try riding downhill witha cap on. it dosen’t stay on your head right?? why does it stay on his head? and also. it wouldt be kinda nice to be able to create a female skater. there may not be many female skaters out there but still.

  174. It would be nice if this game could have a little more special spots….. something that is more exotic. Like Norway or something. And i think it would be useful to get nosebonk’s and “no comply’s” and trick’s like that.

  175. I think you should have to get good at tricks. When you start out you could ollie and it would be kinda small then you could get better at it. But with all of the tricks. Also you shouldnt always land every ground trick. Like you wouldnt catch it and not land. I hope skate 2 turns out really great.

  176. i think that the damage meter for the skateboards trucks wheels and shoes is a really good idea. also it would be cool if you put in some sketchy ledges and put skatewax in the store to make the slide better? and the bails were a little overated they should fix that. it would be cool to put in some extra places like famous ones to skate that you can go to after beating the game (like vans skatepark or the krew warehouse)

  177. I’m flowing with ideas for this game.

    -It needs a skate park editor!!!!!! If I had my druthers you would be able to buy a warehouse or something with the money you earn from being pro and put ramps and rails and stuff in it. Or you could purchase safe houses and put skate parks in the backyard. Maybe the further you get the bigger area you can afford to buy and build in. Good incentive to progress in the game.

    -Impossibles could be done by doing a bs shuv flick all the way to the top and then flicking it straight back down again real fast. like drawing a “D” with the stick (goofy)

    -Boneless could be done by grabbing the board early and then flicking an ollie. Or grabbing the board early and then pressing the push button. Foot plants could be done on stuff in mid-air like that too, which would be difficult to get exactly right (thus fun). Maybe even ollie norths and one footed grabs could be done like that too.

    -For hand plants you could grab the board early and use the left/body stick to rotate your body upside down at the top of the lip and grab the lip with the other bumper. Then you could tweak them with the right stick.

    -It should be a little harder to do really high ollies.

    -it would be cool if you had to press the stick to catch your flip tricks. Otherwise they just keep flipping and you lose them, unless you magically land them perfectly, but it will look sloppy. Or you miraculously save them somehow like Bob Burnquist : ) This would allow lots of new tricks like 540 flips or kickflip underflips, fluid looking flip tricks to grabs, ect… because the trick wouldn’t end until you stopped it in one way or another. That would make the game much much harder though.

    -Unlockable skate videos from the pros in the game! Tony Hawk 1, 2, and kind of 3 had the right idea, but for some reason they forgot thats what made the game worth beating, rather than just trying to pretend it was real skating in free-skate mode.

    -Lip tricks, lip grinds need to be more fluid looking. You should actually drop back into ramps but have a little semi-free fall period were your wheels are touching the ramp but you can slide to fakie or revert and so on with more ease.

    -when you 180/360 into a nose/fakie manual you should be able to carry your momentum and complete another 180 in the direction you were just spinning.

    -shoe/board damage = rad… In Thrasher there was a damage meter for the board and if you fell too much your board broke. That was good enough for me.

    -walking/running = must have

    -loading screens for 1 block away = weak

  178. What about when u land wrong on a board and your board snaps……. Why not add that so like if you tryo to kickflip a lot of stairs and land in center of board shouldnt your board snap from all that pressure?

  179. - you should deffinantly be able to walk
    -also you should deffinantly not be able to get 50 feet of air off of a 6 or 7 foot quarter pipe
    - you should make a public transportation system like a buss or something
    - deffinantly switch up the sponsors i could name like 15 differnt sponsers that werent in the game
    - you should also show board damage and have boards break after an unreasonable large drop that would be impossible to land even in a video game
    - next you should make like the charicters friends in the game real pros and ams and the good ones not just like rod dyredek cause he has his own t v show even though hes good get people like mike mo,omar salazar,antwan dixon, stefan janoski, rick howard and defffinantly dennis hoyle
    - take out the loading screens entirely
    -make the flip tricks and styles differnt no kick flip or any trick is exactly the same as another one even if its from the same person
    -uh did i mention put dennis hoyle in the game
    -make the weather change and the time of day
    - get a kick ass skatepark in it
    - but forreal thought the first skate kicked ass juat make the 2nd one better

  180. When doing some tricks like a kickflip bs lipslide the motion in not very realistic asi it first does a complete kickflip and then moves the chracter a 180 to land lipslide. unless you use the left analog stick to turn 180, but it should be able just using the right analog stick. also the stance as it slides doesnt look real when you use the left analog stick to turn because the character doesnt look forward over his shoulder.

  181. Well, i think skate1 is hella sick you did a good job.BUT there needs to be improving like

    1.Walking: you always have to ollie up the stairs or grind.
    2.new bails i mean everytime u miss a trick he just falls he doesnt try catching him self or anything so that could be improved.
    3.SCREW CARS, i mean this isnt gta train should stay its completely fine but if you want to add a bus thats cool
    4.bigger storyline i finished the game the first day.so really dissapointed
    5.keep the tricks you have.
    6.bigger brand selections like more truck,clothing,ADD bearings,wheels,and boards
    7. two player free mode
    8:skateparks, Burnside, DOS,THPRD and some cali ones
    9.no houses or cars like i said no gta shit!
    10.weather effects c’mon!
    11.try not to come out in 09 i mean if thats going to hurt the game nvm come out in 09 but if u guys can try to get the game to come out this summer? or something that would be soo fuckin awesome
    12.more skaters screw ryan sheckler tho

    so umm ea and to everyone that read this comment thank you for your time.
    and i will try to add more ideas if i can think of them.

    e-mail martez503reavis@yahoo.com
    gamertag:martikki4991

  182. There should be some how of way to switch sponsors along the way and be able to make shoes, shirts, pants (etc.) or even start your own skate company. also more sponsors in the game. THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!!!!!!

  183. no handplants
    no one like spending 30 seconds on the edge balancing it just not real all the rest sounds pretty cool sitll
    plus being able to snap the board in the middle and at both tails
    skate park edtor would be amaznig…but none of the crap of jsut pressing a button..getting someone to come build it without tkaing ages of course
    i tinhk you shoud have a house aswell
    plus a night time lmao

  184. I think there should be Jimmy Carlin and Tommy Sandoval in it.
    Keep Chris Cole

  185. I think that you should be able to:
    1.Get Off Your Board And Walk
    2.Tilt Your Hats
    3.Damage Your Board
    4.Damage Your Shoes
    5.Split Screen (Up To 4 Players)
    6.More Local Skaters

    Consider Them
    -Criticism

  186. they should have more guys from girl. mike mo, koston, biebel, all those guys. i think everyone else got most of the stuff that i wanted

  187. U Should have to wear a cast if u break something on ur arm, hand or wrist u should have to ride around with atleast 3 boards incase one breaks u should be able to form teams online make a name and build ur team and be able to skate the entire city in freeskate

  188. ID LIKE TO SEE SOME HEADBANDS, TIGHT JEANS, VANS SHEOS AND RYAN SHECKLER :) ))))))) MORE PLAYER CSTOMASZTION AND GAMEPLAY YES SIR BEST GAME EVER

  189. im going to summarize some of these ideas.

    1.being able to break your board.

    2. safe houses which you can buy skate stuff for.

    3. darkslides. work out the frontside backside stuff. (although i am a fan of rodney mullen and can do freestyle preety well, i just dont see how ea could put freestyle into the game without completely changing the system.)

    4.no cars! but if you need it there should be buses and taxis.

    5. two player.

    6.walking.

    7.better styles of hair and hats.

    8.youtube. if ea and youtube were to partner up so as a noob you could put some videos on youtube and get noticed.

    9.a filmer you can call up.

    10.more sponsers and gear.

    11.more skaters. maybe steal daewon song from tony hawk :) NO SHECKLER!!!

    12.when in vert, you should look like you are in vert, not straight up. you shouldn’t be able to jump 60 feet in the air.

    13. some how make it harder to ollie.

    14. being able to go to competitions around the world.

    15. when you crash you should be able to bail.

    I have more but i am to tired to write them

  190. there should be spots that are in real life such as the wallenberg 4, el toro, monroe and love park. also if there is create a park it should be included in the actual map so it isnt just a seprate thing you have to go to in the menus and you should unlock a plot of land to do it on later in the career.

  191. in the replay editor have so you can move the camera to where you like it not just the 5 angles provided.

  192. ddddddddduuuuuddddeeeeeeeeeess ur going to be sad when they dont add that crap, they dont want to be a tony hawk type game,im sure theyll add walking thats bout it they r making a 2 thats like # 1 sept diff place and some new people , o yeah u see the guy who fallows you in one of the Sk8 2 vids, i would love fo them 2 add everything u guys said but its like making a game of life,also its called SKATE not SKATE and do what eva well pece peeps hope they add that shit………………….

    robby-d is the best. they should also put stuff like yeah get the team togeth and shit well, peacce

  193. walking needs to be there for sure man also maybe more hairstyle and put some tattoo shops so you know u can get tattoos.i maybe also if you can graffiti so while ur playing the game you can just write on walls like the other Tony Hawk game that you could graffiti that was pretty sick i think so yeah thats about it

    pd make career longer

    thanks jorge

  194. i think skate should have a better scenery of the area….yeah san van looked cool but i think they should make look more like the true skater paradise…LA!! oh and yeah they should put ryan sheckler in it too….

  195. make skate 2 so u can walk more tricks bet turning in the air and buy a house in the city more angles

  196. we wanna be able to climb up buildings top get to higher places., being able to drop your board and run faster, able to do finger flips., a type of gang that comes chasing u if u go in there spots….. i recon it’ll be cool if its like that,getting weapons tto beat up gangsta and peds,insted of 5 deif views used for videos and first person view.
    .able to swap boards wit online players and ppl online can record u skating and make films and able do a sex change in a sk8board move were the board jumps in air and then the player does any type of spin thx…=Þ

  197. we wanna be able to graffitii on wall and graffiti by pissing on the wall

  198. we wanna be able to graffitii on wall and more vehicles like bikes scoters motoerbikes mopeheads golf cars and comedy like grannys sk8ing lol for funny glitchs and able to have rigging pieces, and a differnent place…..

  199. BIG ONE! (so no-one else has to add anything) compilation of best ideas from myself and others

    better stroyline, better lookin hats (they look sweet on pros and cruddy on you, why?), better lookin skinny jeans, better range of shoes, (like fallens that dont look emo, like the green chiefs – sick), vans, adio, element, rds, C1RCA COMBAT, krux, toy
    machine, pig wheels, pig wood, hurley, vox, zoo york, deathwish, ripcurl, vision, insight, dustin dollin, tony trujillo, jamie thomas, appleyard, mumford, machnau – that dudes a beast!, braydon szafranski, lutzka, david gonz, lizard king, jake duncombe, tony alva, shane cross’s spirit as a secret char, big black as a playable char, jake brown, ams in shops as well as just random kids, occasionally (eg nyjah, louie lopez, chima ferguson, pat dandy), geoff rowley (yay! Brits!), a better song list (metallica, led zep, ac/dc, the strokes, bloc party), have real bands playing at comps (thrasher sk8 rock!), better cutscenes, and a more fun storyline (the story in THUG 1 was excellent), walking/running BUT NOT climbing and the like, fun and stupid cheats like moon gravity and fat sk8rs, a more varied city, with a ghetto and docks/a waterfront, make it easier to skate ramps, cuz i always accidentaly air out of halfpipes tryin to do frontflips and pumping, old skool and pool shreddin and bert slides and surf turns, a more emotional skater, like look in real mag shots, the skaters sweating and bitin his lip and cheerin when he lands stuff, scream wen u fall, the ability to place the camera wherever the hell you want, cuz when i do fotoshoots, i always hate the angle, and the photo looks cruddy, more realistic bails, the ability to push guards off and to fite em off, have stats so its harder, and make stats really bad when u skatin switch, daewon, real spots (wallenb3rg, LOVE park before it was a bust, brooklyn banks), goals that have a meaning and that are fun like in TH, but still keepin the tight realism, make willy grinds easier! why are they so hard!? theyre like the coolest grind. also, be able to go to cooler places like mountain lookouts, and the dogbowl!!!!! and pivots, and bigflips, and impossibles, and more points for doin stuff switch or fakie, and register gaps like TH, saving session markers, tilt/reverse hats, layered tees, more own the spot, less film goals – evry1 hates em, also make em less specific, board damage, branded jeans, armourdillo skateboards and tees and belts, funky leather jackets, low skinny jeans, vans checkered slipons for chillin, mullen and flatland/freestyle tricks, more hills to bomb (which is why we need mountain lookouts), upload ur own music and add it to replays, day and nite, the ability to go to film premiers and actually watch your part and see evry1 get hyped on it, game harder to beat, bigger city, easier to skate like gaps in diy park and easier to maintain speed and direction in halfpipes and miniramps, also new era hats, LA, NY etc hats as well as SV hats like the regs guy joel has, buy apts, houses, drink sponsors, at the end you get your own compound skatepark thing like d-way, real photogs like atiba, photos for company ads, longer video things, better band tees, more responsive pedestrians, and create-a modes (create-a-park etc), and more comps like dew tour and wild in the parks n stuff, changing sponsors (did i already say that? this is so long ive forgotten what ive wrote!), bearing sponsors, and thats about it! finally! oh and plz only have sheckler so you can kill him in freeskate.

    THE MOST EPIC COMMENT EVER! BY MR N!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  200. oh and the berrics. i forgot. and better multiplayer and koston and mccrank and marc johnson. and josh rio, chad tim tim BUT NOT BAM. well maybe bam if he stops his crappy tv show. and inverts. and design-a-shoe (like on the converse site) and design-a-deck. sry for being a little whiney b1tch. and hippy jumps/flips. start your own board company too thatd be tight! but it was my idea first!

  201. more skate styles eg daewon song style and stefan jokanski 360 flips
    would be cool is each tricks had 3 different variances which your could purchase for your character. eg daewon 360flips, reynolds frontside sides, kenny reid 5-0s, kosten backside noseblunts

    tweaking out flip tricks, maybe the higher you ollie or tweak button

    better co-ordinations between ollie and rotation, you should’nt be able to rotate once airboard. Would make frontside flip animations more effective, you’d have to time the rotation and ollie flip together. Not sure how this could work with steering. Ideally there should be different speeds of rotation so 360s have a different animation from 180s

    switch style, a slider variable in your character profile, the higher the variable the more the tricks and stance should look reversed

    more camera angles on replays and editing, fisheye and long lens view

  202. Rain, variable weather and all that is fine as long it’s not so dark you can bearly see the player.. I HATE playing GTA IV at night-time, because you can’t see anything!

    And more damage sounds interresting, like if you bail of a 6 feet ledge and land on your arm, it will snap and you can see it’s 180 degrees around.. Caps, shoes and stuff should come of when you bail hard.. I’m tired of seeing that cap constantly on his head. If people don’t like that, EA could just put some switch to turn it on and off. And also if you have bailed, the player will instead of jumping onto a new frame back on the board, the player could run after his board and if he loses his cap, he will bend down and put it back on..

    Wearing is a must in skate. 2. One board doesn’t last trought your whole carrer..

    And no jumping.. It’s just too stupid. Walkin is okay, but jumping is just gay..

  203. and mabye in the intro movie,dont show something that isnt in the game. in the first intro movie, he got hit by a bus right? but think about it. hav you ever seen a bus in the game?? nope right.

  204. YOU KNOW THAT WOULD BE SO SICK THAT YOU WILL BROKE YOUR BOARD MIDDLE OF THE SESSION AND YOU HAVE TO RUN TO SHOP AND BUY A NEW ONE! SO GREAT IM SO WAITING FOR THIS GAME

  205. AND I HOPE RYAN STICKIN SHECKLER IS IN :D ALSO SOME VANS SHOES! MORE CUSTOMIAZTION LIKE FACE AND ALL KIND THAT I LOVED SKATE 1 AND SKATE 2 I WILL DEFENETLY PRE-ORDER

  206. yo having some jobs to video tape some of the other skaters around town, like if you see a guy you could follow him and tape, walking, maybe a house, shoe, board, bearing damage also if you do to many reverts you should get some flat spots on your wheels and have to buy new ones, also better physics on going back into transitions after grinding the coping.

  207. all you haters i dont care how you answer this but better skaters like sheckler or lutzka.

  208. there should be were u can get off the skate board, so u dont nee d a ramp to try a jump again. the wax thing is a good idea, so you can grind something btr. u should be able to roll up ur sleeves.

  209. i think they are good ideas but i don’t mind about inverts i don’t really like them tricks anyway but some lip tricks would be good e.g rock to fakie, blunt, axle stall etc and you should be able to acid drop and drop in

  210. i just saw another comment the one with going on tour with your team that would be good

  211. Just one word: CATCH-BUTTON!!!!!
    I mean, really, how realistic would it be, if u can catch whenever u want? just think about, catching the board upsid down on a rail, and u darkslide! kickflip onto a ledge, catch at quarter of spin, slide primo! kickflip and catch halfway, land manual, and u´d have a casper O.o
    well, I know, this is nuttin´ necessary, but I think, this would bring more variety to the game ^^
    ps: think for example about 540flips ;o)

  212. i would like more things you can do if youre sponsored . like team tours and i want to see my video part into a complete (2 or 3min) video. i dont think that real skatevideos are filmed by yourself i think you shuld drive to a spot and do about 5 diffent tricks with your sponsores film team an your teammates.

  213. Well, I saw part 1, part 2 and part 3 and all of them were great… But you forgot at least one thing, well, EA could bring more skaters to the game, like Tony Hawk, Rodney Mullen, Ryan Sheckler ( I know that tony hawk`s serie is bad and an enemy for the EA “army” but it would be great more skaters).

    Later

  214. Add famous skate spots in Skate 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  215. the thing that sucks that you cant get of your board and that its not going to be like tonyhawks adrenaline where you actually use a board and connect to the sytem and you have to do a like a ollie so your skater could what you do

  216. you should be able to skate stoned. that would be sickkk. and it would be like all trippy and shit. also they need to have real spots like el toro, hollywood high, wallenberg, love, brookyln banks, barcelona beach, macba, and the 25 that ali boulala owned himself on.

  217. quizmaster has good ass ideas and so does everyone else but the people who say tony hawk shit and confidence meter shit are lame

  218. hey if Ludtzka is going to be in this next game then im not gunna buy it

  219. Lutzka**(aka Fagit)

  220. damm this is a long blog, you guys probly dont have anywhere near enough time to read through these cos i certainly dont and i might be repeating myself but it seems most of the things i wanted to be in skate 2 are makin their way in there was just two things i wanna see plus the already mentioned extras:

    1.) ability to skitch on the back of vehicles, surely the biggest urge in open world skate game?

    &:

    2.) proper physical damage, dunno bout you guys but i’ve messed myself up pretty good a few time skatin and i think they should reflect that, full on face gnar when you stack into a wall or clip your head on a rail or lip, also perhaps broken arms with casts which can shatter if you hit it too many times doing more damage? black eyes, bloody noses, head plaster, neck braces etc, broken legs would require some time in hospital which you could skip through or something dunno maybe a mini game? I WANT TO SEE BLOOOODDD!!!! the hall of meat would be completely transformed!

    1 more:

    3.) graff it up baby!!! custom spray your own decks and tag local spots aka forza motorsport 2

    so yes please those two (3) and you will have a slave for life

  221. ok u guys say hand plants wud be gay but u guys dont know theres innovative skaters out there that can do hand plants on anything and stuff so most of the stuff they put in there is and wud be realistic jus not to everyones knowlege and 360 hard flips 360 inward heels also people do for instance jimmy carlin did them in a line and other people have done 360 inward heels but i think how in sakte 1 how u grab the board and if u go off a ledge or ramp its like an early grab like thing well they shud make it so u can pop it cause ican early grab on flat and pop it over 3 decks so thats my suggestion and bonelesses and no-complys and handplants are already being incorporated into the game jus look up the trailer on youtube

  222. i think that they should add different stance types, and some are unlockable throughout the game and you kinda start off with a sloppy stance, and also it affects how you play online. also you should be able to create your own “own the spot” area and skate it up with your friends. Oh and same console 4 player free skate.

  223. i really think you need to make handrails bigger

  224. i think skate 2
    should feature stuff like…

    being able to walk obv
    the fact that you can grab things that aint bolted down is a gd idea
    i think buying a house is a bit over the top its skate not gta…
    lol i think you get wayy to much money in ea skate 1 so
    maybe less money or more stuff to spend your money on
    like if your board brakes you have 2 pay for a cab to the skateshop and buy a new 1
    unless your sponsored and get it for free…
    make the story line alot more in depth
    and give the player more choices
    like have skate comps come up in your local area or somthing
    and if you miss them sponsors come down tight on you and
    say you gota do over time and night skate like
    having bolt cutters would be awesome…
    so say like some buildings like a school they got locked up at night
    so you would have to use bolt cutters to brake a lock get in the school then
    camera man sets up some rv lights and you maybe wax a curb or somthin and get some sick footage
    and i think secrity should be increased theres alot of places that still dont allow
    skaters…..
    so there should defo be more
    and maybe even police so you get caught and gota pay a fine..
    kinda like the 1st one
    shoes rippin up and boards snappin are great idea’s
    i think there should be more indoor outdoor skate parks and if
    you go in a indoor skatepark
    your made to wear a helmet pro or not…
    and have weather affects like rain so when its rainnin its like
    hard as shit to land anythin with out slippin off
    also include that into the story mode if its bad weather out you gota
    go to a indoor skatepark …..
    i like the idea they have added
    goofy vs regular :)
    think they should add the
    es game of skate comp in aswell
    also make the game of skate alot more realistic
    actually have flatground like in rea llife….
    but also have others with mini stair sets where you can use grabs and grinds in
    a game of skate…..
    make the online world alot more open ….
    maybe even have the choice to let people join into your story mode..
    so you can get some doubles footage with friends…..
    getting more transport is good like taxi’s buses and obv having to pay for them
    make your sponsors actually need you more instead of like just get sponsored get 1 pic done and 1 vid and your done…
    id really REALLY LIKE TO SEE THIS IN EA SKATE 2 ONLINE!

    ONLINE!

    SKATE TEAMS!!!!!!!!!

    PLEASE!!!!!!

    would be awesome so you have to do seperate parts at times then other times
    maybe skate with a member of your online team ….
    and if you dont do clips for your skate team online your team can
    vote to kick you out…
    or you will dont get asked to do footage as much with your team cause
    you always fail deadlines…
    fix the phyics like instead of havin ur skater fall on ground all time over nothin
    have realistic reactions
    have the choice to use pros on the online freeskate…
    not on ranked events though you have to been your own skater for that
    have downloadable content aswell like i dno maybe few new pro’s
    ive seen the offical line up kind of gutted jermeme rodgers or ryan sheckler didn’t make it in….

    lol and for future reference DONT PUT BAM MARGERA IN EA SKATE!!!
    HES THE BIGGEST POSER FAG IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    THE GAMES FOR REAL SKATERS

    NOT POSER WANA BE CUNTS!

    and as a skater in real life i love this game

    and cant wait for number to obv i have more ideas
    but think people have touched up on them like
    the more tricks flatland stuff ect ect

  225. other idea’s

    people are like oh lets have houses and cars :|
    thats a stupid idea but the idea of maybe having a skateshop with a built in skatepark
    as your safehouse would be a sick idea

    have more cut scenes in the story mode
    ive already touched up on sayin make it more in depth
    but aswell as making it in depeth you have to the keep the player on the edge of their seats and wantin to go through the whole thing :P
    make tricks alot harder to land…
    like some of the things in skate do take you a while 2 get down like i think even now
    theres still 1 grab i haven’t done
    and as a proper skater in real life
    i dont like the fact you got this shit like the pop glitch on ea skate 1
    so take them kinda things out
    and make it so its hard for tony hawk game bummers can’t do all these stupid arse tricks.,
    like a fuckin 360flip to manual to hardflip to nose manual
    I NEVER!!
    &
    I MEAN EVER!
    play spot battle anymore cause its just full of tony hawk bummers with shit loads of stupid combo’s tha cant be done in real life….
    so i just play the game of skate cause that actually takes real skill and effort
    and its true to skateing
    but the set out of it should be real like on flatground not jumping over stairs..
    and shit
    use that for the gvr online ;]
    i mentioned the online skate teams would be really awesome if you made them
    and would open a whole new sence of bringing people together and bouncin idea’s off each other so they can get a sick film done and be the best skate team…

    defo way more freedom in the way your skater looks
    from boards to clothes ect ect

    allow people in free skate to like join together and use the feature where you can move things like a table and have skaters join together say like 2 3 or 4
    and more heavier shit like maybe if your in some slums place and you see a burnt out car you can be online like yo bro check out burnt out car i seen a kicker earlier
    lets move this car over here then il go grab that kicker and drag it near the car so we an hit a grind off it or somthin like that…

    also include simple things like online use the feature games like
    rainbow six do when ur online and talk through your mic your actual
    virutal persons mouth moves…

    online freeskate needs 2 be way more open and less laggy
    its annoying as shit on how long you have to wait 2 enter a game then you get in the game and find out its got serious shit lag and makes it all slow mo…
    and maybe still have normal civians around online ?!?!?
    so when ur like skateing down town ul still see secrity …
    and peds
    and if you wana skate a spot and its guarded get ur friend 2 go over and distract the guard while you skate the spot…
    also when you enter a spot thats being guarded
    if you step off your board they dont come after you but if
    you skate the spot and see you skated it and then you get off ur board and try act normal they should come after you…

    make new san van just as realistic as 1st game
    not stupid tony hawk weird shit….
    like …

    (mini ramps & hoops in middle of the city)

    make switch and fakie tricks harder to land

    obv you will have shit loads more tricks :]]

    on replay editer

    let your clips be as long as like maybe 2 3 mins ?
    if not max of 5 mins
    and then that will give you enough to do a full line ;D
    or maybe even let us take differant parts of footage
    and blend them together to make a sick lil vid…
    let us upload more footage aswell i had like about 7 or 8 sick peaces of footage always on ea skate 1 and then could only put 3 up that kinda sucked tbf :\
    i know you got full free roam camera’s now so thats obv gona be way better
    for the replays themselfs an pictures

    I REALLY REALLY DO SUGGEST THE WEATHER FEATURE

    OF STUFF LIKE…

    rain… (makes it harder to skate and easier to bail)

    Night time (get bolt cutters crack a chain open on school site put rv lights up)
    & if police see you maybe get chased or somthin ?
    and if you get caught pay a serious fine bigger then the 1s you got on skate 1 ?

    also if theres guards just like watchin a buildin where theres a sick rail maybe put in the idea of being able to go over and give em a lil cash n say let me hit this spot few more times i got footage to do….

    also story line maybe at start when your person comes back and isn’t
    as good at skatein if you go into a team which you obv should have to wirh sponsors and that…

    when you 1st start out dont make it all about you have other pro’s invovled so
    like you don’t jus come back and all of the sudden your still the best skater in the world
    you come back and people are rippin shit up
    and pro’s on your team are gettin more fans bigger pay checks and more opertunitys
    while your just gettin asked to do a few small time things at start then the bigger and better you get and the more demo’s you skate the more ur known
    and actually let us place 1st 2nd or 3rd in comps not just 1st all the time

    and let that affect your fan support and rep…

    if you skate well in demo’s and pull of sick lines and clean tricks
    you get asked to do more photo shoots and shoot more footy
    but if you do a bit crap and you manage to stay in top 10 but at like
    6th 7th 8th

    then you dont get asked to do photo shoots and footage
    for your team or for mags cause you skate sloppy

    have dlc ?

    like be able to download latest boards
    and clothes if you want ?
    maybe some new brands to like
    famou$ ?
    toymachine ?

    have sections online aswell
    for your video’s
    so maybe have a section for funny vids ?
    cause im sick of seeing the best video
    of being a dude jumpin off a buildin and hangin himself off a sign or
    seeing some dude lookin like he is gettin sucked off by a old women…

    so add a funniest video section or somthin ?

    and maybe most outragous trick ?

    for all them people who like 2 do simple crap tricks like christ air backflips
    then for real skaters like me and loads others have sections like best
    skate line…

  226. i think a good new feature would be breaking your skateboard. Its more lifelike. I mean really, breaking your legs but your skateboard is still fine? That doesnt make sense to me.

  227. being able to style your ollies would be good. you dont want everyone to ollie the same. And being able to catch the board when u want would be cool too

  228. -different camera angles (fisheye view, etc
    -NO FLATLAND SHIT thats gay. probably 0.5 percent of all skaters do flatland crap. thats gay
    -keep the s.k.a.t.e. the same
    -mike mo, nuff said
    -maybe MJ
    -having the ability to catch your tricks at different times with your feet (exaggerated tre’s etc)

  229. Static F-ing replay camera!

  230. Hippy jumps, flips? That would give a new aspect to objects, and maybe if you could move ramps around, something like the rigger thing in thpg.
