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.

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
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.
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.
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..
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
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.
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
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.
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
ALSO! make the skaters shoes rip up. kinda like the “board damage” thing but “shoe damage” also
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.
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.
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
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
All your ideas will be accepted apart from the dudes above me.
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
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.
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!!!
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….
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
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
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
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….
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)
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
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
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:)
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.

The comments/requsts are making it sound more and more like the Tony Hawk series!
lol..
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
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.
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.
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!
oh and pick at least 3 sponsers not 1
AROOOO!
and instead of picking up a sub go beside a taxi and hitch a ride somewhere.
way quicker..
BAH
If you pick a sponser you can round them up and make a video
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
be able to play 2 player free skate split screen and more realsitic falls
THATS IT
and wallenberg, carlsbad, macba, hollywood 16, wilshir, and set up your own angles for photos
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.
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
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
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
dude, why dont you just play tony hawks?
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.
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!!!
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!
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!
Thanks for postinh
Best idea ever!!!! release it for pc aswell
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
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
— 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.
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.
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
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
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
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!!!
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
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

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
4 words two player free skate
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!]
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,
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!
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.
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!
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:)
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!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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…
sorry for the double post, but also it should let you import images and create custom decks
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
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.
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 =]
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 !
Skate is da best game ever!!! But my only beef with it is you cant put your hats backwards. That would be cool.
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.
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
i rele want more clothing and more camera options, like a fisheye and stuff
i want to have to skate and make clips to make a sponsor me tape to have to get sponsored.
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!
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!!!
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
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
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.
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
-PC VERSION
-Coord from the Board
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,
the MUST BE NIGHTTIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
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.
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
); 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.
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
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
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.
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.
I defintly think some new pros should be added, like chad muska,peter hewitt and tosh townend. and some new shoe comps like vox
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.
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)

GREAT IDEA SON!!!!! Great idea!
Another option:
Catch board with an button!
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
and definitely street plants those r so hrd in reel life they took me forever 2 lern
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.
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.
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
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)
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.
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
poop rules
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.
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
Yo Balls,
impossibles, hospital flips, different manuals, finger flips, steel cars to go places, idk….. a lot more!
Yo Balls,
oh yea, it needs 2 player free skate!
Yo Balls,
you need to be able to choose if you want to be a guy OR a GIRL!
Yo Balls,
oh crap, choice between kids, teens, and adults!
more hair styles, clothing options, tilt your hat different ways and styles of hats!
I think when you play skate you sould be able to grind, manuals,and such
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!
srry 4 2 but no bikes thats to close to thug
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
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).
the hats need to actually look real. theyre so gay in the game.
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
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.
oh yeah split screen would be grand
You need to be able to break your board.
i think you should add mini-story lines of each pro.. to see how the all got started and how they gained fam..
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.

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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
