Time For the Wishlist Part 2
Partymode
A party mode with speedboarding and slalom skateboarding would be really fun.
There was a little bit of downhill skating in Skate, but not with a longboard. That was very disappointing to me. So I’d like them to add more skateboard types to the game like longboards, speedboards and slalom skateboards. I don’t think it should be some how a part of the singleplayer career mode but it should be added to party-mode.
The Career Mode
I found it lacking ALOT of stuff. I don’t think I even saw a skateboard park contest anywhere in the game, or they had so few that I totally forgot about them. Well now when I think about it, there was two or maybe three?
More “local” skateboard contests would be nice. Like you start of the career by joining small local skateboard contests trying to earn some money so you can travel to other cities and countries to skate in bigger skateboard contests. And when you have won a lot of contests you get called by sponsors that try to sign you for their team. Then when your signed by a sponsor then skateboard magazines get up their eyes for you just like in the first game.
There should still be a big open city that you live in, but you should be able to travel to other cities and countries. Then the money part can have a meaning too. Because your gonna have to pay for all the traveling.
Gameplay
The camera in this game is fun for the most part, but I wouldn’t mind another view that’s a bit father away from the skater so you don’t skate into everything, that would make the gameplay alot better.
I’m also missing darkslides from the grinds. If there was a way to get this into the controls then that would be awesome. For those who don’t know what a darkslide is, it’s when you grind on your griptape.
Graphics & Presentation
So I picked Zero as my board sponsor, only to then find out they just gave me 5 skateboards. There should at least be 10 skateboards from every company. Also why is there no shirt sponsors?
I’d also like to be able to pick my own griptape from colors, cut-out art to art prints. The griptape is the part of the board that’s personal to the skater. I always used my key to write stuff on the griptape when I was skating.

Maybe more boards/products will be added as downloadable content?
My extra to that list is the ability to take better resolution screenshots!
They are really pathetic at the moment!
i think that there should be more stuff with being able to do land tricks. and more stalls. more stuff with the board. or stuff with like doing tricks where you pick up the board and do a spin and drop it again. stuff like that would be awesome.
At the area just opposite the skate shop (i forget the name – the one with the 2 boots/legs as the logo) there is 2 massive half pipes next to each other made from marble or something similar.
I spent a long time trying to perfect rolling up one and doing a nose stall/nose pick at the top. In the end I just gave up.
Something like that would be nice.
What will they use the Y button (on XBox360) for? Its begging to be used for something!
Probably spraying graffiti or punching people, if other skating games are something to go by!!
oh yeah, my final idea is that the store should hook up to the internet and have the creators make more clothing so you can download a package from your favorite stores and brands and then buy it in the game
and finally: weather and wind. not the temp, but the wind speed and rain should occur every now and then. days should be as long as days, though. it would be neat if a game, for the first time, could be day durring the day, and then night at night.
>Night Skating as well as day skating
>Different camera angles (maybe buy new cameras and accesories as you go along in the career)
>A way to do freestyle, flatground tricks (Maybe use the Y button to get into it, Tao)
>Be able to save all your clips, then at the end of the game put into one movie and mix music with it by either saved music from your hardrive, iPod, flashdrive, or maybe some new xbox music marketplace
>(I don’t know if anyone will understand this) Make it so tricks aren’t bonded to the motion, like the motion has to be so perfect (or almost perfect) in order to land the trick, and anything in between will make you bail, or just have you land, litterally named, “Flip Trick”
>Career mode takes you from some suburb in San Vanelona as your home town, but then as you become more famous, you travel to the main parts of big cities like Tampa, New York, Boston, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, etc., and then go to Vancover for like a demo and comp, then go over to Europe for filiming, comps, and demos
>After you become a Pro and/or best skater of the year, make it so there are still some challanges to do in the game that just get you money, but not progress, like in Spider-man 2 the game. Like demos, or photo shoots
>Walking HAS to be added for the purpose of getting out of awkward situations (like if you land between the funbox and wall at the x-games) and so that you can acctually take in the scenery and realize how many stairs are on a set so you can brag about what you gapped over
>Like Youtube, make the video editor able to add info and title your media when you upload
>Loading time needs to speed up
>There aren’t a lot of glitches, but this one glitch when you respaun and just start to float randomly has happened to me twice since september 14th.
skate is a great game but a few things i would like to see for skate 2 :
more options in party play mode- jams, contests, split screen freeskate just to name a few..
better spot battles. spot battles are one of my favorite parts of the game but many of them are awkward and not too fun. you should be able to pick your own spot for a spot battle as well.
some way to get off the board and walk around, i have spent some time getting out of odd places that made me want to smash this game.
a few tricks are missing also-impossible, darkslides, fingerflips and a few others.
and finally something has to give with the scoring system. i get so frustrated when i throw down a 360 flip to nose blunt hardflip out only to be beaten by a 360 pop shoveit??man it drives me insane. make the scoring more realistic.
Hi, my name is disman-kl, i like your site and i ll be back
it seems that u want to make the game more like tony hawks, and i dont agree with that. the party idea makes skate more of an arcade game, which is what tony hawks was. plus the idea to have stupid tricks like darkslides is just unneccessary, it is so rarely done in real skateboarding, and when it is its only done on a box, almost never on a rail. the idea to have custom griptape is also silly. watch a skate vid, how many skaters actually have their griptape customised. u will find very few, its only little kids who try to customise their grip, because in the end it only looses grip. plus think about it. how many decks do companies like zero make a year, now think about how many of those models a skater would use. i think skate got it about right.
skate is more about realism than cstomizing everything
I think YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET OFF YOUR STUPID SKATEBOARD SO YOU CAN GET UP A SET. How are you supposed to skate some good sets if you cannot even get to the top of them?
Here are the things I’d like to see. Sorry if the list goes on abit.:
- 2 Player Free Skate
Something I really missed from the tony hawks games was the 2 player freeskate mode. When I bought this game and first loaded it up me and a friend thought It would be fun to just have a 2 player free skate just to get used to the game. Instead we were given the option to have a game of skate. 2 Player free skate is something that they need to put in.
- Ability To Walk
This little addition would improve the game so much. It seems like forever im getting stuck inbetween objects. Not only that, some of the best stairs and rails are almost impossilbe to get to. This is something that deseves to be in this game.
- The Enviroment
This is something that would make the game very cool and alot more realistic. My first thought coming frm this is a periods and times of the day. This one could be layed out like this(and could be montired from a watch on your player by pressing a button):
12am-4pm(Daytime): Around this time the sun is out and 35% percent of the population is around. Its not to busy around the streets as most people are at work. Law enforcement are hard at work to keep you off of the no limits areas.
4pm-7pm(Evening): This is the peak time for traffic and is very busy. Skating around the city is dangerous and isnt a good idea. The skate parks become full of wannabe skaters. Time to strut your stuff and show em what you got.
7pm-11pm(Nightime): Its now getting dark around the city. Street/Skatepark nights now come on. The skate parks become empty and you are free to skate without the little skaters getting in your way. Skating around the city is easier as most people are now asleep. Just watch out for the gangs of yobs. These guys hate skaters, and will try to give you a beating.
11pm: Once this time is reached a message will appear informing you that your skater is tired and wants to get some sleep. This message should only appear when you having stopped moving…having the message come up mid trick could case problems and get get annoying. ONce you have slept your skater will awake ready for the day ahead. The time he wakes up is varied…Anything form 6am to 12am. It would be cool if for every hour later he awoke he said something like “jeez I over slept”.
6am-12am-The city is awaking. People rush to get to work. The streets arent to bad around this time but the city areas can get busy. Skateparks are empty of people.
If think this would make the game alot better and more fun to play. Weather conditions would be cool aswell. Like every so often it rains, making everywhere outdoors slippy and dangerous to skate on. Ice would be cool aswell. I think weather and time should be used in season mode and optionable in freeskate.
- Faster Loading Times
Yep this pretty much speaks for itself.
- Females
Something that SHOULD have been in the last game. They deserve to be in skate 2.
-Season Mode Ideas-
Calender: This would be cool if they include my time/watch idea from above. Having to get to events on time would add I whole new element to the game. You could look at your calender at any time to check on your future events. Check into skate shops for any competitions worth entering to get up your popularity and earn you some money.
Fame: This would be cool. As you start out the game your fame-o-meter would be at zero. Increasing it would help you in many ways. Cheaper items, having people recognize you in the street and having other skaters stop skating to watch you pull off some stuff would be some ways in which fame would come into play. It could also have its bad points. Being late or not turning upto competitions would lose you respect and in some cases could make your skate team fire you. If you happen to be spotted at a skate park and people watch you, make sure not to bail. Bailing in frnt of a crowd would certainly make people wonder why you are so famous when you cant even land a trick.
Yh…if all of them things were included into the game I would buy it 100 times over. we can pray
If the ea team need inspiration for idea of the new skate team they should deffinately not look on the internet what people want, they should go down to there local skate park and just watch the best, they should learn wat real pro skaters are doing, because if they just keep adding weird shit it will end up like tony hawk
i think you should have to grip your own board. If u have ever played fight night round 3 you will understand what i mean (sorry if u havent played so this might not make any sense) when ever u get hurt u have to wipe up blood and pat down black eyes with the right and left sticks. So gripping your board, puting trucks on, and putting wheels together and putting them on should be the same. One last thing is that there should be a clock. So say theres a contest that starts at 12:00 noon. You would have to be there at about 11:50 to get ready etc.. If you miss the time you wont be able to skate in the contest. Another thing is when you get sponsered you should have to skate in promos and get like 5 minuets of footage for a skate video that your sponser is making. Also you should be able to make your own video from the game with your footage and add music from your hardrive or whatever. Last is that switch tricks need to be more accurate. For example, when you do a switch smith it says your doing a willy grind. Well those are some of my ideas for skate 2:)
i think the game is good as it is but you should be able to lern styles like old skool , flat land, vert and street ect. u should be able to get of your board and they should be a shop in your home town as well as uther part in the map and the shop should have a sk8 grope that you can hang around with and take them to diferent spots……
or you could be the owner of the shop trying to make a video and u have to sponser ppl and this could introduce a park editer in to the game because u can make the shops sk8 park
but in the hole im shore skate 2 will be a sick game
Hey hey, look the only things that can honestly be considered are as follows (these are practical considerations):
1) Ability to get off your board (enough said)
2) Some kind of day/night mix (the ppl @ EA are smart enough to figure out how to do this)
3) Female skaters (must’ve been very offensive for females not to be able to play as themselves or for anyone wanting to play as a female; unacceptable in this day and age).
4) A new combo of environments (ie. Skate had elements of San Fran, Barcelona, and Vancouver). Now maybe NYC (or Philly), San Diego (or Miami) and Tokyo (or some place in Europe).
5) Split Screen for 2 players with free skate restricted to a specific area (like the school, Art Gallery, etc) I know an overall freeskate in 2 players would be a framerate disaster so just restrict it by areas.
Other than these, don’t change much else, cus If it does too much it becomes lame….like THPS (ugghhhh lol).
Agreed Island Vibez. But I think flatland tricks like caspers haslam flips and Impossibles should be included in Skate. 2.
there should be some element gear! at the least some element shirts, and all the clothes suck, so they should get some variety. Also, if you have long hair and you wear a hat, you shouldnt look like a fag!
I recon you should put in some acctual skate parks in, so it’s like where really there or some real famous street spots like wallenburg or the big 4 or something
also 2 player free skate
and hoping off the board
Your guy only says 3 words in the whole of skate 1, why not change that a little
1) Ability To Walk!!!
2) PRO BOARD or SHOE)during the career with the players name
helo
Alright Dave, the only problem with your suggestions that I had was the thing about sleeping. I don’t want to put my character to sleep. (Don’t take this personal) It’d be really dumb to play for like 5 minutes, then have to stop for 5 mnutes to put your guy to sleep.
He should always be ready to go.
Another thing I thought of:
When you are pro, you should be able to buy a new house and the backyard should be completely customizable. Basically make your own mega complex or dyrdek apartment. If EA does take this idea, please note that the house thing should NOT!!!! be the biggest part of the game, or even a big part of the game at all.
It should also be able to re-edit, so no matter what you feel like skating in your backyard, it’s already there.
To anyone thinking about slow motion stuff: that’s total shit and should not be in the game. ever done a real kickflip? it takes reflexes and timing, you don’t just go into slow mo to “nail the shit.”
My friend thought of this: be able to do park editor, but also upload it like footage so others can skate it.
i would have wished to get rid of 4 tricks and replace them. 360 hardflip, 360 inward heelflip, nollie 360 inward heelflip, and nollie 360 hardflip. I would replace them with impossible, front foot impossible, kiwi flip, and olllie north nobody does 360 hardflip, 360 inward heelflip, nollie 360 inward heelflip, and nollie 360 hardflip anyways. i also dont like the fact that they dont call spins frontside or backside; thats a big disappointment. lastly, they should have put in the trick nicknames (example: bigspin, bigflip, fs flip, bs flip,tre flip. etc.)
The ability to shoot a sequence instead of just one photo. A more east coast type city. Something that resembles NY or Philly. Maybe a Love Park replica like they did with hubba hideout. And def night skating.
There should also be backside and frontside on spins. everytime i play skate against a pro id do a fs flip and he would do a bs flip. also games of skate that includes grabs and grinds.
Bails are a huge part of skating, but on the first skate there was not any realistic bails.
They just become totally loose in bails, when in real world you try not to brake yourself apart.
So the next game has to have more realistic bails and a few ways to bail.
Good luck with the game!!!!
fix the trick animations. frontside flips, backside flips.. they don’t look anything like that in the real life. would be nice to see each trick look a little different with a different skater, personal style? and make skating switch, actually look like you’re skating switch.. backside and frontside needs to be added, especially for games of SKATE when you’re doing a specific trick.. if i were playing the game right now, i could think of more.
I think that you should be able to have more than one sponsor at once. Like Baker and Almost. It would show real skating in real life.
there should be blood , be able to form a skate crew , more decks, more clothing brands, be able to break your deck rip or tear your clothing when you fall, alot more downloadable content and last that your character should be able to get off the board and run or walk.
oh and fix all the glitches
• Be able to walk
• Board can break
• FREESTYLE!
Now, for freestyle, I’ve thought of a system for that. (EA can make it better)
For example – To get into a railstand, you push R3 and L3 + left stick for different type of railstand.
(Yes, you can do primoslides if you do it when you ollie)
And when you’re in a railstand you use the sticks, just like usual. And to switch from TS to HS , you roll the left stick like when you’re doing reverts. And to get to a 50/50 stand from railstand, you maybe hold LB and push R3, and then you can start doing combos from there. And for caspers, you hold down the left stick, like when you’re doing manuals.
Hope this gave you an idea!
Well, I’m sure you could think out something a little better, but maybe this gave you an idea…
Hey….i would like to see better animation on fs flips, being able to get off ur board, pro model shoes, decks and clothing, add impossibles,ollie north and boneless, more options in create a skater, like better hair(maybe be able to download a pic of you and put it on ur skater)
More variety of cities(east coast cities and more real life spots(
FEMALES aswell
i like the idea of being able to pretty much go anywhere and do anything so keep that feature it is a must, walking without skating would be very nice then i would be able to find new places to skate……haha and for added funy maybe you could put in a punching feature to add some violence or something….add blood and scratches or when you break a bone it shows it broken instead of just ragdoll…..i want real falls like when you fall people…real people try to brace themselves and yeah….another added thing is i want to see some primo/rail tricks you know the ones where you can stand on your trucks……also missing some casper flips and darkslides and a multiple of other tricks that would involve using the underside of your board…….more features are needed in the create a skater like hairstyles colors and even faciail features…i like the taunts add more of those…..ability to snap your board or break it…..create a skatepark mode…one that actually has all the nifty little things like benches and stuff along with ramps and slanting sidewalk pieces…………like i said add alot more tricks…..driving in cars motorcycles or even bmx bikes would be a pretty sweet add on. along with different board styles shapes colors blank decks custom grip tape and more deck graphics…more clothing brands and more pants and stuff i mainly used the skiny jeans in it cause all other jeans were stupid….i am looking forward to the second version of skate and i hope you take some of these into consideration
i swear i will praise you if you use some of my ideas
well i always wanted a drop in button which could make vert more real, and like there should be more tricks like christ air(like judo and madonna). it would also be nice if you could wear backwords hats cause i know when im about to throw down big tricks i gotta turn that hat around. more clothes options would be could too. and some how making stalls more realistic.
dude it would be so sick if like u come up with enough cash that u can by ur own house ot apartment and pimp it out u know a place to chill when ur not skating and like if u make it real famous cribs would come to ur house and check it out well maybe not that last part but like buying ur own pad to crash and to watch like some of ur recorded footage
d dunt add all the primo flips and darkslides and shit like that the trick variety is fine the way it is remebr this game is not supposed to be a button masher
I think you should be able to get off of your board and blood should appear when you fall of of your skateboard. Also, when the “Hall of Meat” thing comes up when you break something, it should show your bones inside broken and the scratches and blood outside. The guy should also actually scream when he gets hurt and not fall down like a rag-doll. You should also be able to drive to your favorite skate spots and be able to travel to another city or country.
It would be cool if you could get off of your board and just walk to spots. Also, blood should appear when you fall and then it should show the broken bones you broke. Another thing that would be better is that you should be able to play 2 player free skate. One more thing is that there should be a longer career story and you should be able to travel to other cities and countries. That’s all.
Maybe if you could break your board and have to get a new one
also it would be sweet if you could have your own house or something
actual cops in the game like if your at a no skate zone and they show up you have to run to your safe house or skate away or somethin
it would be cool to get a Bearing sponsership too.
i wish you could accesorize your skater a little more with chains, backwards hats, backpacks, chain wallets shit like that
many good suggestions here. As far as grabbing is concerned, the only grab that i really missed was the benihana grab. Also, tricks like 360 hardflips (etc.) are not tricks that anyone would do, especially not in a line.
More clothing, and hats that doesn’t look stupid! Another camera-angle that is a bit farther away from the player would also be practical.
I think there just a few points to make skate 2 better than the first one:
-Ability to walk!!!
-more tricks
(like darkslide, primo slide, impossible…)
-Day/night change
-weather change
And the important stuff at the end:
The decks REALLY HAVE TO BREAK…
like you jump 5ft down and land on boardslide…the deck have to brake!
I’ve been skating for nine years so I know what this game needs. It needs ability to walk. Changing weather. Custom boards. clothing sponsors. more hair styles. better shoes. AND MOST IMPORTANT Mike Mo Capadli, and Nick McLouth. All the skaters needs their own stlyes and techniques. Every needs to go to the Ea website and send them emails telling them what we want in order to get for game sales. Oh and they need to fix the way u can wear your hats.
man im just going to say that skate is realy a sick game i mean i play it almost every day and to make skate 2 better i think you should be able to walk , snap boards and be able to change camera view some times its werd because you cant even see your head while your skating and like when on the carier i think like once you get famous that you should be able to go on demos and stuff…………….. aslo i think the money issue should be changed once you get at least 5,000 dollars on the game your never gonna run out
skate is badass. i am the master flicker ive beaten rank #1 on s.k.a.t.e. there shouldnt be flatground spots for the s.k.a.t.e. game type and you should be able to set tricks on rails or ledges (just basics: nosegrind, fs blunt, bs smith, etc.) you should be able to mark a spot on your map that you like to skate at so you can find it later. i need a bigger city, this game was very well put together with detail and size but still needs to be larger. i dont care much about the sponsors as much as the actual clothing and details on the skater, we need a much bigger variety of items from each company including different colored shoes, wider decks, smaller decks. most of all what needs to change is choice of professional skaters. get rid of boulala, rattray, busenitz, mckay and kennedy. get some real skaters like brian anderson, johnny layton, geoffrey rowley, andrew reynolds, rick howard, marc johnson, billy marks and justin elderidge. whatever they do, NO CRYAN SHECKLER, that kids a bitch! change of weather, walk or run around off of the board. better named tricks (hurricane, widow maker etc) no spot or death races. more competitions and real filming objectives. remember, i am the master flicker, i have needs too…
1. Get off your board
2. Impossibles, Ollie Norths, Boneless, Benihanas, Fastplants, Handplants, Sal Flips
3. frontside/backside
4. custom session markers that save after game is restarted
5. day/night
6. real spots especially extinct spots like EMB, Animal Chin
-getting off your board, that’s the most important thing,
-ollie norths and foot taps
-skaters such as, Brandon Biebel, Mike Mo Capaldi…
-more realistic cars
- no fake city just real skate spots with their real names and location
- more warehouse type skateparks
- Create a skatepark
- 1 or 2 flatland tricks
- the ability to drop a sponcer and try for a new one
all in all i like the game, best skating game ive ever played
So you people have a wish list if u want all that stuff THEN GO MAKE UR OWN GAME im a big gamer and i’ve done alot of research on SKATE 2 and they ALREADY have it in the works and they r not going to stop just because YOU (the gamer) want ur own opinon put into the game but srry we live in the United States of America were our opinion does not matter and why would u wanna walk ITS A SKATEBOARDING GAME if you wanna walk so bad play TONY HAWK skate is one of the best skateboarding franchises of the year we dont need to take stuff from other skateboarding games just to make a masterpiece my thing is BE HAPPY WITH WHAT THEY PUT IN IT OR DONT BUY IT……..HAVE A NICE DAYY
-get off your board
-hippie jump (jump up while leaving the board rolling on the ground)
-hippie flip (jump up from the board while in the air, like so the board can go under a rail and the skater goes over the rail.)
-handstands, flatland tricks,
-finger flips
-more technical multiplayer, make it so the players can be as far apart as possible and go anywhere like in career mode. Also, the ps3 systems allows up to like controllers to be connected, maybe like 3 or 4 player free skate too? Also, multiplayer career mode, where you AND your friends can have fun getting through the story line together.
-make the grindable surfaces less “forceable.” such as when you ollie near a grindable surface it sort of forces you onto it.
-nighttime, dark but being lit by street lights and cars.
-FEW CARS-i get hit by them like 100 times every time i play
-create a park
-create a deck
oh, and skatekr3w guy, Skate. was designed to be the most realistic skateboarding game ever created, and because we want walking and getting off the board doesn’t mean we are copying tony hawk. Skate is very realistic, and unless you haven’t walked in your entire life, i believe walking is a real thing, a good realistic thing to add to this realistic game…
-more trick reality, because nobody’s perfect, the flips and grabs should look different each time depending on haw quick you do them and if you flick the stick perfectly straight or with a slight slant to it.
CAMERA ANGLE! Isnt this the most important change needed? Nothing more infuriating for me than trying to grind something that you cant even see coming up, ’cause your character is consistently in the line of view.
Also if you’re skating uphill your line of sight is obscured also.
I agree that time of day should be implemented also – not just as a visual aside but should be incorporated in to the gameplay as several people have suggested – like turning up to contests/shoots on time etc.
As for more customisation etc – NO! – get the gameplay bang-on first before worrying about bloody grip-tape cut outs.
My wishlist
- Custom Party-Play spots (the ability to save marked spots into 5 or so different slots, so you can do party play mode at any spot in the gameworld)
- Party-play tournaments (i.e. 3 rounds on each spot, with spots either chosen or randomised)
- Localised multiplayer (playing ranked matches sucks here in Australia)
- “Special” tricks when the green bar is full eg. Haslam’s one footed rail slide in Almost Round 3, darkslides, any of Mullen’s massive range of unique tricks
- Customise skater moves – choose advanced flip tricks and specials
- Imiproved lip tricks on vert and miniramps
-Being able to walk (What is the triangular/Y button used for?)
-Girl Skaters
-Choose size on your clothing (With your right stick or some other shit. when you choose a hat for instance, its way too small for your head you just make it bigger. just the way you like em…)
-Change zoom on your camera (Right now you are too close to the camera it drives me insane cus you cant get a good pick)
-More ramp/pool tricks (Like Stalls and slash grinds+ smoother grinds to transition now when you go back into the ramp you land in flat)
-Drop in ability (If there is any space left for a button…)
-Face/Hair customizing (Now you look pretty much the same whatever changes you make)
-Clothing sponsors
-Board breakage
-Weather/Time changes (environment,cars and people changes during the time of the day)
-Harder to get sponsored (you dont just do a trick in front of a pro and you get sponsored)
-Trick reality (pretty good at the moment but could get a little bit sketchier and depending on how fast you flick it the faster the flip will spin)
-Other skaters than just the pros (many more skaters overall.)
- The avarage people could have a little more inteligence. (Now the people are just standing in your way and when you hit em they will just rise up andcontinue. They could for example go all crazy on you and freak out totaly or just move away the thing is I dont want them to just go around and standing in the way of me doing my tricks. they have to get increased AI!)
More realistic bails (when you fall you dont just sit back and let the pavement make your face turn to jam and fly around and make 500 flips, you´re trying to save yourself.
And a bit of blood and broken limbs cant go wrong… We Want BLOOD!!!)
-Travel (Traveling to foreign countrys is also a big part of proffesional skateboarding so when you go pro you should be able to fly around the world and enter comps and film.)
first off, i love the game i play it everyday me and a big group of my friends get tournaments of games of skate going all the time its gnarly. so i think some good add-ons for skate2 would be,
1. ability to walk
2. female skaters
3. fame meter (so ppl stop and watch you skate spots like in real life)
4. real skate spots and parks like Walenburg, Carlsbad, and the leap of faith ledge,
5. more skaters..MIKE MO, REYNOLDS, LEO ROMERO, SIERRA FELLERS, DUFFEL, ETC.
6. customize your own style and steeze so the way your guy motions his body parts when doing a trick.
7. ability to talk
8. night/day changes and when the day changes the amount of pedestrians and traffic does too.
9. snow, rain, ice, hail, etc.
10. be able to eventually rent an appartment, or when you get famous buy a house and have partys, friends come over, or chicks come over.
11. be able to chill in the skateshop and get groups of other skaters together for a sesh
12. few more tricks, ex. impossible
13. be able to break your board!!!! and the longer you use the same board, the weaker it becomes and the easier it is to snap

go to that link guys theres some official stuff in skate 2 will fulfill alot of our needs
ok someone on here said no death races, that person needs to see themselves out seriously death races are one of the best things in the game!!!! i think they need to expand on that a little bit as well by adding… LONGBOARDS!!!
thats right kiddies, we need to open up the repertoire of boards in the game, longboards would add like a whole subsection to the game for some carving and stuff, completely new bag of tricks when ur on one as well like leans and crouching, carving, sliding, the whole 9, also they should throw in a couple of fish tails as well just for the oldskool mwahah!!!
the injury things looking like a pretty hot topic as well so i think they should also put pads and helmets in there which would protect ur skater to start off with and gradually as u get better u can skate without them adding a bit more risk and skill to the game and showing who the more seasoned skaters are oh yaaaaa…..
I think Dave got it completely right, all his ideas would make the game more realistic and more fun, time of day, weather, fame, its all worth putting in. And for all the people asking, they are putting in darkslides, be able to get off ur board and im pretty sure they doin fingerfilips as well, also they r making it so u can grab ur board wen doing grinds and stuff and u can move objects to where u want them to make the perfect line
i think 180s shuld be b etter cause in the firts one they looked really rigid if you know wat i mean
can u freeskate with 2 people in skate 2 plz respond
