Time for part 3 of the wishlist
The Career Mode
Like I said in part 2, it would be great if you could travel to other countries and cities to enter skate competitions. Tao posted a comment in my last post that let me to his blog skatergeek.com, and that site let me to EA’s UK forums that had a few ideas that I wanna bring up in my blog too, and also build on.
Theblackrat over at the EA UK forum had an idea for a confidence meter. At first I was thinking he wanted it to be like in the Tony Hawk game, you do a 100x combo and your meter is great and then you fall and your ego is screwed again. But his idea wasn’t like that, he had a smarter idea for this. A confidence meter that progresses under time in your career mode. Like at first your confidence meter is at the bottom, your pretty much a kid with a dream to become a pro skater. So to build your confidence meter up your gonna have to spend time with the game, you can’t just start of and be able to jump the wall of China. You really gonna have to spend time with the game this time around. So here’s my ideas to how to build it up.
So to build your meter up your gonna have to win competitions. You start by entering smaller contests in your hometown and if you win them you earn money to travel and to buy new gear. At first your not gonna win any big money but since the contest is sponsored by the local skate shop your gonna win items like decks, trucks and wheels etc etc. That your gonna need because there’s a skateboard damage system so your gonna break your skateboard sooner or later. And when you have won a lot of the local contests, the skate shop owner is going to become your board sponsor and your friend that is going to help you out under your career mode. He is going to help you out with new decks and clothing etc etc. And he is going to give you tips about other skateboard contests in other cities that you should enter. He is going to act like an agent, help you out to become a pro with sponsors.
The more competitions you win the more your confidence is going to grow, and grow. You can then go out in the big open city and free skate and maybe finally make that jump from that stair you’ve been trying to jump since the start of the game, without breaking your board.
And of course the story is going to go on like that till you have become a pro skater with sponsors, pictures in skateboard magazines etc etc. And then when your done with the “story” mode and all that you can then go out and free skate and really fun.
Please comment and write your thoughts and ideas about this.

I guess a confidence meter is a good idea, but I also think that it is getting away from the main core experience of Skate compared to other titles such as the Tony Hawk series.
I see Skate as a skateboarding sim. You might be able to leap massive gaps and triple kick-flip 540 onto handrails and stuff – but it is more “realistic” than Hawk.
Making the game too complex from a career point of view does remind me of Hawk – with Skater stats getting increased, making you a better skater and able to withstand dropping off a building without your kneecaps exploding.
What you are suggesting sounds a bit like the game controls being hampered somehow – stopping you from ollieing too well – until you get more experience. That would just be a turn off for most people – unless they were not skaters in the first place.
KISS – “keep it simple stupid”.
No no it should be the same control and core experience. Your starting off as a skilled skateboarder, or a less skilled if you didnt play the first game. But the confidence meter will help you land huge jumps later on like you can in the first game from the gecko. It shouldnt be arcade stuff though of course. So it’s gonna be harder to land the big jumps but it should then progress to what you can do it in the game today.
I expect Skate 2 will be the same as this one – just with:
more tricks
more online options
more products
more video editing options
Imaging a massively multiplayer version too! That would be cool. Skate certain areas of the city with loads of skaters at once!
lol..
Was lookin’ for this… I might even
have to throw down a bookmark.

I espect that in ea skate 2 you can do more things with the money (build your own skaatepark)
also it will be interesting that the decks can broke.
the confidence meter is kinda of hard to do, cause some people are self-desturctive, or just really tough (like Mike V) and can just take a fall and get up or just jump a mega ramp even if they’ve never done it before.
maybe they should make it so when you’re trying to hit a spot, you have to warm up, so the first two times you skate it, you bail, but then the third time is the trick and you nail it.
I’m not to sure that the confidence meter will work, maybe . Great idea anyway
i got a few ideas :
Walking, then it will get more easy to go back up the stair you just tries pluss it’s more realistic, that’s what’s this game is all about
A city with Love Park , Macba, EL toro gap included
Big jump course , where it’s gap jumps after each other
Harder to skate switch. you’re tricks is not as high as skating regular, and easier to land sketshy
Make manuals like you can balance them, it’s to easy !
Late tricks should be included in S.K.A.T.E
More new tricks = Kickflip underflip variations, Darkslide, Impossible , Frontfoot impossible, Primo grind, 540 flip, Casper slide, No comply , Casper,
Break boards , if you land sketshy on you’re board down a big stair, then the board should break
Damage boards, so you can see it’s used
Damage shoes, after a while of using the same shoes , they will get holes and get dirty
Make your own graphics on your pro model
special trick when the bar is green, it should be hard to do, and realistic
pardon my writing, im not english.
you got some good ideas Danne. Let’s just hope it will be seen, and added in the next EA skate
the confidence idea seems pretty cool, i was not with it at first until you got to the point where you dont land big tricks because u dont have a enough confidence. a lot of great ideas have been mentioned, board damage (you already get scratches on the bottom of your board from grinding), traveling to exclusive spots. one main thing that i would like to see changed that has not been mentioned is skating style and trick animations.
is it just me or seeing your guy doing the same arm spread like an eagle deal when doing a trick gets a little old when working with your replays. so it would be nice to switch it up a little bit with styles of skating affecting the animation of tricks.
there were defenitley

there is definitely not enough gear. boards, wheels, trucks, clothes. it felt so limited.
and someone mentioned this earlier but skater customization could use a lot of work.
another things that has not been mentioned
there are so many skaters skating around, would it not be cool to be able to interact with them challenge them SKATE or random contests going on. lol i thought i had more ideas when i went to reight this but now my mind is blank.
DOWNLOAD CONTENT FOR SKATE IN THE MEANTIME PLEASE!!!!!!
is it to much to ask??
confidence bar sounds ok but i like the idea of having to warm up at a spot more than that also i would like to see more camera angles and one thing that really disappointed me was that challenges are all still point based i was hoping that this game would drop the whole point system and instead take for instance the filming challenges instead of having to score like 4500 points make it so you have to go out and film a minute long part with certain tricks included and also give you the freedom to throw in some of your own style but just doing a ton of stupid like 540 3flips seems way to lame to me also board damage would be sick i would love to see broken boards, hear the flat spots on your wheels, and even break kingpins or get axle slip
Loads of good ideas going on for the new skate. I hope they’re gonna be like the Half-Life developers and listen to what the fans want. I’m not sure bout the confidence meter or warm up. Mayube I’m reading it wrong, kman5473, but the way its written seems like you have to bail the 1st 2 times then land it 3rd try. I’ve seen skaters take to a spot that they weren’t sure about and land the trick they want 1st time. Again the stat element thats used in THPS just wouldn’t work for the type of game SKATE is. But saying that maybe a variation of it.
No skater when they start out can ollie 3ft and land a 360 flip down a 6 set, so what about a mixture? Meeting other skaters and skating with them helps you to progress. They teach you how to ollie and techniques to make it easier for you. Or just use it as an animation so it’s like your progressing. You have to, say, ollie uuup a kerb like in the first skate but as you progress ollieing becomes second nature and easier the more you do it, as happens in real life, same with flip tircks and grabs.
Also, as has already been said, more in depth video editing options such as the fish-eye lens, I can’t believe they left that out! What about more interactive filming? Like maybe do the run you want bt then you control the camera as another skater so you get the angles you want. Maybe they can use an idea that was in THPG were you place the camera/video-camera were you want it.
The idea for online skate teams and making a team video is awesome, they should definately use that!!
Anyways I’m gonna stop rambling on, just a few ideas let me know what you think, good or bad.
Keep it real and keep on skating!
seigmen has the best ideas, but i disagree with the special tricks, definately some more flat land, sticking to just nose or norm manuals are piss poor, i dont care about online play ill never play it online, so they can do what they want with that, but id like to see a hell of alot more trick variations. more manual variations and darkslides definately. and without fail make the hippie flip a recognised trick, i can burn em nearly anywhere and im the tits you should all love me,
I cant believe no one has mention something that I think could be huge… Maps and a Map editor. Make it more like pc games like unreal, quake, where people can create their own maps and let others download them and skate them. Maybe have your own in game editor where you can build ramps, curbs, etc in an area. So you could use your money to buy realestate and hire guys to build the things in your “skate park” but then you could save that out and let other users ride it online. You could even charge skaters to ride in your park. Now you’ve got a way to make/spend money and take advantage of everyone’s creative building.
Does anybody else think this is a good idea?
Basically have it so that when you flick a kickflip for example, you hold the stick at the top of the flick (as if you were doing a double flip). When you release the stick, your skater brings his legs down and catches it. This would make it more difficult to do tricks, and allows you to catch it upside down for darkslides and on the side for primos.
Wow…i kind of imagined that people thought the same things as me…wow…i wasn’t wrong at all….I think this is all good ideas….in my opinion the confidence meter is ok…but think more of an experience based …”thing” would work better…like you can’t ollie a 20 stair straight off…because i can’t do that….i learned to ollie off curbs then a two set then three….you should have to work yourself up to that big set you find…cruise the town till you find a 10 set or something. then like a 15 some where else.i think it would be cool if your tricks could also get progressivly better…like single kickflips in the beginning…then after you land like 100 or you can get doubles….then triples…and triples are possible on flat so it should be possible in a game. flatland needs to be an option to in my opinion….I don’t now if you ever did nail the trick on hawk but i think flatland should be kind of like that…..you should be able to hold the kickflip lets say 3/4 of a flip to premo…that would make the flip tricks more realistic…and stuff like double varials…360 flip double flips….these need to be possible for more variety in S.K.A.T.E. also….with being able to control the timing of the flip you would beable to stop half flip above rails for darkslide and the “dark manuals”which are possible check out some videos of chris haslam on youtube….hmmmm….well yeah….the turning on the coffin needs to be way tighter also…i have done that in real life and on skate it turns like your bushings are made of butter that never happens like that…..with online play i think there should be two different ways you can go about it also because i just want to skate….i mean the 360 flip 180 switch manual laserf flip 360 out so you can get your 3x up is way too hawk like….i am not really sure how you would capture just a jam session…OH my god…ok…one more thing…S.K.A.T.E. would one billion times better if you had to call the trick…i dont know how many times i have lost against people that flick it at random and spin at random…..i mean…it’s a chalege to copy the trick…but they could be a three year old smacknig buttons and do a laser flip 540 down something and yeah…yeah…that is all i can think of…but i will probably think of more….i hopw this mini book that i wrote will give you some ideas….i have been dreaming of this game all my life….so i have got this all thought out all ready!! later and thank you for your time!!
Personally I think on the second game these need to be on it!….
Walking and running and maybe climbing about. Breaking into places is part of skating.
The environment should change between day and night, some spots should only be sessonable during the night while people have gone. When its night time things are quieter.
Style! They should devise a way to make style in the game, for example if you nail the trick bang on it looks rad but if you get it a bit sloppy it looks ok but not quiet there.
Borads should be broken when you land really harsh and boards wear out over time.
I don’t think a level builder would be good because any game i’ve played on a console with one sucks, just make more interesting areas.
Online mode should have proper comps where people meet to show off.
The replay editor… ok to start you should be able to change the camera to where you want. What would be rad would if you had to position your camera before you did the trick. So you’d do a practice run, set up the camera person and then you do a proper photo sesson. The video would work similar but you set where the guy film you is. I would also like to see the ablity to edit video together to make mini skate vids about 2 to 4 minutes long. Even add music and stuff.
More real life tricks, impossibles, darksides e.c.t, flat land tricks
Make your own pro board and clothing
After all that i must say, EA Skate is probably the best game i’ve ever played! Keep up the good work!
Oh and also, objects like boxes, bins and trolleys should be loose so they can be moved around, push over and stuff.
dan m: dude, I din’t meant like that, sorry for not clarifying
I just mean that it gets easier and easier to nail a spot. like the first time you skate a spot you have to get you’re trick perfect and timing just right. but as you skate the spot more, it gets a lot easier.
Also, thinking on my idea of getting the motion on the analog stick just right, I spawned the idea that when you move the stick to slow or not exagerated enough to the motion, you bail. Not bail as in you completely fall, but catch your self.
For instance: if you try to do a pop shuv-it, the motion is straight down and to the right. with this idea in play, if you move the analog stick too slow or not far enough right, the character’s feet won’t move fast enough or with enough power to do a complete the pop shuv-it.
PLease, if you read this, tell me if you understand this concept.
kman5473 thats a sweet idea for the motion thing btw i had a post here that i posted a couple of days ago anyone know what happened to it?
well heres my ideas again
ey 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 loved ea skate but theres a few things i would have added.
1.choose whatever angle u want for film,not like just 5 angles.
2.get off your board and walk around
3.u know how every grind u do is different,do that with flip tricks
3.if u land sketchy,ur board snaps
4.make balance harder for manuals and grinds
5.give more stuff to choose from for create a skater
6.make time change!!!like morning,afternoon,evening,night and sometimes it should rain and fog
7.and also make it harder for switch stance than regular
I like someone elses idea up there about catching the board with your feet, say you do a kickflip or something instead of the skater just catching the board himself you have to click the right stick down yourself to stomp the trick or something like that anywayz, that would be real intuitive, skate is the best skating game ever and puts tony hawk to shame…can you imagine if say you can fly in an nhl game? thats what tony hawk does with that cheap skateboard game..anywayz, i vote for having to stomp your tricks yourself.
I have a few more ideas for EA Skate 2.
They should make it that when you bail, your skater tries to stop himself from falling and hurting himself, instead of flying around like rag-doll.
I also think that they need to add females to the mix, just to make it fair.
When you are skating around you should be able to challenge any skater to a game of skate, like outruns in NFSU2.
And lastly, with skating switch, the flips should be lower and slower, so its easier to bail them, making it more realistic.
ok so i didnt have time to read them all. so i dont know if this has been said or not.
something i think would be cool is waxing a ledge..
you cant just go out and skate a ledge. you have to wax it up before you use it..
make it so if you try the ledge you stick and bail off. you have to go to our backpack and get out the wax.. be able to wax it wherever you want.
another thing i would like to see.. is a sertain button you press to transfer.. kinda like in THPS4
your supposed to press up on the left stick to air out.. i hate it when im skating a pool or halfpipe and im pumping ( also pressing up)
and i air out when i dont want too.
and make the grinds in pools and halfpipes better.. instead of your guy popping out of the grind.. actually transition back in
i hate when i do a FS grind and it pops out to the flat of the pool
OH
and stairs in the pools.. i wanna be able to carve over some stairs haha
it would be cool if right befor the u reah the top of ur game the agent turns on u and u have to start from scratch.but u meet a pro when ur stuck in the city cuz he took all the money to and he acted as ur agent throughout the rest of the game.just an idea
i think there should be creat a park cuz iv found most of the spots and it kinda get boring.and u can creat ur own team and whe ur like a pro u can make ur own contest.another idea
All of the ideas so far are good, but i think you need to include some British skaters as characters, for example Death skateboards, Horsey from death did one of the ea skate trick challenge things.
I think that they should make it harder to manual because it is way too eay to manual like 100ft, not really that realistic.
I think skate 2 should let u walk and have more tricks like an air walk and be easier to do feebles ans smiths and stuff like that also have a sponsor like krew and go out of the country for demos and stuff like that. Also they should have it to where u can control how fast u flip the board(not like Tony hawk) because Iwhen im trying to flip a set of stairs my board isnt goin to flip instantly through the trick when im on the third stair of a 15 set!!! Also they should put mini ramps in and let me like blunt stall and rock to fakie and stuff. Another thing is the game should let me control where i have my camera man so if im doin a run then on my replay editor i can make him stop on my last trick when im goin down a set of stairs or somthin. Another is they have my favorite companies in there but all the crappy stuff that i dont like thats sold by the company. Oh and more skaters would be sweet, like jereme rogers, stevie williams, sean malto(definently him)greg myers and people like that. Somthin else that would be sweet is if i could do demos with the company that im sponsered by. And with the board sponsors i would never stop plain this game if they let me put my name on board, like have my name and then the logo on the board of my favorite company and pro model shoes etc. etc… But I would be fine with skate 2 if i had a new town new spots, missions people and products oh and TO WALK.
Oh and i thought of somthin else that if we could build our own skate park with all the stuff in it that would be sweet, like start off with barily any space and go to skate comps win get money and move from like a save house or somethin where i can skate in the back yard mini ramp or little skate park and move to bigger or smaller houses with the money i get and build bigger skateparks whre ever at that house too.
sheesh i just keep goin another thing i saw was board damage good idea so when i skate my board gets skratced up only where i skated and my tucks get scratched up too. Another thing that was good was that switch flips should be slower good idea on that one. Break boards too like if u get pissed at the game dont throw ur controller break that flippen board!! And no tony hawk caspers for an hour no one likes 4000000000 point combows screw that!! No confidence meter cuz thats got NOTHING to do with it cuz my confidence has nothing to do wit me landing a tre fllip!!!!!!!! Anyway the style of your guy should be able to be choosen too cuz whos gunna wear a hoody that fits a 5 year old when ur 15 that stuffs gay. Alao let me wear my hat how i want, i mean come ON dude, more hair styles that dont look gay would be good to like shaved head, longer hair without being all parted and straight and crap. puttin my hood up would be sweet to and have some different suize jeans and stuff and let me show off my shoes and not have my jeans completly cover them. Somthin else is have my cloaths and hair move and stuff when im skatin fast or doin a sweet trick. Maybe some more companys like CCS and stuff too. Havin stickers on y board would be sweet so i can advertize my sponsors. But like i said before being anle to do trivks like blunt stall and rock to fakie on a courter pipe, half pipe, and mini ramps and stuff needs to be added. OOOHHHHH and if i could set a kicker down in front of bleechers and stuff or somthin like that, then that would be sweet too. The only reason ive said all this is cuz i hope the people that make skate look at this and see what they should put on there cuz i dont feel like waiting another year so they can gradually add these things i think they should throw all of what these people said(at least the cool ideas anyway MINE LOL) into the game and then year after year have a new stoory and new levels and new products and grafics ETC.
WHOLY CRAP I GOT MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok so we should be able to steez things out. That would be sweet. And last but not least let me make an edit WITH MUSIC and for all those that dint know what an edit is its like a 1,2,3,or 4 min video of my best tricks and my favorite lines or runs put togeather in 1 video
I would like a bmx bike to travel to spots.
I’d rather have Ea Bike than another Ea Skate..
There are a million skating games but there is only like 2 bmx games and they are over 3 years old.
Please Ea make a bmx game.
They have to get rid of the suction into grinds. Here’s a video where all I do is grind the “ungrindable” objects. It’s much more challenging.
http://www.vimeo.com/735688
being a pro skater has two basic aspects:
1. being able to land incredible and unique tricks
2. being able to land incredible and unique tricks SMOOTHLY
until a skater can master BOTH of these things, he will forever be a nobody in the skateboarding world.
in ea skate 2, you should start out with the ability to land all tricks possible, except all of your tricks will be really unclean, sketchy, and sometimes so gross you wish the skater would have never landed the trick in the first place. as you progress through the game (winning contests etc.) you style will slowly become more smooth, clean, and pro-like, thus attracting massive amounts of attention to your best tricks.
in the end, the player will be more satisfied with the game by being able to finally land clean, flawless lines to meet the standards of the pro skateboarding community and yourself.
this would also be interesting in online play, for when you play an inexperienced skater, you’ll be able to laugh at his gross style and sketchy landings, even though he will technically be able to land all the same tricks you can.
Ok that dude blea has really good ideas and i can add to it by saying i think that your shoes should get worn out as well as your board because my shoes rip in real life and that should be in there if the board damage is. Oh and i also think that they should let u be able to drop in because when play the game my guy doesnt flow with quarter pipes or anything so droping in is something they should also put in there!
I want to be able to build my own park. I want to make a MEGA MEGA ramp so i can bust some switch triple rodeo’s and what not. i think that would be nothing less than AWESOME.
EA please make another skate game if you make a BMX game before the next skate ill cry myself to sleep forever more
I Love Skate Its one of my favorite games ever, here are some ideas i have 4 skate 2
1. More Skaters, I know theres a good list but we need more (LOTS MORE)
2.Get Off Of Ya Board Please i hate to have to go all the way around just to jump 7 steps.
3.Go On tour with your sponcer, play demos, and earn lots of money.
4.Be able to customize a (board, shoe, clothes, hats, wheels, and more)
5.Own things Like Mansion, skate parks, cars, and things like that.
6.MORE TRICKS!!!!!
7.Hang with your skate team, invite them to your house, skate around with them just have fun.
JUST MAKE IT THE GRAND THEFT AUTO OF SKATEBOARDIND!!! THANKS
you should be able to skate naked!!
I had another great Idea:
D
)
D
how about you could control by yourself, when you will catch the board? like for example, when you want to do a darkslide, you have to push the “catch”-button, when your board is upside down
this would also make primo possible, and, like in real, needs reeeally good timing ^^
well, I think, this could work really cool
Next Idea, probably somwhere already posted:
when you could “always” grab your board, you could do boneless, by first grabbing, then ollie ^^
with this thing you could, for example, also the “kickflip-indy” let look more realistic
ALSO: with the “catch”-button you could let sooooo many tricks look so much more realistic ^^
D
(just wanted to tell again ;o)
so, pleeease make some kind of catch-button
Start From A Young Age As You Get older you get better, be able to put a camera wherever u want for videos fid your own spots and more!!!
The thing to me that is great about Skate is the realistic experience of skating.
Save all the bars and meters that would damper that for the other series.
Here are things Id like to see in Skate2.
- Regular Online updates of new decks, shoes, wheels, etc as they release in the real world.
- Regular Online updates of new maps. Summer tour to China, Australia, Spain, NYC, LA, SD etc.
- In tour mode perform before crowds.
- More Real contest and skate parks; Tampa Am, Robs House (pre-mini horse), etc.
- More real life spots; Love Park, The Berrics,
- More real life pros and ams.
- Big Black butt board challenge! (Big Black as a playable character or butt board/coffin race against Big Black!)
- Build your own private training skatepark. Skatepark Editor. Create combinations of ramps, rails, ledges etc. in your private warehouse.
- Online Free Skate.
- More of the Older Nike Dunks, Blazers, etc.
I think that the idea is pretty good. As long as it’s not like Tony Hawk.
I also think that the rest of your ideas are great.
But I haven’t seen anybody mention anything about Death lenses.
Those lenses are a big part of skating.
Like I’ve seen people mention the placing of camera dudes and different cameras.
But nobody has really put any thought into the actual lenses.
I think it would be great cause different lenses would be great.
Like first you start out only able to afford shitty fish eye lenses.
But as you progress you can afford better ones.
-Ryan.
Oh and also El Toro should definatly be in Skate. 2
Like more reall spots.
Oh a few more things….haha.
Corey Duffel. That dude is so fucking cool and so nice.
I met him at a skate shop premire at his shop’s sponser The Metro(their shirt can be seen in one of my myspace pictures). If you don’t believe me, here’s the link to the web site.—> http://www.metroskateshop.com
Walking is a must. I know as a skater that I’m not on my board 24-7.
And the security should kick you out before comming after you.
No stupid shit that skaters don’t do.
I saw an idea in the comments on here about being able to edit all of your clips together and that is a great idea.
Foundation decks.
More hair cuts.
More pants, especially skinny jeans.=D
Uhm…A house to chill in, store boards and clothes, “charge” cameras(basically everytime you go they charge without you having to do anything), “sleep” which basically only activates if you’ve been skating for a really long time(chilling or drinking energy drinks would help that), and check a “calander” to see if you have any comps comming up.
Cars to an extent. Like nothing hellof fucking flashy. Just something to get to far spots in.
Female skaters.
Better bails.
More local skate shops.
A few more boards? If you actually go to a shop then you could see that there are like one or two more boards than there are in Skate. 1, so add more?
Local shop comps?
Better skate parks around town.
Bearings are a must. Almost like walking.
I liked a time system I saw in one of the comments.
Being able to session with a few people not just see people scattered around and not really skating one thing in particular.
See other people filming.
Some pedestrians actually crowd around and watch you skate or film.
I liked how the skate shop had poeple cut out of paper, but I think you(the skater) should be able to walk around and everything be 3D, and you could interact with the people in there with preset stuff to say. Or you could read the lines into your headset that are on the screen.
Same with some pedestrians, you could be able to interact with them cause if you actually skate you would know that some people actually talk to you about stuff.
In a game of S.K.A.T.E. you should have to call your tricks just like in real life. You can’t just do some random shit and call it a trick.
Frontside and Backside 180s. But no skater actually calls it a frontside 180. Unless you’re talking about Fronside/Backside flips. If not then its usually front or back 180 or Back Smith.
I can’t really think of anything else right now but I’ll definatly post more if I think of them.

Oh and if you do decide to check out http://www.metroskateshop.com, go to Metro Team and thats the whole team. Look for Joel Jugitar. He’s the owner.
Oh and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5ryFWWmckw Thats the metro team’s new tour to the best parks out in Nor Cal.
The small kid that does the nose grind on the kinda big quarterpipe is called LIttle Daniel. He’s fucking crazy as seen here…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxYz90FlebU and here…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9u-IB-1kSlw&feature=related and in this promo by a kid named Brendan…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zw-p8lZ8Jl0&feature=user.
Little Daniel is gonna grow up and be in mags. Seriously.
He has the steeziest Back Smiths around. So check his shit.
Uhm…Yeah.

i like the whole idea of the confidence meter but the idea of u sucking on balls and the more time u play the more u get better k thats wat i do every day i dunt want to play video games and go through all that again i want to be atleast good but the idea of confidence helping u perform things that u usually wont do is a cool idea. breaking boards and snappinmg shoe lases is a sick idea but wat were to happen if u run out of money and u snap all ur boards wat r u going to do at that point. hers wat i think should be in skate 2
1. WALKING!!!!!!
2. breaking boards(also scraching them and ruining ur shoes after constent use)
3. more realistic falls
4. show cuts and u breaking the actuall bones and when u save and turn the game on again the cuts are gone kinda like the healed
5. more everything and by that i mean more companys to be sponsred by, more contests and more magazines to choose from which ones u want to get ur picture in also more sponsers like clothing and drink and bearing sponsers and also more places to skate like other cities and countrys
6. iunno if this is a good idea but i think it would be cool if like u can by ur own crib u know a place were u keep all ur boards and trucks and clothing and it should be the only place u should be able to save and like when u go to other countries or cities u can stay in hotels and save ur game progress there, u should also be able to pimp ur own crib u know in the beginig u would buy an apartment and like after u get mega moolahh u can by like mansions
7. u can actually bribe the security guards like maybe give them some cash and the wont bug with u not all of them should be able to be bribed and make difrent types of security guards like certain types of clothing and some are fat and some are skinny and that affetcs them when they chase u
thats about it if u got all this stuff or maybe some of this stuff skate 2 would be the only game i play
also i know im writting alot but like the abiltiy to like switch the way ur wear ur hat like back ward or like tilted up like a gangsta
…..ut please for all that is hly dunt add more tricks like primo flips and darkslides and buliding ur own park cause i dunt want this turning into another tony hawk disater
Bikes.
Please.
I mean, I don’t want it to be like some of these games you see with 20 different vehicles, but there are so many spots in the first game where I could see some sick lines on a BMX bike.
I think in Skate 2 you should be allowed to walk around. and be able to do ground tricks. There should also be daylight times and night times. I also love the idea how you start out young and though out the game you get bigger and of course older. And, a better skater. I also love the idea that you can break your boards.
I’m reposting i thought of some more ideas….
there should be more products. and make landing a track more harder. its kinda weird how you land a trick perfectly every time. so try to make it a bit of a crappy spin/landing when you’re starting out but out of a percentage of how much you do a trick you get better at it so then it doesn’t become crappy anymore. and when you start out you always don’t land your trick sometimes. and please make it so that legs scrunch down really far down when jumping something really big. overall. i loved the first version of this game. and I’d love to see some of these things added to skate 2.
Keep all the ideas you and before at the start of this topic. Its a awesome idea.
My idea is that when you do kickflip (example) you have to stop it on right time to land that, just like in thp nail the trick but without any slowmotion things and that would solve the darkslide problem, you land the deck upside down. For example how to do casper: Do a kickflip, stop it upside down, make manual and there is casper and to make anti casper you have to do nose manual. But then the main problem is , when your timing is not correct you can save it with manual. Probably there would be other ways to solve that thing like doing something more to make casper, not just like flip board and do manual. Those was my ideas. and oh yeah sorry for my bad english, im not english.
So, i think that Jon said a very great thing, that you should hold your thumbstick until you release it, then you will get your feet down. The confidence meter is a great thing, but if you could get of your board, do flatland tricks and other stuff like if you have a simple board and you are trying to jump of big stairs then it will you’re board will broke or your trucks will get broke or you will jump off your board cuz you will not have inuf confidence. I want more realistic bails, like when you are falling then you would be trying to fall down more softer and trying to do a roll with your buttons or something that can protect you from breaking your head. If you would want to stand on primo or darkslide(don’t hold thumbstick enough) then i think there should be a button to get ready for it. It would be also cool if you can call you’re friends and say like : Hi! let’s go skate somewhere and the friend says ok or i am buissy i can’t go right now… Then you chek your list for upcoming event like game of skate or vert competitions, and if you win it you get some money from it. So that will be a killer game
CIRCA COMBAT DIVISION FOR CLOTHES AND SHOES LIKE CIRCA TRES
me and my friend were thinking about some new ideas for skate 2, and to tell you the truth we are pretty good (not to brag or anything) but, first of all you guys should know that you can break your board in skate
anyway i would think they could get a better video editing system, like on effects have wide angle, fish eye, death eye etc. next, would be to also make something where you can film yourself or maybe take pictures of other skaters, using the analog stick
confidence meter would be cool but i wouldnt some over exaggerted bull crap like thps (special meter)
next thing that would be cool is if every trick wasnt on the bolts and there were better bails
i dont like those gay tony hawk tricks like impossibles, ff impossibles nd stuff no complys, nd bonlesses would be kinda cool, but my whole concern is they make it reaisitic
and lastly is that i would like the game to be harder, so make the game start where your a 13 year old kid just starting to learn to ollie
and no darkslides, 3-million diffent manny tricks, and all kinds of fake tricks in that sort
yea i know some is realistic like rodney mullen can do a lot of it but im just saying, play realistic is the way to go
_KEEP IT REAL_
I posted this in wish list part 1. So i guess won’t be any use there so I’m reposting here in part 3.
I really hope it gets consideration.

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.

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?
-
-
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.
Thank you very much for supporting ideas from users.
Harkadenn
If the 80’s idea its not very much likeable, then at least give us a few elements from the era, such as Skateboards to choose or be able to create the board with some unique pieces found around the stage?, and maybe some snickers and bandannas, a few clothes.
or perhaps an extra mode so a few things can be done.
I might be happy with just this.
hey erm i like the idea of this cos there will be more to do because skate 1 was so short and i compited it in like 2 days so i think you should put this idea in to the game i like the sound of it =] (PLEASE PUT THIS IDEA IN TO THE GAME PLEASE)
and one more thing chad has a great idea where you have to be 13 and learn to ollie good one chad like it =]
ty and add me on xbox owenh19
I KNOW EVERYONE WANTS NEW TRICKS LIKE CASPER BUT THE MAIN IDEA OF SKATE IS YOUR CONTROL OVER YOUR BOARD. USING FLICK-IT…..HOW WOULD U CASPER?!?!?!?OR IMPOSSIBLE?!?!THEY ALREADY FILLED THE ANALOG WITH A BUNCH A CRAP….JUST SAYING….BUT IT WOULD BE COOL
Well basically i just have a few ideas for skate 2.
1. you should add real skatespots like the brooklyn banks, carlsbad high, el toro, and maybe even a skatepark like the etnies skatepark.
2. you should be able to get off your board and walk, not do stupid stuff like tony hawk and climb up a 50 ft building, but just be able to walk up stars and get to some skatespots.
3. get andrew reynolds off that tony hawk contract and hook the game up with some altamont, krew, or emerica pants.
4. add big hills to get speed and go through curb cuts and jump massive gaps.
5. be able to break your board if you land off something too high or land on a rail wrong.
6. better bails.
7. even more big gaps.
8. like a guy said earlier, add a house where your skater to store clothes and decks and everything and add a big backyard where you can design and build your own personal backyard skatepark.
9. be able to upload skateparks other people made and play them.
10. add contests like tampa am and pro or maybe goofy vs. regular at the etnies skatepark.
id like EA BIKE.
there are like a billion skateboarding games
i love playin skateboarding games but in real life i ride a bike.
I think the skate should start off as a noob. You have to learn your tricks and practice them to have them good. Harder gaps and grinds. Skate team in career and maybe even multiplayer career. Having to buy new boards and working at a skate shop to get money that will take away from your skating time during the day and having to go sleep at home. Home being on the map and being able to go to bed and chill. Being able to buy new cameras with better quality and being able to buy different lenses. At your house you’ll be able to have your rail in front of your house and have friends come over. Make styles more dramatic or maybe even create-a-style. Add pivots in there in stead of the 180’s and 180 flips gross lookin. This might sound like to much of a Skate Sim but its the reality and we need an amazing skate game.
this is what i want to see in skate 2
1. Walk- if ur skateing a spot i want to be able to walk back up the stairs i just jumped nothing crazy like tony hawk. add flatland tricks
2. board damage would be really tight wear and tear and after really long use it would break or really big jumps something like that same with shoe damage
3. Fixed camera – when you session a spot you should be able to set up a camera angle or if ur camera guy is follwing behind u not follow u down the stairs also be able to pick up and move stuff to make ur session spot better
4. free skate online, get in a free skate room with friends and make a video together. edit clips together and send to friends or xbox dashboard or youtube
5. more skaters, clothes, boards and customization HOODY UP HAT Backwards
6. a real story line skate 1 was short and weak it was like going pro overnight which doesnt happen. i like the starting out young, broke, and not land on the bolts with every trick. the more you do a trick the cleaner it should get. if u have never done a tre flip off a 5 ft drop ur not going to clean land it. practice. make your way up start out in ur parents house and then to buying and customizing ur own danny way mansion.
7. please add a catch button for dark slides and caspers, it adds realism. make the tricks slower especially on stairs. switch tricks should be harder. more realistic falls and drops. no one stands straight up on the board when they are jumping stairs or drops.
8. call out tricks and challenge anyone on a skate board to skate as ur popularity goes up more people or pros accept ur challenge.
this would make skate 100% better
just to add to the ideas i would say Element is a big part of the skating industrie and not limit to 2 or 3 T’s by brand also i saw the idea of getting of the skate not to do dumb stuff but just to get around better i dont know if tony has copy rights on that but also a wider selection of Decks Trucks Weels and FINALY VARIOUS THE POSSIBILITIE TO PLACE VARIOUS SESSION MARKERS TO GET SOME KIND OF SESSION MARKER SPOT BOOK just some simple ideas like that
more manny tricks like casper, pogo and handstand
Skate was a great game and I played the hell out of it. But, for me, its downfall came in requiring the player to do specific tricks to rails to pass certain events – this is due to the relative unresponsiveness of the analog trick stick system. A good work around for this would be a tiered system – since all of the flip tricks were put into difficulty categories, i.e. easy, medium, and hard – or level 1, 2, 3 respectively – it would be much more suiting to the user to set up the challenges predicated on doing a certain level of flip trick into a rail as opposed to a particular trick. For instance, instead of required me to do a 360 flip into a crooked grind – which almost comes down to plain luck after attempt number fifty – have me do a level 3 flip trick into a level 3 grind to pass the challenge. That was it is slightly more forgiving (but still challenging non-the-less) and it provides for more variety in how one could go about accomplishing the objective. This seems much more fun to me than just hitting LB and UP over and over and over trying to nail this one silly trick – especially when I’ve nail about 10 tricks entirely similar but not quite exactly it. Think about it EA…
dont make the career mode wth filming things like points it gets to unrealistic when i have to do like nollie tre flip 360 crooked grind to inward heelflip front bluntslide laser flip out to get my 5,000 points just make it like entering competitions and do certain realistic tricks on street rails for videos just like real pros have to do and make it so we dont have to win the comps if we dont do good and make the competitions to be won more on the realisticallity of the tricks not the points and if you do some crazy tricks like i mentioned for the filming you get docked points in the competition because when i was playing in competitions i didnt like it because i was winnig for doing crazy impossible tricks it just makes me feel like im playing tony hawk all over again but i love ur game outside of doin goals i love to go to a rail and do a nollie flip crooks and it looks real
I think this is a great Idea that can be opened to much more. If you have ever played the Tiger Woods games they have different events or challeges not every day but every week or so. This can be used in the skate 2 game. Saying this i mean that with skate brands they have different tours (which can be used with the different towns or countries you mentioned) different photoshoots for that brand, and different filming times and spots for that brand. This could work by having a calender option from your sidekick menu, cellphone etc. telling you different events from your brand or if your not sponsered yet from your friends to skate with them to get your confidence up. Also I think that it would be cool if you could call some friends or pros on your brand (or just friends) to session or to challenge to a game of skate like in real life. They wont always want too or may be out of town but sometimes will come. Also if you can get off your board in skate 2, if you run out of money they could have little minigames for you to do in order to get money to buy clothes, decks etc. Lastly in skate there should be some way to switch brands and be delivered skate magazines to your crib… Oh yeah the crib. Your crib, I think, should be a new addition to the game. Your crib should be fully customizable from the kitchen to the downstairs basement,from the bedroom to the backyard. Your backyard should be somewhat like tony hawks create a park where you create different ledges stair sets and flatbars, and when your done you go back out and skate somemore. AS with the skate magazines it should show you + different pro/am skaters, doing different spots. This can be done easily because in skate the computer just skate spots anyway its just a photostill. These are just a few things I think should be considered in the new game.
just something i thought would really complete skate. being able to get off your board and walk around, cause its pretty frustrating when you see a nice spot and cant walk up the stairs.
A OPTION TO COME OFF THE BOARD IT WOULD MAKE THINGS ALOT EASIER IF YOU WANT TO APPROACH SOME SPOT
thank u
some of these are good suggestions. the ea bike thing, i say it should be intergrated into skate like in THAW. I also like the suggestions for more tricks and being able to walk. skate 2 should also have the ability to change your sponsers, more companies, create a park, downloadable content for example like new boards, and world tours. alos board damage. if you want to send me a friend request my gamer tag is
Drillbit Sammy
I agree with a lot of tha things here lke being able to break your board and a confidence meter sounds like a very good idea but ive only heard manualing a couple of times which i was supprised about I dont know about you but i love doing things like primo sliding caspers and all the different variations in the Tony hawks series and i think it would be great if they put that in SKATE because I pretty much think SKATE beats the TH series by far but thier are a lot of things that could of been done better like getting on and off your board when i played it I always saw myself getting stuck in a corner or on a set of stairs it was a bit agrivating also I too did not like the fact you could do a 360 inward heel when you werent even sponsored or a quad flip.I think a confidence meter would work well as long as it helps you become a better skater in the game. Also I had a thought about the spot book you had in the game i liked that the only thing is I think thier should be more spots and for each spot there could be a bar beside it telling how close you are to landing it or if you already did land it that would go along great with the confidence meter idea any way I think these are all good ideas up and down this page and i hope they get used for SKATE 2 i cant wait
By the way no pressure or any thing but please dont f**k up this game
I think they should have filming challenges instead of getting 5,000 points they should have it where you have to go do tricks at certain real life spots, and as your career progresses you get longer video parts. I like the idea of walking and breaking a board. They should also put real skateparks in the game because it would be fun to play at your local skatepark. And lastly, its unrealistic when your filmer can follow you down the stairs because I don’t know of any filmers who can film and jump down a 15 set at the same time.
i hope u can get off ur bord in this game. it would be alot easer if u could
y dose every one want bikes the games called skate not bikes
the things ppl are saying would make the game gay lets not make another Tony hawk game thos games are gay keep it simple
y would u want to make a park its gay and plus thats takeing from tony hawk games
but ya some of the comments ppl left are just gay
o ya i hope theres better music and more skate companys .
and wether like rain snow and shit like that
and day and night
that would be sick
o ya my freind told me that u should have to wax curbs and shit befor u grind on them
that would be kool to
ya and more ice cream shoes and just more shoes and ya more boreds and trucks and wheels u should be able to change and pick the berings u use
i think u should be able to drive a car to get to places far away and shit
and ya the house idea is actualy pritty good
I think that it should be the same as the first skate. Except they should have:
more places to go to..like traveling around the world for contests
multi player free skate
and more decks, trucks, shoes, wheels, and clothes
ya hes right just like the first one
doood it would be sick if you could…
1. get off your board. there were so many sick spots that were unreachable because your stuck on the board all the time. plus it helps so you dont have to be moving all the time.
2. have a girl skater in career mode. im sure girls that are fans of skate didnt like the fact they had to be male.
3. since we are on the subject, waaay more ways to customize your character. not clothes-wise, but body wise. they had like 6 hairstyles, etc…
4. more sponsors would be great. like berings, hardware, griptape, etc… and more options from sponsors.
5. a lot more camera angles for video editing. even like setting a still camera. for example, being able to set a camera at the bottom of a stair set and having that footage where not everything is moving.
6. lastly, world tournaments would be sweet. like on xbox live, where there is like actual prizes and what not, lots of people have mentioned that already.
but yeah thats my list…enjoy!
oh yeah and kyle touched on this but, being able to party play freeskate with your friends. its kinda lame that you can only compete in s.k.a.t.e. or own the spot. sometimes its a lot more fun just to be able to skate around, and kill some spots with your friends.
here’s some ideas
1.walking
2.board breaking
3.different brands in clothing and skateboards
4.more skaters like the lakai team i mean hell u had there shoes in there.
5.no more get 5,000 points and stuff like that make it like photoshoot and compeditions.
6.maybe creating a skate park. idk cuz i think that would be taking away from TH.
7.multiplayer freeskate.
8.different online games.
9.be able to choose your bearings.
10.the transportation is fine keep it DO NOT ADD CARS OR STUFF LIKE THAT!
11.day&night
12.weather maybe rain but no snow
13.classic skate spots like DOS,GLENHAVEN SKATEPARK,BURNSIDE,SANTA CRUZ.
14.noo ryan sheckler.
15.no house.
16.more public skateparks where the cpu’s will be skating to but dont get in ur way as much.
Well ea i hope you like my ideas for ea skate2 even tho u guys would probaly not read this. but whatever bye!
I like some of those ideas. like the no 5,000 point challenge things. I hated those because you have to be unrealistic to accomplish those goals. Thats stupid because the game is supposed to strive on being realistic, so im right there with ya on that one man.
I think the make your own skatepark thing would be cool though. most pro skaters have their own park, why not make your own when you achieve pro status…
the house might be a cool idea, but probably ultimatley would take away from the game being a skate game, but in some respects it might be cool….but what would you do in your house? like mini animal crossing, but in skate…who knows.
I wonder if the EA team is actually looking at these ideas…
I think the idea of having more sponsors like board sponsor; wheel sponsor; bearing sponsor; truck sponsor & clothing sponsor . like LRG; & Kr3w; Obey; VANS ! etc. [[ I change my outfit on my character like 3 times a day .]]
Also you should be able to leave your sponsors if you want . but only to a certain limit . . cause then people would constantly change sponsors . Most Def. some more hairstyles cause i have hair but it’z not ” long ” . & you shouldn’t have darkslides & primos cause nobody really does that shxt; it’s tight but not for the Skate. franchise . [[ Leave it for Tony Hawk ]] .
& i like the idea of breaking boards & scratches & playing people S.K.A.T.E. on the streets & they all have a different skating style . & they should have more variations in your skating style like how they did with the agressive and stuff .
& the idea of waxing a ledge is tight cause then you could wax like a certain spot on the rail to get a cleaner grind. Just make sure Skate. stays realistic cause that’s what makes it as successful as it is . Oh yeah; & some Jerme Rogers; Antwaun Dixon; Stevie Williams. & angling your videos is dope.
I got more: You should have a required tricks in the video instead of getting 4,000 points in 30 sec. [[ Even though it'z not hard . ]] & having your name on the same series of decks as your pro model is tight . More Nikes ! & FREE SKATE MULTIPLAYER !!!!
ok did u say anything about gettin off your board like yea THAT WILL PORBLY HAPPEN
but yea i think this sounds pretty cool
but yea they need to put a full editing system and u have to make a full video part and u have to edit it and everthing then u send it to a skate shop and the rate it for u
and yea they need to fix some little stuff in gameplay like when u do a 50-50 and then do a kickflip out
it is 2 damn high so yea come down on how high they ollie and shit \
and somtime they go way to fast
so yea chill on the speed and what i said would be cool and i like your idea to
i dont know about the meter thing and i like how you can ollie high first time cuz what if you play the game alot at friends then buy it you cant do all the tricks youre used too. and i think create a park would be pretty kool considering how realistic the game is it would be more fun than the create a park in THPS. also i think walking would be pretty kool and more vert tricks like rock n roll, rockk fakie, grinds on coping shuld be more realistic and the half pipe at the X-games sucks… u get less air than they do in real life if you watch the X-games then try it on skate… and more grab tricks like benihana, sal flip, airwalk, kick-flip indies and stuff like that also more street tricks like, nightmeare flip, pressure flip, primo, casper, darkslide etcc… also you should be able to go to other citys just as big as san vanelona with stores you can walk into… im a twelve year old kid who spends all his time at the skatepark and when im not theyre im playin ea skate or myspace so i rlly know wut stuff it should have… also i think you should be able to get in fights with cops and really mess with them cz isnt that wut skating is all about?? also it needs more variety at the stores… and more vert ppl in the game like bucky lasek, bob, burnquist, buster halterman, etcc… and like youre own house to chill at with youre own custom furniture, tv, bedroom, stuff like that dont make the game ALL about skaating cuz that starts getting boring… and why is it taking the game so long to come out… the game is INSANE!!!
– NOAH.
and also i dont like how if you trey flip a 15 stair you catch youre board by the 3rd stair from the top cuz when its a photo shoot it really doesnt look that good
Yeah, it seems everyone is so against this confidence meter because they feel it is too much like tony hawk. This game will never be like tony hawk because when you play it you feel it. Tony Hawk eventually lost its edge when you were grinding telephone poles and launching 100ft out of a halfpipe. Skate feels real. I believe the confidence meter is great, but I will say that it does feel like stats. It should feel like real skateboarding. REAL SKATEBOARDERS DON’T GET ON THE BOARD FOR THE FIRST TIME AND TRE A 20 STAIR!!! So you are going to have to incorporate stats into the game to make it feel “real”. The board breaking physics is GREAT! And I like the idea of traveling to different countries a lot. You should have a small section of each city you can skate. And lastly you should incorporate owning a car. It would be too hard to drive the car in real time, but you could use it to travel ANYWHERE in San Vanelona (fast travel by clicking a marked spot on your map like a skate spot you like). And you should be able to drop waypoints on your map of secret spots you found that you like to skate. Name them and then have them appear on a menu on your map so you go back there.
PUT MIKE MO CAPALDI IN THIS SKATE 2 PLEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAASSSSSSSSEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
let the skater you r talkk…..
I posted this before but I think it was posted in an old wishlist. I really want this to be read and noted so here goes:
Imagine playing skate but with all the 80’s influences. Back where all the skateboarding stuff came to our world as the best thing. Chicks crawled on cool guys who skate and it was the hit of the moment.
Skateboarding back in the eighties was and extraordinary thing and everybody wanted to learn to jump and look as cool as the skaters.
It would kick so much ass to play skate 2 back when all the skateboarding thing started. We all recognize how much the 80’s influenced now days. The graffitys, the colors, the shoes, the music: heavy metal bands or new wave; the clothes (old school like Ocean Pacific, etc.); the movies, the popular phrases (awesome, cool, groovie, etc…), the fashion, etc. A chasing of cops would kick ass so much too, being able to run from them jumping on their cars while performing great tricks.
Obviously you use the old style skateboards and as an option let us choose the new style of skate and be able to customize and mix them.
And giving the game all the 80’s feel and ambient, places, and famous places from that era and by that it will include the people all around the city.
And of course… an open mall to skate it!
Perhaps a nice cell-shade style to the players while the surrounding is realistic. Not like Jet set radio style, but a new one and having some nice effects and GREAT animations, all fluid and most realistic as possible.
Or just leave it realistic because im sure not many people like the cell-shading thing.
Wow, I can keep coming with a lot more ideas but I will let you guys discuss for now.
i think the board snapping is a good idea but shouldn’t be too easy to break and i think you should be able to get off your board in skate 2 that’s what a lot of my friends that have the game complain about.. thanks
More Pros, more brands, and more merchandise! And when you choose a sponsor, the Pro for that sponsor should be more interactive with the character, not just give them a few business phone calls. Maybe a few follow mes to some out of a dozen locked and hidden spots!
By the Way, the Idea at the top sounds AWESOME!!! Especially the Breaking Your Board thing! Thats definitely Realistic!!
This idea has already been said before, but I have to second it(or third it), but I would love to be able to skate during different times of the day or night. Also, I don’t know how anybody else feels about this but I hate doing the best trick contest online and a skater does a few tricks, gets a level 3 then hits the specified area and comes away with an amazing score. I’m not really sure if I would call this cheating or not because it does take some skill to pull off. But once you know how to do it, it gets abused. Just check out the “own the spot” leaderboards online. I think this should be taken out of the game. You guys have some really great ideas by the way, I hope EA is listening.
You should also be able to pivot once you hit the ground after you land a trick. Did anyone else notice that youll do like a 270 and just want to pivot once you hit the ground but you cant?
And they should also have lots more skaters, including ams, and more tricks like airwalks, finger flips, sal flips, but no darkslide bullshit. And finally, they should have a list of pros that you can pick the syle that you skate from. I thought all the styles looked the same and thats gay. They should have sloppy styles, lazy styles, fast styles, clean styles, mike mo styles, and of course, a david gravette style!
Oh yea and ollie norths
Also you should also be able to have like some sort of public image. Idk kind of a dumb idea but i just thought of it yesterday. Like you should be able to be kinda like a bad ass, a fag with a reality show (sheckler), a big stoner, or just like your regular pro skater.
Idk.
I just wanted to see what other people think of this, so reply back.
I think the announcers should say the “Banger” tricks on the mic and go crazy when they are done so they say the trick and are enthusiastic about it too.
i think that , when you go to free skate, and pick your skater…..the skaters should have at least 2 shirts.
like say you have corey duffel in the the game, he should be wearing a black foundation shirt, with a black denim vest with a couple buttons on it, with skin tight jeans, with a chain hanging from his pants……and a spike braclet, and a couple necklaces
but you should also have a choice between a leather jacket too…..and you should have a choice between a couple different hair styles……..the main style should be black spiky hair………..
the next choice should be, half of his hair black and half of his hair bleach blonde…..and the last choice should be red hair
but i think having corey duffel in the game would be sweet….he has such sick style, and he expresses himself, he sets such big standards in the skateboarding industrie….he would be such a big asset for this game
thank you.
One thing I’m suprised nobody mentioned was the fact that everyone looks the same. (Face wise) I think you should be able to change the persons face than edit it rather than just sticking with the default on. It would also be cool if you could somehow get a photo of yourself up and use your picture as the face.
i dont think this confidence idea is good at all, it sounds too much like tony hawk
i think they should have just one city but its huge
it would be pretty sick if you could your own house and keep your money and go to sleep there but not have a “you must go to sleep bar”
hopefully theyll stay away from that tony hawk xp points junk
i was just watchin some skate vids and i did skate for 15 years so i know skateboarding .it used to be my life now i still love it an ea skate. bit i think i know something that would make it next level realistic.i just dawned on me.
might be hard to explain but here gos:
you know when say you land something off balance and you compensate with maybe leaning or balancing with the upper body your arms twisting ,stuff like that. or maybe you land kinda leaning and you have to turn into the way your leaning to stay balanced…. kareem cambell does this a lot.
you could implement that into the game so that you can land sketchy like off balance and you have to compensate with turning or balancing somehow..with the anolouge sticks maybe center it? for a second…not by a meter though no balacne meter. just by looking at you skater should work..i don’t know maybe its hard or even just… some more motion captures for the landing of tricks like..not many skaters land the same all the time id like to see some variation in the landing and maybe ollie animations. i think then it would look more organic and be open more to be played in different ways maybe different styles. maybe its something for the next gen i don’t know. i would look much better though.
please more stuff to buy in skate 2 as well, skate parks to download.. ,id buy them all the time. and i know ea isnt shy of down loadable content. so please make lots for skate 2:)
confidence meter is ok but id like to be confident that i can do that or..know im gonna slam without a meter to tell me. i think you can almost do that on skate anyway. no need for a meter, maybe the more tricks you land your oliies could improve a lil so that if your playing well its easier to keep playing well. a bit easier anyway. like after landing 10 tricks nicely you could get a lil more speed, im talking minute fractions but that build ontop of each other (if your good enough) to eventually make a small difference in your skatein ability:)
man imagine if you could create our own graphics with photoshop or illustratr upload them to ea and get them on your pro model in ea skate lol.
I thni kthat there needs to be an easy way to skate all the placces in career mode, but with up to four people. My friends and i have to share the controller while in career mode, but all we are doing is trying to find sweet grinds, gaps, and lines. Maybe also be able to try some of the cahllenges in career mode while in multiplayer, for instance a photo shot and who can take the best photo. Your ideas sound pretty good, but i also think that all the tricks should be available and not any harder to do when you start a career. Skate the first one was totally awesome and i never get sick of it because there are endless possibilities in the free world, keep the same idea in Skate:2

i think in skate 2 we should be able to get of the board and skate as a girl. I also think the linear part that he’s suggesting is ludicris. We shouldn’t make the player stay in a linear plot line, or else we’ll run into a tony hawk type game. Tony Hawk thrives upon goals and small areas skate is about open skating and not so much in the goals.
they should put mike mo capaldi, mike anderson, and ryan sheckler in skate 2.
They won’t do that confidence meter thing because this entire game is taking place 5 years after Skate 1. You are already a pro.
make big black a skater
All I need improved cause the first game was great and building a skatepark along w/ moving stuff is unrealistic.
also add split screen… Very neccesary
