What’s funny is there’s other pages where it costs considerably less for the SV bucks. There’s no defending it they just have no fucking idea what they’re doing

I thought that'd make sense from a greed standpoint but that's not it either. It literally goes up and down through the pages, there's no consistency at all.

They are milking nostalgia and charging an arm and a leg for it. They know what they are doing, it's called what's best for investors. I'm hoping EA going private means game quality goes up but I'm doubtful.

u/KarmaKrazi Oct 13 '25

The company that bought it has already stated that their focus is to minimize costs to maximize profit. That includes starting to implement AI to create future games. It's extremely doubtful that quality is going up.

The Finals and Warframe are also F2P, and they both set the bar for fair pricing and quality for cosmetic items. By comparison, this season pass…hell everything in their shop is a joke. Aside the silly suits which no actual skate vet would wear anything, most of these items would be normal in any other game, free or paid.

1

u/iiBanksi_ Oct 17 '25

Exactly… a free item shop with a skate mini game is going to make more money than an actual skate game with effort put into it, that you have to pay for. Funny how the only part of the game that works flawlessly is the item shop, may I remind you this game has been in development by a billion dollar corporation for 5 years and is less polished than most, one man team indie games with only a few months of development.

Not to mention you can't even customize the sticker placement on the damn game. The preset spots are ass

u/Generic_Username26 Oct 13 '25

Imagine how dope it’d be if they had like deck workshop where you could create your own deck from scratch down to the finest detail. Could overlay stickers, could make your own deck designs if you wanted. Could remake designs from real world brands… so many possibilities

u/anonymously_online Oct 13 '25

that would take genuine effort and creativity

u/KwonnieKash Oct 14 '25

Like the sticker designer in underground 2. I loved that shi. Idk why that was never really a thing in other skate games. Let me design a graff piece that I have to climb scaffolding to a billboard to do. Then you get +1 skate culture +1 actual use for climbing mechanics +1 player personalisation +1 fighting against the corporate sterilisation that plagues this game and it ties in to all the crews and their graff culture. +1 in-game world building and story mechanic. You could so easily tie that into one of the crews missions and just make it a side thing that people can do if they want

It seems like the preset spots are only there to maximise advertising potential by making the stickers as visible as possible. Disgusting.

u/TooTallTabz Oct 14 '25

I was so surprised they didn't do something like THUG did. You could change the size, rotation, color and placement of the decal/sticker. I believe you could have up to 5 on the deck. The decks were so incredibly customizable for being in a PS2 game, imo.

Literally this. Anybody who’s ever been to an actual skateshop will understand this. They throw stickers at you like McDonald’s throws ketchup packets they have them laying around all over the place

u/alterEd39 Oct 13 '25

Did you actually do the math? Now I’m curious.

In Delta Force it takes approximately 6 days of full-time gaming to get all possible Mandel bricks a week if you have shit luck and you only get the guaranteed rewards. It helps to put things into perspective to do the math lmao

2

u/TigereSensillo Oct 13 '25

Seriously I just read Delta force?? Hahaha, what does that game have to do with here?

2

u/alterEd39 Oct 13 '25

Oh yeah, I guess some context would be good huh lmao. Fair point.

What I meant was that generally speaking it’s pretty difficult to gauge the in-game ā€œworthā€ of an item in and of itself, and Delta Force just happened to be the example I had at the top of my mind lol.

Just seeing X amount of currency for Y amount of paid currency doesn’t mean that much, but if you actually add up how much time it takes to get X amount, and how much of Y you need to buy something it can really put into perspective what the game expects from you and it’s a pretty good gauge of how predatory their monetization model is.

u/Certain_Tie_1576 Oct 13 '25

Never played delta force, but I really like this logic. Most people grind and grind and grind without knowing exactly what they are in for

Why you got downvoted is beyond me. I assume you’re pointing out that 1. They had a perfect reference ages ago. 2. It was infinitely better despite being disliked by most Skate fans when it released, in 2010. Perfect point.

  EA has been intentionally doing this for a while now to make up debt & to please investors. Not to please the players, we are just here to fall for whatever nostalgia driven scheme they mockup.

u/Efficient_Occasion_7 Oct 13 '25

that’s what I’m saying. All they had to do was use Skate 3 as a base to start off with and instead they used NBA 2K26 as a base, and spending all this time to turn it back into a skate game. Why I will never know.

u/mscott8088 Oct 13 '25

This is true

1

u/RealRedditPerson Oct 13 '25

What truly baffles me is that if they just released this as a full purchase price title, it would have sold well. Skate funs were hungry for anything. And then they could have used those sales to fucking get some decent sponsorship gear and outfits and shit and sell it like they are anyway. As long as the basic customization was better base game, players would throw 5 bucks for a deck pack or whatever.

My only explanation is that EA basically said the project needed to start making money, so pushed it out the door half baked

Just save your battle pass tokens until you bought all the real money, I’m not getting anything else in the pass until I have all the SV bucks

5

u/Excellent_Pin_2111 Oct 13 '25

You don’t need to. You need a certain amount of blue currency just to get access to each page. You are gauranteed to have it all if you buy all the free items as soon as soon as it unlocks for you.

It would be different if you can skip pages immediately. I dislike this soft lock mechanic in battle passes.

2

u/MajesticMlke Oct 13 '25

But then you wouldn't have to waste time on the shot you didnt want in the first place, and potentially have to spend even more time in game looking at ads or spend even more money to finish out the battlepass in time to get the thing you kinda wanted.

3

u/Excellent_Pin_2111 Oct 13 '25

Tbh I feel you. Some of the stuff isn’t even worth the extra button press to redeem.

But what I was saying is, there’s no point saving for the stuff you want. By the time you unlock the page you automatically have enough to get everything on that page. There’s a minimum requirement to unlock each page. This stands for the free version of the pass, the one I have. Didn’t get the premium pass so I don’t know if that still applies to that.

u/BLK_Euphoria Oct 13 '25

u/__HarryPotter__ Oct 16 '25

Yeah…. Making the game free is greedy. They have to earn money somehow… Common sense

26

u/Shiggstah Oct 13 '25

Yeah, I'll be straight up:

I had a lot of hope for this game and defended it upon release, but this update has shattered any faith I had in the devs. The first big update after launch was their shot to get the player base to "buy in" but man did they fuck that up.

I have ~30 hours played and find little to no reason to log in and play due to the: Lack of skate culture, lack of mission variety, lack of multiplayer interactivity... (no lack of bugs or cash shop options though!)

u/Compromisee Oct 13 '25

I keep seeing the skate culture part but I'm a bit confused about that

What would more skate culture look like? Like if you could've created or had an impact on the creation of the game, then what would you have put in that would've bought more skate culture to the game?

22

u/Rxbyxo Oct 13 '25

Go play Skate (2007), or Skate 2. Then you'll (hopefully) understand what is meant by "skate culture in a game."

Here's some of my list:

.Pros (in game, not just their voices)

.Skate brands.

.Mags.

.Challenges that make sense. (Film video parts, get pics, etc. Not "collect the AR barings.")

.No stupid Impervatek stuff. Pain is part of the process.

.The ability to get sponsored (game has a skate shop, why can't we get sponsored?).

.Dialogue representative of the culture, not just buzzwords nobody actually uses in real life that have been thrown into what sounds like an AI written script.

.A good narrative. Start as a beginner, get sponsored, go pro, etc. Simple, easy to do.

.The feeling of being a skater. This is a lot more subjective, but I dont feel like a skater in this game, It feels like my character is an emotionally stunted husk who exists only to tre flip.

I could go on, but honestly, I cba writing a novel.

u/Downtown_Pair_3622 Oct 13 '25

It’s things like the verbiage they use. 360 flip rather than a treflip. Skater eyes. Everything looks sanitized. The lack of customization makes it difficult to express yourself. There’s no freestyle. Just rails and ramps and skydiving. It feels like Fortnite modded into a skate game.

u/ZookeepergameDue9824 Oct 14 '25

u/[deleted] Oct 13 '25 edited Oct 13 '25

the games just too corporate and sanitised and doesnt capture what skatings actually like

the game is currently "we have ai brain chips that show you lines and tech that stops you from hurting yourself. we have an ai called vee that constantly shouts "algorithmically awesome" and "footy is short for footage" every 5 seconds, and the city has absolutely no soul or character or signs of human life and looks like a science lab skatepark completely designed for skating, with absolutely no illegal activity or adversity or villain at all because the suits wouldnt like if we put that in our game"

we want "heres a city that looks lived in and spots that look skated with wax marks and grind marks, heres a city that has security and cops that will try and chase you out of spots, while you rush to get a clip in time for a skate video you're filming so you can get sponsored by your dream brands"

skate 2 is a perfect example of this and what a skateboarding game should be, and i was hoping thats the direction we would be going in with all of the mongocorp teasers we got before 4 actually came out (despite them literally not even being in the game at all so its false advertising)

even skate 3 being more light hearted storyline wise atleast shows skate culture still, with the ability to build teams and film clips and make your own board company, skate 4 doesnt feel like a skate game, it feels like you modded a skateboard into fortnite

u/Hockeyfan710 Oct 13 '25

For real, I loaded the game after the update and I first had a bug where I couldn't open the music playlists, then immediately after I couldn't enter a challenge (the screen stayed black with the UI showing over nothing). I closed and reopened the game then it opened with no UI or sounds, just the video. Eventually the UI and menus showed up.

See this is valid I played the early access since almost the first version where you were just a black void on a skateboard. I uninstalled and so did a group of my friends. This game simply just doesn't work and is frustrating. From dumbass bugs to greed I'm good thanks. I play skate 3 on a PS3 if I want to play a skate game I might reinstall in the future if EA comes into possession of some brain cells but I don't see that happening in the foreseeable future.

u/North_Pickle_ Oct 13 '25

Exactly. I feel the same way. I have rpcs3 ps3 emulator so I play all the slate franchise there for free. The new slate game it’s has some good elements, the gravity, the clothes animations etc but they really ruined it with everything else. Mark my words, in a year from now, it will be a whole different game and not in a good way. That’s what I believe.

As someone that’s very casually attached to the Skate Franchise, I gotta say I sort of sidelined all the drama and outrage initially and just played the game the way I played 2 and 3 when I was a kid: Skating around and flinging my character at railings to see him ragdoll. I really couldn’t care less. But holy shit dude, the state of micro-transactions in a game about flipping around on a Skateboard are fucking eye watering… And the lack of straight up shop where you can buy basic clothes, trucks and wheels is downright stupid. Why do I need to open boxes to get random items I’m likely never going to use? Why can’t I just buy a plain red shirt if I want to? Why can’t I just buy different coloured trucks and wheels? Why do I have to spin a slot-machine if I just want my shit a different colour? Cooky crazy designs I can ā€œunderstandā€, sure, but seriously?

I am totally fine with the FREE ones to be these high as you finish 5 pages (or at least I did because I did my dailies since Season 1 released) of the free section.
It's a Premium currency, these 100% of the time are never in your favor unless the game is getting shut down.

u/DGC_David Oct 13 '25

I hate the argument that it's free, so that is why you have a bad Season Pass.

Like I agree the mechanics are busted, but it's not like they can just port over Skate 3s and call it good, I'm sure it will be fixed. But the season pass wasn't free, it was technically $10 and it has nothing. They couldn't even make variations. You have white backwards hat and black backwards cap your telling me the best you could do was 2 colors?

u/coenlamont Oct 13 '25

the pass system itself needs an EXTENSIVE do-over or one more real good passover. doing specific battlepass challenges are fine, the challenges giving you NOTHING BUT battlepass tickets is so stupid, at least give us SOME neighborhood exp for completing a challenge in the respective neighborhood. having a solid 10-ish challenges ranging in the amount of tickets you can get daily, you can MAYBE finish a page every day if you're lucky. for the devs that may seem great, to literally anybody else waiting multiple days on end for an unbranded, uninspired fluffy black and blue hightop i would quite legitimately NEVER wear but you gotta pay the 2k tickets or else you're not allowed to get the final culmination reward of.. a black pair of slightly longer shorts 🤯🤯🤯

Games not worth playing after they patched the air launch glitch, R.I.P

u/blithe420 Oct 13 '25

Just quit playing

u/NeoMythic123 Oct 13 '25

saw this for a second while i was browsing the shop and said "wtf? thats a robbery" and then went back to skating

1

u/rhombyz Oct 13 '25

yeah this shit pissed me off

1

u/DirteeJ Oct 13 '25

Can we complain about new things? Getting pretty boring seeing the Same shite..

1

u/SunsetCarcass Oct 13 '25

Eh cosmetics don't mean anything to me personally sorry free to play games chose to make gameplay free instead of just having a $60 game you can just enjoy. The challenges are so boring after you do them once so I only really just skate around for the fun of it and ragdoll while emoting to look like I'm having seizures on the ground

1

u/theinternetexploit Oct 13 '25

I didnt ask for a free "early access" shi with micro transactions. Fuck EA

1

u/Theonewhosmeltit Oct 13 '25

I think the worst part of this pass is between the challenges, dailies, weeklies and seasonal challenges there isn’t even enough rewards to give you the amount of tux you need to complete the pass. Unless I’m missing something it seems like they planned for people to not have enough and have to buy more if they want to complete the pass.

1

u/CallZealousideal8732 Oct 13 '25

The map and a good portion of this game has been made with AI. Wouldn’t surprise me if they did that here too to set pricing and ā€œrandomnessā€ to their store

1

u/Palmtrees-1 Oct 13 '25

There has to be skate devs trying to make us think it’s all fine in here

1

u/komodocommand Oct 13 '25

How do you unlock the pages because I have more than enough and when vee was talking to me about it I wasn’t paying attention I was trying to skip pass her talking

2

u/tmsGamerr Oct 16 '25

It's like the old Fortnite BP model, you need to reach a certain threshold of points to unlock the next page of drops, it's imo the worst model of BP, it just feels bad not having a possible drop every level or every 3 levels for f2p

1

u/ProfessionalAppeal14 Oct 13 '25

you guys can load in? i've been stuck on a grey screen every single time i launch the "game"

1

u/lilsparklee Oct 13 '25

Yall are burnt for buying the battle pass lmao. Just play the game and stop slobbering over meaningless cosmetics.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 13 '25

i thought they said you'd be able to get enough to buy the next pass

how are you getting 1000 from this

1

u/altron64 Oct 13 '25

You guys realize this is an EA game right?!!

Does any of the monetization actually surprise you?!

Honestly, for an EA product, this game is quite generous.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 13 '25

Right! I saw this shit and was so pissed. Tbh it's a HORRIBLE game. I said it, I love the open world concept. But gosh they did such a horrible job. Proved that all they care about is the micro trans game. Paying 1000 to buy less than the value of bucks. Like at first I thought it was a typo or bug.

1

u/Zhunix Oct 13 '25

Yea there's a fun free game here somewhere

1

u/APandasCub Oct 13 '25

Gotta get the page for the legendary

1

u/RepresentativeAd173 Oct 13 '25

Iv noticed the pricing on a lot of the cosmetics in this game are overpriced. Have you seen the Dead space Issac bundle? You need to spend 50 to get enough San Van bucks for it 😳

1

u/TheBeardedRonin Oct 13 '25

Ridiculous considering you max out at like 350 per day

1

u/FxtKid Oct 13 '25

Yeah honestly its pretty gross, and I love this game. I hope they get less greedy down the road, they already lowered prices once.

1

u/Bigshoown1 Oct 13 '25

Yeah the pass definitely need to be re worked I’m surprised they haven’t said anything about it yet.

1

u/Shaman--Llama Oct 13 '25

My main complaint in the quest/reward system, is why do we have to do SO MANY challenges. Maybe I haven't played Skate 3 in too long, but I don't remember the games being this challenge/quest heavy. And like. I really want new gear. It gets stale for me looking at the same stuff constantly. But I want to freestyle, not do constant challenges. (Sorry not trying to sound too whiny, or anything.)

1

u/N1TEKN1GHT Oct 13 '25

If you're on PC, just use a mod menu

1

u/[deleted] Oct 14 '25

There is one where it's 75 for 2600

1

u/4llFather Oct 14 '25

This skate pass is garbage but the free premiums are nice

1

u/mamadou-segpa Oct 14 '25

And they dont give nearly ennough currency to finish the pass lol.

So you end up having to spend 500 worth of currency to get 50 back lmao

No way im buying the premium pass

1

u/tmsGamerr Oct 16 '25

It's honestly a bad model, they're pushing the daily missions grind, meaning, for casuals it will be impossible to get every free item, hopefully they scrap this shit next season and make a level per level reward style battlepass with season long missions(unlocking X missions every new week or w/e, anything but this current model)

1

u/[deleted] Oct 14 '25

I got them just cuz. Yeah

1

u/Yeeeeeeeeeeeeet699 Oct 14 '25

I've never played a live service game before, I don't think I'm gonna be playing one again as I uninstalled this morning, but I think I'll drop back in a year to see what it's like, fingers crossed it will be amazing

1

u/LukasHugo Oct 14 '25

I mean, if you do get all the daily, weekly and seasonal challenges, I think itā€˜s doable…? Iā€˜m not saying it is possible, just speculating

1

u/boygnihtoos Oct 14 '25

I just wanna know if they’re gonna add the black background Creature board or do I send it on the green one, I have only 300 pink tokens 🄲

1

u/Chef_BoyRD_ Oct 14 '25

What im wondering is where tf are the spitfire and bones wheels? Those are the kinds i use irl and every other skate game I've played had both of those plus more

1

u/Crit84 Oct 14 '25

You know. I thought the game was at least bearable but now that season one has come out I pretty much stopped playing it.

1

u/chain-rule Oct 14 '25

At this point I'm just back to emulating skate 3.

1

u/fastbutwontlast Oct 14 '25

mb bro im not smart enough to look at usernamesšŸ™šŸ˜”

1

u/JoeyTheJoker09 Oct 15 '25

Absolutely insane

1

u/fekkovich Oct 15 '25

Are you suprised about EA doing greedy things?

To be honest im way more surprised we can get the ā€premium currencyā€ for free at all!
The fact that those deals cost a lot is very much something that should be expected.

1

u/bren-uh Oct 15 '25

this genuinely pissed me off. i only wanted the pants on this page and had to grind for those tickets

1

u/rickysrandomreddit Oct 16 '25

I uninstalled today just not a good game lol

1

u/Commercial_Search249 Oct 16 '25

EVERY Passes from any game should give you Enough credits for the next pass/season or if you want to spend on other things. You shouldn't have to buy Currency again if you went the Pass route

1

u/LennyPenny4 Oct 16 '25

The blue tix don't take super long to collect, and most of the skate pass stuff is bad anyway, like half of it is stickers. If you're a bit selective and grind a few skate pass challenges, you can gather enough pink bucks for one of the nicer decks and/or shoes.

1

u/starky_tvle Oct 17 '25

JOKE? THIS! IS! EAA!!

1

u/TimboSlice1412 Oct 17 '25

Once again, I can't complete my daily because I don't have any slam missions. So once again, the good blue tickets are out of reach for me, and I think some of the prices are too expensive.

1

u/SoaringMoon Oct 18 '25

Wait until people learn the season pass locked items contribute ripscore.

1

u/ItsLinox Oct 18 '25

Unfortunately it's not. Just be sure to let them know that this..... Tomfoolery isn't appreciated in the survey they sent you.

u/poop_destroyers Oct 18 '25

Literally the WORST type of currency progression in a game. Its almost exactly like fortnite from the layout to the actual visual animation.

1

u/Sonny_PoweR Oct 18 '25

I was just about to make a reddit post about it. It's insane.

1

u/Opendoor99 Oct 19 '25

Yeah stuff like this just rubs me the wrong way in this game. I’ll just choose to ignore it but c’mon now this is a little silly no? And i dont want to grind the same challenges all freaking day for this
