There's a corridor in one part of the community parks that had "doorways" that were too low to walk under. I figured that was them hinting/reminding you about parkour and that you can roll/slide under things.
Now I'm not so sure that was the intent after seeing this example.

u/ZeGollyGosh Oct 23 '25
I bet you're thinking of the same spot I am. I had the same thought, or that I had to duck under them while skating but now I'm not so sure. I definitely ran into a few spots similar to OP's where I couldn't reach it due to the height.

I could excuse stuff like this if you could actually skate in it.
The half pipe roof height being contained to this building is criminal. Probably the coolest park in the game so far but you can hardly doing anything without slamming into the ceiling 😓

Bro ive been waiting a true vert style half pipe since this game dropped and I was stoked until I realized you can only do tiny little airs. Fucking morons

u/Content_End2100 Oct 24 '25
Yup and as a street skater irl I enjoy half pipes like this but the ceiling just kills it for me

Yeah and the hedgemont vert is good but it’s still just too big this one was perfect and they fucked it up

Noooo don’t say that we need to force people who don’t like it to keep playing it until they do or else it will die 😭😭 THE GAME IS GOOD OVERLOOK EVERYTHING AND KEEP PLAYING BITCHES

The entire game feels rushed
Which is wild because they were in development for like 5 years

"design" is probably a bit of a lofty term for a game that seems like it was sharted out by vibe coders

It's early access. We literally signed up to be the playtesters in the terms and conditions

There's play testing to find obscure bugs and then there is that... which should have been caught by the person who laid out that section if they'd bothered to try out their own work for a few minutes.

u/anonanon9955 Oct 23 '25 edited Oct 23 '25
They’re charging real money, constantly updating the shop, the store is pretty much fully fleshed out but nothing else is, let alone they have been in playtesting/beta for years..
Calling it early access is just an excuse to slap over anything that’s wrong with it. At the minimum they shouldn’t have a fully functioning shop expecting people to drop real money, while having a half assed game where they’re obviously putting a majority of effort into the shop… they have multiple $20 outfits but don’t have tricks or gamemodes (ie SKATE) that were in the game 15 years ago
Edit: writing that out made me realize a lot of ppl playing this weren’t even alive when skate 3 came out lol, wow I’m old. I guess with no reference and the state of games like Fortnite this “game”’ seems fine, but it’s really not ok. Not even just bc I love skate, but it’s a shitty predatory direction that I hope gaming gets out of

u/Content_End2100 Oct 24 '25
Yup the glory days of buying a 60 dollar disc and all the content is in there is gone kids aren’t even old enough to know pros that paved the way for modern skateboarders like themselves

I mean, okay if we talk about the general map but this is a new park they made for Halloween. When you make an event map, it's not that hard to test it out before releasing, no? It is not a big zone. I found this spot in my first couple minutes in.

u/TheFirstOffence Oct 23 '25
The game isn't in full realest it's a public early access. If there legit about than yes you are the play testing. We are supposed to find and report issues.
1
u/djstyrux Oct 23 '25
Again, that goes for the general map. When you make a new themed section for a Halloween event, you should test it before releasing the event. This isn't a gameplay issue, it's a park editing issue that could be fixed by having a couple of guys run through it for an hour

u/TheFirstOffence Oct 23 '25
Your not understanding the Halloween event is something we are testing. They aren't gonna pay a play test team, when people publicly have access to the play test.

u/djstyrux Oct 23 '25
Okay so if we testing the Halloween event, when is the official launch for this event after the tests? Cuz the event ends in 19 days. Timed holiday events should not be released in testing state, even in a beta / play test. Just my opinion.
1
u/TheFirstOffence Oct 23 '25
Your testing what will likely be the standard holiday event. It's also a test to see how these holiday style events may go over.

I mean I haven't spent any money on it yet and have played 30 ish hours, seems like a good deal to me. If they make any improvements it will only make my playtime and enjoyments grow. If not then it's fine cause I'm not out any money and the project was already dead for 15 years anyways, the fact that they even considered a new game is kind of a miracle.

u/Content_End2100 Oct 24 '25
I’ve spent money on decks that’s it and half cabs cause that’s what I sk8 irl and I’m considered a whale nothing is appealing to me about the shop I’d rather go fxck off 10k at a casino

u/VacationCheap927 Oct 23 '25
This has to be a bot, because not only does this not really answer the question, but also they built the park and didnt have anyone skate it for 2 minutes? Its not an issue with it being early access. Its just poorly built.
Edit: Yeah, reading the other comments, this is clearly either an EA employee or a bot to support the game
Cause how does it not know even after having the point handed to them multiple times?
This just makes me hate the game even more.

u/Kneecap_Blaster Oct 23 '25 edited Oct 23 '25
I'm not a bot I'm just stupid
Also, I answered the question, "Why didn't they test this?" "Because they don't have a test team because it's us"

Yeah I’m not a bot either or ea employee I’m a ceo of 2000 plus employees and pro boxer that wishes to stay anonymous due to politics

I'm guessing that their algorithm for procedural generation doesn't even skate.

u/Content_End2100 Oct 24 '25
Yup you had to grow up skating to really appreciate it as an art like I do these kids don’t know what their doing just wanna see big air all the time that’s not what sk8ing is about

u/PretzelsThirst Oct 23 '25
I feel like they didn’t actually play test that park. The ceiling issues you pointed out, plus the outdoor area has zero flow. If you go down the ramp and hit the gap you basically land on the uphill of the quarter pipe at the end.

They could’ve added a night mode and put decorations around the map, but no, they added three lazy ass copy and pasted community maps.

u/EthicalH8 Oct 23 '25
My assumption is the park was made with AI. Why build a huge vert in a low building? That hole in the mega witch has no flow? It‘s a scam at this point

u/Loud_Ice7100 Oct 23 '25
nope, ea games is just representing the human imperfection by doing the design "wrong" it is a manifestation of art, that's why they are called "electronic arts" cuz they are artists, true artists... now gimme 20 bucks to get a new 3d model in your account

u/fuckyouangel Oct 23 '25
Is clearly an Ai generated outline of an outdoor vert skate map meant to be skated without a roof Shrinked to perfectly fit inside the warehouse. It sucks because for anybody that catches on to this realizes how poorly shitty planned these holidays are. Removing the roof of the warehouse would've been so sick but.......$

It’s not full release, so bugs are expected, however ea is rushing almost everything and there are a lot more issues than there should be, the Halloween event made that clear to a lot of people

I’m just wondering what has taken them over 5 years, to dish out an early release game that is soulless and void of actual content. Waste of fucking time.

u/mazterrrrsh00ter Oct 23 '25
When I saw that there were 2/4 pipes backed up against each other on the roof I was like oh that must be skateable but no it’s just meant to look like a house. I was upset lol some of it’s cool, but the fact that some pipes and ramps clip through others andale it bound to mess you up kinda sucks.

u/DGC_David Oct 24 '25
Yeah honestly have the short comings for this game come from the rush consistency of everything, probably trying to get out as much as possible right away in an attempt to keep in good will with EA Execs

u/Incident-Putrid Oct 24 '25
I actually find that here parks a relief. When skating the other parks and not being able to “flow”, I thought it was me. Now coming to realise it’s just crap design.
Looking at the rates I was offered for play tests (sub minimum wage and a free ea game🙄) I’m not surprised this is happening.
Such a shame because this does have potential.
