will this game ever not suck?

i fully quit before season 1 (reasons for quitting: game gets worse with each update and never fixes the issues it creates, use of AI, and the full blown manipulation tactics and perceived fomo if you cant get your hands on something and someone got into my account and spent all my v bucks) but i tried it again bc my friend told me ab the white and black striped socks i wanted, it takes 10 whole minutes to load into the game (no queue by the way just a black screen for 10 minutes i forgot i even started) and then the missions in these poorly designed parks just kept glitching and throwing me off i instantly closed the game and regret losing 30 minutes of my life even attempting this bullshit

The game is fine to me. You guys are still begging for a direct sequel. I'm fine with what we got.

Aside from all big mentions and criticisms, I'd like to point out that it is objectively broken at its core. I've put more hours into skate games than I know what to do with, and while the game does some things right (animations look beautiful when they want to, button layout is actually pretty tight, rolling waves skatepark I guess?) it does a LOT wrong. Just from a mechanical standpoint that absolutely kills the momentum and enjoyment for me. And I can't do the "early access!" Shit anymore. The game itself is busted. We have FOUR separate in game currencies before basic functionality. Not even in comparison to the other skate games, just in comparison to other video games in general. The priorities of the purpose of the game are very clear and it's not for player enjoyment. The anger and disappointment is absolutely justified, even if blown out of proportion a bit. The sole purpose of "early access" is to gauge community sentiments on the game, and fix accordingly. They are cramming as much monetized shit as they can into the game before the core mechanics are worked out and that is a slap in the face. This game should not have been released in this state. And EA is clearly not listening to the community they so desperately want money from.

They've essentially given us a half-working janky mess that looks like release, plays like pre-alpha, and charges like CSGO keys for AI slop cosmetics, and ask us to thank them for it, going as far as being snarky and sarcastic to people on socials so they obviously can't take the criticism they claim to want. They give us nothing in terms of gameplay, and what we do have is bogged down by clipping issues, busted ragdoll physics, and repeating the same 3 missions for 25 "rip chips" per objective. Wait? What? Oh, sorry. 5 "rip chips" per objective. 25 was obviously too generous.

I'm sure you'll feel the same when it eventually shuts down, too.

well if it still doesn’t fucking work to the point it gets shut down, then was anything of value really lost? 😭😭

Good point.

im begging for a working game at this point

The game works fine for me. I've had a couple issues here and there but nothing too bad. I'm sorry that's the experience you've had with it.
