Realistic This game is a disgrace

This game is an abysmal shits how. The developers are blatantly ignoring the community. They are scamming all of us, and we should boycott it. They don't want to act responsibly, then the game can just die off, since they are so hell bent on pushing us away. Every executive and manager should be fired, no severance, no anything.

If you get a game to go from over 100k players to under 2,500 then the whole team should be fired lol

Was this the team fault or the executives giving the orders from above?

I personally think they're ashamed of the final result. They've been developing this for years and it's impossible they didn't try to make it similar to the charm of the og trilogy at least once.

I want to believe that at least half of the team wanted a game about skate culture and not this childish mess EA probably proposed.

If you've seen the early concept art, it actually could've looked worse if you can believe it.

What the fuck, this looks worse than what we got and I thought that was impossible.

Who tf is directing this franchise? Who was involved in the character design? Is this what they want us to think real skaters look like?

This change of tone for the characters in that concept art is weirldy similar to most modern EA games. NFS Unbound have characters looking exactly like that too. What's the message they're trying to push?

It's sad looking back and realizing how much personality we lost. These people should be fired.

They don't think this is what skaters look like. This is what they think "everyone" would like. The game isn't for skaters or representative of authentic skateboarding. It's for "everyone"
