along the same lines, i really hope they fix kinked rails/ledges, i want my skater to react to the kink, not stand up straight like it isn't there. and also i dont wanna fly out of kinks, unless its a short one and ive got alot of speed when i hit it etc.

really just give us more of options of out to get out of the trick

its like all these tricks they put in the game, not everyone will want to use them but its still there for those who do

In other words, there is Skate. 2, right in front of you on your T.V. You're given a very deep set of controls, animations, and options. It's up to you to decide how to hit a spot, what angle to come onto the spot, and how to manipulate your controller to make it look as clean and make it function as a trick properly.

If everything in Skate. is completely deliberate with a set control, it would get very boring and repetitive. Kind of like doing a kickflip over simple gap in Skate. right now. It's not hard, it's not unheard of, and it's not artistic (like real skateboarding). Anyone can kickflip a gap in Skate.

I'm pretty soused, so excuse the rant-style writing. I'm just trying to point out that there's a separation between recreational Skate. players and hardcore Skate. players. The recreational player is not going to figure out how to lean out of a boardslide like that, it's not that obvious to the non-skater or inexperienced skater. The hardcore player is just going to get bored with the easy controls. Skateboarders are creative people and like challenges when it comes to skateboarding. We like the reward that comes from accomplishing a trick... where does that personality go if everything is predetermined and written in a handbook?
