Taken from cuz's latest blog found here: http://skate.ea.com/blog.action?blogId=skate3blog_Nov13-20091114124932072.xml

I know some of you have been wondering about this “accessibility” thing we’ve been talking about. Here’s the deal…we are trying to do a better job of opening the metaphorical door of the game to more people. We have generally done a poor job of “teaching” people how to skate. We’ve had a bit of a skater’s attitude…in other words, “Here’s a board. You figure it out.” This time around, we’re aiming to open the door a bit wider. Quite frankly, we need to if we want to keep making new spots to Skate. So, yes…that means their will be an easy mode. But…and here’s where the M2AF applies to you guys…there will also be a setting that makes the physics/gameplay a tad harder. Like not Easy. Not Normal. You know…ummmm…Difficult. But, “difficult” is a bad name as it is weird when games have a Difficult Difficulty Setting. Hardcore? Hmmmm…another rollerboard game may be utilizing that verbiage. Well, looks like we need a name. But, here’s a glimpse at what it means…
Low pop? Yep. You have to really crack it to pop large. Otherwise, it’s low city. Or sometimes even a slam (or new and mproved run-out). Three push max speed? Nope. 5(ish) to hit speed. That’s right, more fidelity over speed…if you so desire. Auto-pump? Nope, work it for your own damn self. Grind assist? Turned down. Not off, that’s still to gnar…you’ll still have to find the places we miss for that, but the challenge will be there. There are a few more things happening under the hood…stay tuned for details on that

So stop complaining, this sounds awesome.

I knew they weren't ignoring us, and as demz has been saying all along, most of the stuff is in there to make it more accessible. They have been listening, and I am unbelievably excited. This, and hopefully the skate park editor, updated replay editor, etc. will definitely make this the greatest skating game ever!

no it wont its gonna suck i mean the graphics arent dark and over saturated like skate 1 was. the frame rate is at a blurry 60 frames instead of the crisp 30 frames and whats worse they actually listened to what we wanted. WORSE GAME EVER!
