This may have been said already, but things like waxing ledges, getting hurt, breaking boards, skate stoppers, and all that "realistic" stuff would get monotonous and BORING (maybe even aggravating) within a month of the game coming out.

I think having the option to wax the ledges as an animation, not a requirement or add skate stoppers or turn on the option to break a board would be cool to add to videos, but as a requirement. NO NO NO, terrible idea.

Not only that, but it adds a ton of development time and doesn't allow the developers to focus on the things they should have. Forinstance, head tracking on switch crooks, level design, etc...

Just my two cents.
