I may have misunderstood, but I don't understand what you mean. Skate was made to reach a broad audience otherwise ea would want nothing to do with it. Bluntlabs has described the game he's working on as not having points at all because thats not what skating is about and no other person can decide how well or how many points something someone else did would be worth. Surely there will be people playing it like a tony hawk game but theyll be doing that because thats what they enjoy, not because the game entices them to play like that by rewarding them with points. I don't think the habits of certain players can affect what the game turns into unless the tools are already built into the game. People will use the tools the game provides them. Ps. We've been skating realistically for the most part since s1 demo. A lot of us did so in tony with stats turned to zero, and in thrasher before that.
