Think this is a big enough theme for a new active tread!
Took this from another tread:
EA needs to make a skiing game!! they should just do
EA snow, have it snowboarding and skiing, and with the same controls
and physics of skate. so like you butter with one stick and control
your skis or board like with ollies, nollies, shifties, and stuff, then
the other stick controls the body, like grabs and everything. then like
skate have the game based around a city type area, like summit county
kinda thing, have like 2 different resorts, a backcountry pass, then a
town in the middle of it all, so you like ski down off the resort, then
go into town and find urban spots and stuff, or go to the pass and hit
backcountry stuff.if they made it skiing and snowboarding they
seriously would sell twice as much, skiing is pretty damn big now, and
its pretty sad that we really havent had a freestyle skiing game when
like bmx and rollerblading have. if they made it skiing and
snowboarding, just as many snowboarders would buy it, but literally
every skier that plays video games would buy it for sure, because you
know every skier out there has been waiting for a legit ski game and
its been way too long, i would buy the console that it came out on if i
didnt have it yet, and im sure alot of other people would too. they
would make a shit ton of money and make alot of people happy.

Word! Haven't played skate myself, but the concept sounds dope! That +
Having a career mode where you start from scratch, riding just your
home mountain and doing easy tricks in the start. Progressing to do
more epic stuff, and having to buy new gear to get more style points.
You would have to attend small comps and getting involved with people
who will bring cameras and make small edits, you have to send to the
right brands to get sponsors. And evolving to ski new mountains, attend
more comps, learning more tricks, get new sponsors, making movies with
more and more respected company's, and going from pow segments in your
home resort, to heliskiing in Alaska! Building your own BC jumps,
starting to hold invitationals where YOU pick the format, and design
the jumps/rails. And it would be sick if some of these comps could be
online, and you score among other gamers! You could do so much with a
game like this! And guess what, a lot of people who don't do sports at
all would buy it! I don't know to much about Americans when it comes to
buying things like this, but what i do know is that norwegian kids
would! And it would just be EPIC!
Some gamers here should put up a really good concept and take it to EA
in a serious way, with as many pro skiers and boarders backing them up
as possible! If anyone got contacts this would work! Let's dream and do
what we can about this people!
