I know that the EA Skate Reel is not the best format for sharing your compiled images, videos and experiences – but at the moment it’s all we have.
The fact that it is still in Beta is, in my opinion, admittance by EA that they have not really spent any time sorting it out.
With the issues people have logging into the Skate Reel site, linking their gamertags and finding their videos it’s not surprising that the site has not crawled out of Beta yet.
What would you change about the site to make it a better experience for all?

Comments don’t work, and that needs to be changed. Also, it would be nice to have a download button rather than making people use a video ripper to get their videos into a usable format.
should be able to change sponsor or sign off of one cuse i accidently selected girl when i was tring to get flip
* make the URLs not redirect to language select
* auto-play clips (maybe an option)
* auto-repeat after short pause (2 or 3 secs)
* clips higher on page (don’t have to scroll down)
* always have “next” button
should be able to choose sex on the skater, have lot’s of girl friends hwo
plays the game.
I agree! It was a bit sexist not to allow girls!0
More Camera perspetives in the Replay…
Pointfixed Camera.
More Camera positions in the game
Get off of the board (go stairs up)
i agree with lenni, fixed point cameras would be good. but also the ability to either zoom in or out from the default camera positions. scrap the video effects if extra space is needed, this can be done easily enough on windows movie maker!
Indeed, they need to put in of boardmovement. Be able to run and climb and be able to do a fixed drop-in. I would also like to see darkslides (grind the topdeck) and they should makeém really hard to do. With the replays they need to save it to a manageble mediafile and I would like to be able to put the camera where I want it. This because me and my buddy were doing non stop backflips crossing one another but it took forever to get a replay in wich you can see both of us doing are flip.
have more nike sb’s and sponsors like oakley. ogio. skull candy. etnies shirts. red bull espccially red bull hats would be sick
They should really incorporate Highest Rated/Most Viewed within different time frames and not overall. (i.e. Highest for the Week/Month and so forth). After each of the 2 previous titles launched the skatereel online it is virtually impossible to see more recent good clips. All you have is either the same vids everytime you check it or a clip with a single 5 star rating. As it is now I’d be willing to bet 80% of the highest rated videos now are the same ones online as were last year.
Hell for that matter they could incorporate a ‘Skate 3 Gamer of the Month’ by votes and push people to go more crazy with editing your videos in skatereel.
Also, a more argued topic is leave the Glitch stuff alone! I understand if the made updates to eliminate using these in multiplayer mode, but I miss the fun of glitching your way to an ‘unreachable’ area to set spawn markers on and go crazy. Once the game is out for a year or so I tended to feel alittle confined to the map and once you learn certain glitch/tweaks it’s almost like a ‘rebirth’ of the game, roaming all over the place looking for spots that you can incorporate these techniques to start unusual and fun lines.
and NOW i realize this is an old article between Skate 1 &2!
