If You're Playing Skate, Change These Settings ASAP

Here is a 187-word summary of the news article: The new free-to-play Skate game from EA has sparked discussion among longtime fans, but one aspect they seem to agree on is the feel of skating, which captures the essence of the original games. However, the game's default settings may not provide the same experience. To make the new Skate feel more like the old Skate, the article recommends adjusting several settings. In the Gameplay menu, players should turn down all the "Assists" options to make the experience more unforgiving and true to the original games. In the "On-Board Helpers" section, players should turn off all the settings, except potentially leaving "Prevent Low Air Spins" on initially. Additionally, the article advises players to turn off the ability for other players to place ramps in the world, which can be done in the Quick Drop menu. Finally, players may want to disable the game's narrator, Vee, in the Audio settings to avoid her repetitive commentary. By making these tweaks, players can recreate the challenging, authentic Skate experience they remember from the original games.
