The first EA skate is an all-time favorite to many skaters of the 2000's. It featured an alternative punk rock soundtrack, and Icons such as Paul Rodriguez, Rob Dyrdek, and Danny Way. In the game's career mode, It's realistic "grind" to become a successful pro skater made the game seem much more than just a game. Most of all, the original EA skate had the most realistic tricks out of all the other EA skate games.

A remastered EA skate should obviously include 4k textures, better quality audio (soundtrack, sound fx), and possibly re-recorded audio from the original voice actors.The remastered EA skate character should be able to be customized head to toe (and board of course). In order to make the game more realistic, EA should collaborate with skating brands such as SUPREME, THRASHER, and many more, to include real apparel that they have released. It would also attract the "streetwear" audience that is has largely increased in recent years.
