EA Skate is an open-world skateboarding game built around a two-stick control scheme called Flickit, where each trick comes from a flick of the analog sticks rather than button combos. You build a skater, film clips, and rise from nobody to a name in the fictional city of San Vanelona, with a fully reactive city and a roster of real pros. It sits opposite the Tony Hawk series: less arcade, more deliberate and physics-driven, which some players found rewarding and others found punishing. It suits players who want a simulation-leaning skate game with a steep learning curve.

Players praise the Flickit controls and the sense of weight and realism, calling it a genuine alternative to the Tony Hawk games. Many also note the steep learning curve and occasional camera and physics problems.
EA Skate is a skateboarding game for Xbox 360. It uses Flickit dual analog control, so players perform tricks with the two analog sticks to capture the feel of real-world skating.
The game is set in the city of San Vanelona, where players define their own story and can become famous or infamous. The city reacts to the player: skaters can mess with security guards, navigate traffic and impress citizens. Players can create their own skater's style, personality, animation and physics.
In-game editing tools let players capture their best moves and share them online. Pro skaters featured include Danny Way, Mark Gonzales, Rob Dyrdek, Mike Carroll and P.J.
