Session Skate might be really glitchy but overall I think it looks a lot more realistic than XL. It's a shame progress is so slow, and the locations are quite limited, at least I've grown rather tired of skating the same spots at this point. The game should turn out incredible once they get more work done since it's already better than XL while still being in development.
The worst issue is the lack of a proper sensation of weight.
I put on Ea Skate 3 the other day and it looks so smooth compared to either XL or Session, but that's all, going back to those controls feels impossible and restrictive.
