Skate’s Season 2 launched on December 2, bringing new skate spots, cosmetic drops, quality‑of‑life improvements, and the long‑awaited Impossible trick. While the content was welcomed, players quickly noticed unexpected changes to their avatars. Skin tones appeared darker, and faces looked tired or worn down, sparking memes and frustration across forums and social media. For many, these avatars represent personal style and identity, so unannounced visual shifts felt intrusive. The backlash overshadowed the season’s gameplay additions, turning what should have been a celebratory refresh into a debate over customization integrity and player trust in EA’s live‑service approach.
