The team behind EA's Skate series is quick to address concerns that the series will end up like the relatively stale Tony Hawk Pro Skater series of games.
Shaun Laker, the associate producer for environments on Skate 2, explains how they'll continue to keep the experience fresh for gamers.

Shaun Laker, the associate producer for environments on Skate 2, explains how they'll continue to keep the experience fresh for gamers.
“As long as we keep putting out great games and don’t rush it out and polish it and make sure we’re listening to the community and hearing what they’re having to say [we will avoid that],” said Laker. “A big part of it too — and what drove our features this year — is we were finding out how people played the game. We know people play the game to find their own spot and to own it to be able to call it their own. This year, you can go and do that, and in a community, you can share it. That’s how we stay fresh and we don’t go too far; we listen to the community and know what they’re asking for and respond to that.”
With there being only two titles now in the Skate series, it may be a long while before it begins to suffer from any signs of "Tony Hawk syndrome."Source
