    5. Multiple Controller schemes – This follows for console, but also ability for custom button mapping
    6. Meters for spin control – To help controll how much you spin.
    7. Usable Gadgets – Ability to put some of the current gadgets to practical use.
      • Hiking Poles equipped allow for faster hiking adventures or auto hike feature.

    12. Avalanches – Many may not know the death of Matilda Rapaport during the research of this project. We assume Ubisoft is paying their respects by keeping avalanches out of Steep. I respect this decision, but do also see the thrill it would give ‘virtually’ for players.

    14. Speed Ski – Update wing control to R1/L1 instead of one joystick.
    15. BASE – Ariel tricks and running start

Give us tools for everything we would need – preset mountain ranges to choose from, different types of ramps, objects to place, scenery such as types of trees, cabins, potties, cars, and grindable objects all along with a grid system for easy use.
    5. Free roam Korea
    6. Licensed parks and resorts – A Massif full of world known parks and resorts with replica design. Example: Whistler, Mt. Baker, Breckenridge
  • Tricking
    1. Add a dominant stance and implement switch riding. This will easily double variations of tricks.
    2. Point system overhaul – Lot of complaints of repeat tricks and glitches for leaderboard competitions.

  • Major Bugs/Issues
    1. Maximum Number of Lines – Disrupts current riding and content creation
    2. Frame rate issues during other riders nearby

      • Magnetic rocks – rock faces or jumps pull the player upwards or backwards
      • Rail Super Jump – Randomly but recreatable – players are shot up into the air at exponential rate while near or on grindable objects.
    4. Mutails and Holycrails not registering on small jumps
