Skate 2 Impressions

I've given up hope that I'll ever be able to beat this challenge. Carroll is pretty much unstoppable. I would have to say that I've spent close to an hour and a half on this challenge alone...and he's never missed a trick. By my calculation, that puts him at about 756 for 756 in the landing tricks department.

Anyone able to beat this yet? I even tried to cheese and use the 540 spins like you could in the first game...but can't pull them off either. It's gonna be very frustrating if this is the one challenge that keeps me from 100%.

I spent 10 minutes on it and gave up (it was late at night)...I don't have anywhere near the right stick control yet, and it seems like you'll have to be perfect in order to beat that pro challenge.

I was actually up on both of them, no letters to S.K. each. I hit probably something like 50 tricks in a row and they never missed, so I canceled. I found that to be the most ridiculous challenge I've ever seen. It's the only thing listed in my "Career" challenges, and that's pretty silly if I have to beat that to get any more.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that found it ludicrous. I mean, I was pulling everything in the world that I could think of and they'd both hit it almost every time.

Whenever they do finally miss and I get to set the trick I end up hitting the rail? I never hit the rail when trying to copy, but when setting thats a different story.

I had a lot of trouble with this challenge as well. I finally beat it by using 540s and triple kickflips. I really didn't want to have to resort to those tactics, but doing tricks and having them replicated for 3 hrs. doesn't sound like fun.

I was making such great progress (800 Gamerpoints already), but this Koston/Carroll Pro challenge plus the ~25 Throwdowns (1-on-1 S.K.A.T.E. games against ALL Pros) will likely prevent any chance of me getting the full 1000

I still can't understand why such challenges are in career mode (even in Skate 1) when its based almost entirely on luck against CPU skaters. Leave it to multi only next time please.

I played my first throwdown against Dyrdek and it was easy. He missed his first trick and I beat him after about 8 tricks. I'm thinking they'll all be like that. But not the pro challenge. BTW I sometimes miss when trying to do 360's. How are you getting 540's off such a little ramp?

im loving that in the challenges you can actually beat them by doing realistic things.

you dont have to do impossible flip tricks to grinds to flip tricks out spinnign around grabbing to beat them... pretty sick.
