I gave it time.
I went through more advanced tutorials again and saw that I could practice tracing the uber patterns to see how it should feel. I found out I needed to slow down just a little bit and I could pull them off with ease. After I mastered the slalom (which pissed me off the most) I could see the game for what it is. I'm building stats now, and after understanding the controls, SSX Blur is a very fun game. Some major reviewers are calling the controls crap, and complaining that the uber tricks are random and near impossible to pull off. Gaming has been dumbed-down in recent years to appeal to a more broader market. If you are a gamer you will agree with that at least. It is good to see a game that requires a certain level of skill to play well come back into the gaming market. The people writing these reviews are professional journalists, but to call them professional gamers would be an insult to anyone who calls themselves a gamer. I trust reviews to help me make smart purchases, but when reviewers are giving games bad scores based on how hard it was for them and based on their inability to play it correctly, their judgment is seriously called into question.
