I am writing to express my serious concern regarding the recent Services 2.0 update in .
Since the update, cities that were previously stable are now facing major balance problems. Service buildings have become significantly more expensive, their coverage has been reduced, and many long-established cities are being forced into large-scale rebuilding just to maintain basic functionality. This has created unexpected challenges for players who have invested considerable time and effort into developing their cities.
These changes have disrupted the balance and stability of existing cities and negatively affected the overall gameplay experience. I respectfully request that your team review and rebalance the Services 2.0 system, especially with consideration for cities built under the previous system.
Resolving these issues is essential to maintaining game stability and preserving the trust and satisfaction of long-term players.
Thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to your response and to improvements in future updates.
Sincerely,
Utshab Debnath
This just recently hit my cities. I jumped on here to see if other's experiences were the same, which evidently they are. I initially just noticed it on the fire, police, et al. That was somewhat manageable as it used regular currency and EA offset that a bit. Not so much with the utilities… This morning I just noticed it on all my utilities, power, water, etc. Likewise, I just burned through all my Omega currency and was able to upgrade only a small fraction of the needed services. I don’t care for Omega buildings so only have a handful, and therefore limited capacity to earn Omega currency. Like many others, I enjoy designing beautiful, cities over just cramming as many buildings on a finite grid to achieve the greatest population possible. II’ve been at this game too long to tear everything down and start over. This is the point where I move on to something else, unless EA does something to remedy this…
Have a look in your regions as well, you have to them also. I’ve spent well over 10million sims, countless omega and nowhere near being finished. This update is absolutely horrible for long time players.
AGREE!!!!!!
