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
SimCity buildit introduced Services 2.0 and it destroyed my city I’ve been playing for over 10 years (level 87 with 4 regions). I had to destroy my city to try to get it compliant with services 2.0 and it really is basically impossible considering all of the omega and regional work that I had done. Someone at EA really needs to investigate this update and listen to what everyone is saying in the forums. We have lost so much and it’s not fair that everyone was set backwards. I’m not just complaining because it caused so much extra work, I’m sad because the update made us tear our cities up, including aesthetic landscaping. We had planned the Cities by the original rules and then they changed the rules. So unfair especially when people are paying real money to play the game. Making someone destroy their own city they spent years building just isn’t right. They should had never downgraded everyone’s existing services. The money and gifts that were given do not cover people with larger lands and regions. Especially when it comes to omega and regional coin, and the need for more land. Services 2.0 was a massive let down for long term players. It’s sad having 3 million in coin (before the gift) and it’s all gone. Even maxing out all of the upgrades still do not cover the surrounding buildings. Plus often you upgrade a service and it does not effect the other buildings, just waisting more coins. Many have said that they just have to destroy their own buildings.
2.0 - Massive scam, greed, & big mistake by developers.
I’m at Level97 and with 4 regions-never able to get to the 5th region because of the limited land masses, and now it has gone to red in services and utilities! I enjoyed playing for years and designing the cities and theming them by holidays. After many years and hours and real-$$$, I think it is time to say goodbye to this game and move on. SADNESS
