Area Services Improvements Are Coming to SimCity BuildIt

Community Manager,

Oh so you are listening! Maybe......

There have been hundreds of complaints of this forum where a community manager has not given a reply to a players post. So I guess we should be grateful that you have said: "we heard your feedback"?

First of all what took so long? Service 2 rollout was in February 2026. And as the player posted below why are these improvements coming out AFTER most players have quit or spent hordes of resources, reduced population due to having to redesign the city layout, just to try and fix what service 2 took away from us. This boondoggle of an update; little more than a cash grab, cost us over 10 million Simoleans and over a month of game freezing because we could not access our EMS, or Utility Services. Which our cities happiness went crashing down only to collect a few thousand Simoleans in taxes per day instead of 30k per day.

Instead of EA and the gaming team ADMITTING that they made a mistake you have color coated it by saying "we have listened to your feedback". What about the players that have quit this game? How are you going to draw them back in? The potential loss in game revenue is how much? EA does not even know the answer to that question.

How are you going to reciprocate the players that spent hours and hours, untold amounts of resources rebuilding their cities that took them years to complete? Along with service 2 you should have renamed this game: SimCity Rebuild It.

We all would have much preferred an admission of guilt, something that was more honest to the players for releasing service 2. EA, the gaming team, the development team should be grateful that EVERYONE did not quit.

As far as the "new services" are concerned they will never be the same as when we first started playing SCBI. Can you answer this question honestly? Why did you even release service 2? It goes without saying that this rollout should have been reversed immediately after its release, not 4-1/2 months too late.

A better line of thinking would have been - lets streamline the game, get it back to where it once came from. There are so many new ideals added to SCBI that one could hardly recognize it was first released as an updated morph of SimCity.

We will have to wait and see what the players think about this "stepping back" on EA's part.
