E5 SUPER SIM CARD BUYING GLITCH.

Report on the Train Festival Reward Glitch in SimCity BuildIt

 

E5 Super Sim Card and the Special Store:

A key highlight of the Train Festival event in SimCity BuildIt was the E5 Super Sim Card, a special item offering exclusive advantages. Players were supposed to receive 10 E5 cards per week during the event, with a special store added in the final (fourth) week allowing the purchase of 10 additional cards.

 

Reward Glitch and Player Experience:

During Week 2 and Week 3, a glitch caused many players, including myself, to receive incorrect rewards instead of the expected E5 Super Sim Cards. Although the event interface showed the cards as rewards, different and unrelated items were delivered instead.

 

Despite this being a widespread issue, there was no compensation or return of the missing cards from the developers. This was especially frustrating for players who were actively participating and possibly spending resources in anticipation of collecting all available cards.

 

Conclusion:

The reward glitch, along with the absence of any resolution or acknowledgment, negatively impacted the player experience. While the event itself was well-designed, such technical issues and lack of communication from the developers undermine trust and fairness in futu

re events.

    Besides the 6 cards you need level 16 rail sim wallet as well, good luck with that

    I have the train in my city but not in my other as I was affected by the glitch. I still need 6 cards to unlock it and would be nice if the developers did give out more cards etc to finish it off

    I also wonder if I will ever be able to unlock this train, as I did not purchase an item needed during the season to get enough cards. It would be nice if they became available like every other train.

  • Same issue over here! Very frustrating getting the run around, as all I’ve been told is it’s a known issue, that is still under investigation. Yet, somehow, other players have had the issue resolved for them already, but there’s so many others who seem to be left in the dark. 

  • I hope the train will be continuing as a normal train, one of my cities has it and its at level1, i need 15 cards to upgrade, with rail simoleons, not seasonal currency. The other city only has 30 cards, so no train. If  it continues as a normal train update everyone can continue!

  • Did you contact EA? Over on the subreddit for the game I'm active in, quite a few people posted about this glitch, and after contacting EA through the in game portal quickly received the E5 Super Sim cards they were expecting, and got to keep the cards the game gave them by mistake
