Feedback on Services 2.0 - Can we have more expansions?

I've been playing this game for  10yrs.im worried about this update. Does that mean all my hard work will be lost? I don't want this update tbh.

Same here. Just got a message saying services 2 is getting rolled out to all Mayors. They did not listen!

They seldom do, unless it's something that might make players throw money at the game.

My city is only level 68. I believe Services 2.0 are worse for higer level cities because so many “red” residential homes  that suddenly appear are overwhelming. 

I think the main problem is, that when  Services 2.0 arrive, you have no idea what works and  what does not.  I wasted a lot of Simoleons  upgrading Services and roads in my regions during the first week.   I stopped wasting Simoleons only after I had no more Simoleons and I realized that what I was doing would not provide results I needed. 

I had to put all population boosters into storage to make room for necessary reorganisations and to avoid road upgrades. (I really wasted too many Simoleons and NeoSimoleons to upgrade roads.)

I buldozed about  10% of residential buildings in my Capital (like OldTown, Kyoto, Parisian and London homes - I planed to get rid of these for ages, so I am not complaining).

Prior Services 2.0 I could not afford more than one of each of Omega services. With Services 2.0, Omega Services (power, water, …) level 1 are affordable, so I replaced old services with Omega Services  as fast as I was able to collect  NeoSimoleons and buldozed the old now redundant services  (to get regular Simoleons).

The most useful thing I had was Maxis Manor - it has infinite capacity (needs no upgrades). 

It took about 4 weeks  to get comfortable again, about 8 weeks to get all my population back where it was prior Services 2.0.

 I have not spend any real money to make my population 100% happy. However,  the first 3 weeks of Services 2.0 were stressfull.  

This post has given me some hope. Thanks

I love this game ohh! Wait i used to love this game. I cant spend the whole day upgrading services that i have bought and placed strategically now all of a sudden they do not meet the demand and i have to constantly upgrade them. I have a job i have a life, same job that pays for the buildit premium. 

I agree…. Implementing 2.0 in fully built cities does mean demolition of buildings is inevitable.  Please consider that it may swing the balance in a decision to leave or stay.  Long Term Mayors play vital roles within clubs lending their experience to new and mid level players.  They are essential to the success of the game going forward.  Give us some more room to move things around, it will help morale.

EA claims this update will save space in our cities when it's doing the exact opposite even though I fully upgraded all my services such as electricity and it's still not enough and I need to build even more services taking up more of the limited space I have.

Here's a suggestion bring back the original demand levels but allow us to upgrade the buildings to increase it's capacity.
