Global Trade Market...questions...concerns...complants!!!

There are SO MANY different posts about the SAME issue, I decided to merger them together. Hopefully the development team will see this thread and make changes to the global trading market! And with all the posts being in one place make it easier on EA team to find them all.

The global market is worse now than before I update. I think I've only successfully purchased an expansion item once. There always already bought. Now if I risk entering the HD the game crashes.

More trades than the NYC exchange??? Come on, don't flatter yourself EA, your not that important.
How about fixing your broken game and stop patting yourself on the back.

I too have the same damn problem. Though I am using A MotoX on the Android platform with 10mbps Broadband speeds. The lag from the Trade HQ is terrible. I have very little luck purchasing high commodity items. Its quite ridiculous. If EA wants to make ALOT more business, they should nail down this PROBLEM before the next update.

If they are doing a crappy marketplace intentionally to drive people towards spending real non-sim money, they have failed miserably.
All they have done is reduce my game play time. At first I would spend about 2 hours playing, now I spend about 20 mins get frustrated, and quit.
I would have spent 5.99 for a real game. This is just ridiculous

Unbelievably unevolved "Global Trade Market". My 11 year old son could have come up with a more evolved user interface than the team hired by EA to accomplish this overly simplified interface they call a "feature".

As always EA, you manage to astound even those who are well seasoned in what to expect in your "quality" (read: sarcasm) games.

Wow, now the Global HQ is even more useless. Right now it is making me wait 30 seconds to refresh.
"Ads will refresh in 30 seconds"
At least before if something "disappeared" and wasn't available I could keep refreshing now I have to wait. At this rate I'll never be able to buy anything.
EA please revert as this makes the game unplayable now!

Ads will refresh in 30 seconds!!? Update is worse than before. Is this deliberate so it will revert to how it was and we won't think it's that bad!? I have 30 seconds of light bulbs until the next lot of light bulbs appear for 30 seconds. I thought I would tap on something I didn't need and surprise surprise there was nothing for sale but back on the GT page the item was clearly still for sale! Come on EA, please sort this out.

30 second refresh has completely broken Global HQ. They might as well just take it out of the game.
