Lag since winter 2017 update
Since the most recent update - which added the holiday snowflake challenges and emojis - my game is very laggy. There's about a one-second delay. This causes me to push buttons I don't want to push. ...

Something changed and now the game has lag. Stalls on touched items like it's trying to write to a full hard drive or something.. can't play this anymore, unplayable with this condition. Something needs to be fixed . My teammate with the same device has the same issues, I hope you get it fixed soon, it's been like this for about 2 weeks now, maybe something with that snowflake addition code
Everyone in our club has been complaining about it, since the snowflake update.
Hopefully when the snowflake thing is gone in a few days, the game will be playable again, it's seriously hard to play right now.
Yep it’s bad. I’m playing on an iPhone 8+ which is pretty much top of the line and the game lags all over the place. But EA doesn’t give two *snip* in the end. It’s all about money to them so maybe they’ll fix it and maybe they won’t. They do not care about us at all. Money money money money.

The lag seems to be getting worse each day...
I'm playing on an Nvidia K1 Gaming Tablet... that less than a year ago, was considered the fastest best gaming tablet made... and seriously... the lag is so bag now, that I have to intentionally watch to see if the items in the game are moving before clicking, else when the game unfreezes it clicks on random things and bad things happen.
This game has gone from fun to pay, to amazing to play, to totally ridiculously annoying to play, all in the span of 18 months.
EA should fire the entire developer staff. Or the entire developer staff should walk out on EA.
I'm the VP of a very active club, and I'm tempted to tell my entire club to just come back in a few weeks when the snow flake update is supposed to be gone, and we will see if this game is playable - or we all just delete it.
- It's definitely a game issue. My entire club is having this problem.
- Yes this is ridiculous. Missing out on items or purchasing wrong items.
I contacted EA and they blamed my new gaming phone. Said it is my Samsung galaxy s7. They are too lazy to fix it. Just making excuses that it is on our end. Makes for unenjoyable game playing.- It is definitely getting worse. Delays in EVERYTHING. It’s like playing over a 1000ms latency connection with everything I do. Totally unacceptable. As I’ve said elsewhere on this forum I’m done with EA in regards to future purchases. I’m voting with my wallet and so should the rest of you.
Ok guys.. after much investigation! I RESET my tablet back to factory default. NO UPDATES! DO NOT UPDATE THE OPERATING SYSTEM! I reinstalled ONLY this game and disabled the updates. The game is back to smooth as .. as.. something that is really smooth! :-) okay Glass .. smooth as glass! try it out! .. I believe the guys doing the updates are pulling a APPLE_upgrade_so_nothing_works_and_TRICK_us_into_buying_new_hardware thing!
WORKED FOR ME! Pass it on!
