Latest update ruined the game

I've been playing SCB for years.  My Capital City has a population of over 11M.  The latest update of the game is, by far, the worst one I've dealt with.  The Trade Depot interface requiring you to hit the BACK icon to exit it is HORRIBLE.  I am so used to just tapping anywhere on the screen to exit out.  Don't get me started on the REFRESH button now being located all the way to the right side of the list is another huge annoyance.  The algorithm that controls what shows up in the trade center now basically shows hamburgers, fries and mountain items.  I can't tell  you the last time anything of use was found.

Another gripe - not related to the latest update - is that if you decide to stop using a railroad bridge, the game now inserts a bumper to the end of the track that now sticks out from the end of the bridge and takes up a 1x2 space in the play field.  That end of track bumper came flush with the end of the bridge when they added the RR bridges to the game, there's no reason why the bumper can't be flush with the end of the bridge if you decide to demolish the track and stop using the bridge for whatever reason.

I'm at the point where I am just collecting my daily monies and dispatching trains and not doing anything else in the game.  I've completely stopped building anything and only visit the trade center to see if things might have improved in the algorithm.

Congrats EA - you're losing a long time player to silly updates that no one asked for.

  • Did you get the apology message today. I laughed reading it. They say that they have listened to the complaints. But they really haven’t because nothing has really changed. The update is still trash.

    I agree. I am a casual player . Everything is out of reach for me, especially getting the last region. I don’t know how some players got them all but don’t have nearly enough population. Trains take up too much space especially since bldgs need to connect to roads. And you can’t run trains in different regions at the same time.  I like designing city the best, but am getting frustrated.

    I have just opened up my last region after playing for 11 years 3 weeks ago with 16million in population then they changed all the rules and the upgrades are crap!

    I’m not happy as most of my club members have stopped or left the game which makes it harder for getting the legendary chest but then again that has been tampered with too. Just get London, gold keys and some sim cash and yes mountain items.

    My regions are all fully upgraded and I have 40+ free beach, mountain and land expansions which I can’t use and I would love to pass on to my club members somehow.

    Im not paying anymore money for the premium pass as that is a farce the last 3 weeks so I expect I’ll be also leaving the game too!

  • Many annoying bugs but one that bothers me is the create a sale window is blocked by the storage navigation box in my ipad  please allow the back one to slide over

    This storage problem is an issue for many people and they aren’t doing anything about it. I have 3 cities and I have the problem on my tablet and computer. It only works correctly on iPhone. It’s annoying and the menu isn’t even necessary.  I would like the option to delete the menu.

    I am similarly just plodding along because it is virtually impossible to complete an epic by buying necessary items now.  It is difficult to make all the necessary items in one’s own city.  I can’t build up a store of items in order to do an epic and also do a lot of contest of mayors tasks and get war items!  So the game is not what it was at all.
