Well EA, you've finally done it. Sim City has become a Sim job. I retired 11 years ago. I've been playing this game at least 6 of those years. I have 3 cities. I have my own club, no outsiders, because I don't want to do wars anymore due to the cheaters out there.
I spend a couple of hours a day playing the seasons. My cities help each other advance through the tiers. I usually try to get to the low 20's (tiers) by the end of the first week. Then I decide if I'm going to buy the premium pass or not. Well that goal is now impossible to reach. The bonus assignments are too costly, even with the Golden tickets collected from the season. And the popsicles! The citizens from Chicago will just have to put up with heat. I'm not chasing after them to get "snowflakes".
All in all, I guess I'll just go back to building. If I collect a few rewards along the way, Great. If not so what. Remember I said I retired 11 years ago. I didn't start playing this game to go back to work. If the idea people at EA were working me, they'd be fired!
I can't say all of the changes are bad, but enough of them have made me pull back back and just build. No more Premium passes, no more Simcash purchases, no more rewards for EA. You've taken all of my rewards away.
If I could rate the game on Google lower than a 1, I would.
I'm really disappointed with the recent updates, forcing us to play really long hours compared to the past, besides forcing us to buy things from the first week. That new seasonal snowflake became even worse as we can't obtain one of the collection buildings without either buying MP (anticipate upfront) pr buying snowflakes from one of these packages.
I really loved that picture shares above. It express really well what this game transformed....
Again, sharing my frustration with the recent changes..
By the way, I thought they were going to learn with how terrible the pyramid seasonal coin has run... but maybe they were profit doing that ( sorry I'm not US native, so please bear with me with my English skillls).
