With the quality of gameplay i've been receiving, i hope the developers get shut down and fired. With all the recent companies laying off devs, you take 10 years to come up with a game that doesn't work half the time. Besides that, why add the internet as another variable of failure to your game when EA has never had solid netcode?
I've crashed so many times to desktop, lost so many cities in just 12 hours of gameplay, i'm already thinking of tossing this game aside. Worst experience with an EA game ever. It's a wonder you guys are still around. Shut the f*ck down already and give gamers in the world some piece of mind - or make better games.
