I can't even count the number of times I have played the game in the morning at my apartment (wifi) to the later that morning or afternoon get a message that I must update to play. This is frustrating during events. Played on the way to work and when I attempted to play at my break this afternoon and I had to update in order to play. Since no wifi at work and travel time back home means 4 hours at least before I can download the update, loosing out on event stuff.EA PLEASE notify players that an update is available, and allow us to play until we are able to download it on wifi. Thanx very much.

Oh no? 4 hours? You might as well not even try the event now that you're so far behind.

Not sure what device your using, I know with iPad, I can turn updates off automatically updating in the settings, under iTunes & App Store.

You can set your device to auto update in settings somewhere. Or just hang around the forums long enough and you'll get a feel for when updates are expected. Basically one ends and a new one shows up in a day or two. This is the easy time of year too. Halloweens allways the first week of Oct, then thanksgiving mini mid November then Holidays first week of December.

Still saying that the option to update later needs to be added. Not the "update to play" we have now. It is nothing that can't wait for those in the middle of playing the event.

How can one not know when the THOH event is going to drop?! Clearly you aren't obsessed like us! :D Here's some tips: Events are non-stop. Once one ends, the next one starts so make sure to be on the lookout after each event ends. Events usually run like this: Major event, mini event, major event, mini event. The next mini-event will be the Thanksgiving and Black Friday update, followed immediately by the Chrustmas update Major updates always start on a Tuesday, so check your App Store then!

Hey EA---your timing is impeccable

I have an iPad mini 3 wifi only, and a 6+ iPhone. Had it set for auto on wifi only, have now switched updates off to see if that will stop the forced update messages.
Thanx

Hope being sarcastic, it has happened numerous time during all previous events over the last 3 years.

I doubht EA would ever implement an update later option because it would mean that if there's ever a glitch that we could benefit from (unlimited donuts, event currency, items for free are all past examples) they wouldn't be able to prevent us from continuing on with the glitches because we could just ignore updates for a few days.
