Love the game... But it's really not ready for release!
Funny thing is, I rarely have any issues with the game. Any online type game will have server load issues from time to time.
Forum Discussion
Most of the issues that you've mentioned have been discussed a lot here. :) Some of which have existed for a long time. Most of the time, it comes with any updates that is being released for this game.
With regards to stability, this game was originally taken off the app store because nobody could even go into their game for days on end. They brought the game back because it was so damn popular and it was a money making machine.
Personally, after the thanksgiving update, I was one of the many people who couldn't access their Springfield. My Springfield was inaccessible for a good 2.5 weeks. During this period, there was a fat tony update and I missed it. Nothing I can do about it because though it wasn't my fault, I won't expect EA to just give me fat tony. When I emailed them about the problem, besides the automated response, they got my name wrong. And they didn't just get my name wrong, they decided to give me a boy's name as well. That just drove me up the wall and over it. But still, nothing I could do about it. Until they have a mob going after them, they will sit tight and do what they are doing with no updates.
So around here, it comes as no surprise that they aren't known for their quick response. If you stick around, you'll also realize that there is a lack of moderators here. Therefore, the multiple threads with the same topic.
And the origin login thing. I think you may find this article interesting. I came across it a few days ago. :)

Sorry for the slight rant, I know it's getting old but thought I would share my experience. :)
