Love the game... But it's really not ready for release!

I have had very few of the issues listed. Even though it is obvious there are some (issues), I would not throw out general terms like "most" or "always" when it comes to overall game performance (unless maybe one were working for EA, and you had all the "numbers"). And I certainly wouldn't use the threads in this forum as an accurate sample size of the entire game population. More often than not forums tend to attract a vocal minority, thus allowing one to think that all there are "is problems with this game".

Valid points.

For clarification - where I've used "always", "most", "usually" it's experiences I've seen myself and friends have.

The issues I listed are issues I've experienced personally.

Forums such as this (and other online locations) will attract those experiencing the issues. In balance, my post has also attracted those not experiencing issues who have been vocal in saying so. As with any straw-poll, it could be a representative balance of the overall problem, or may not be.

One things for certain - there appears to be a number of people experiencing issues, and a number of people that aren't. Those of us are experiencing issues and have spent real money do feel a little aggrieved.

Others have also put their thoughts through various online forums such as the official forums for the game here, and also here https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Simpsons-Tapped-Out-Un-Official-Guide-to-Tips-Tricks-and-Friends/348820838536756), and there have been a fair few people over various threads and separately.

When EA then don't respond to their support cases for people that have spent money in almost 5 times the timescale they set themselves, that starts alarm bells ringing in my head unfortunately.... In fairness and balance again, I don't know if they have or haven't responded to other cases in a timely manner - I can only go by the experience I've had personally, and they haven't in my case. I'd hope that they treat all cases fairly though, and so am only judging by extrapolating that outwards (but I could be completely wrong).

As I say, I really want them to fix this. I'm not the only person experiencing these issues. You're right though - not everyone is. I can't put figures on the number of people experiencing issues, and I doubt that EA would be able to also (unless every person that has had an issue has raised a case).

Thanks for adding to the conversation though, and with some good points.
