    my level is 47. I've been playing 5 hours ago and I can't play now, the same as you: "a problem to access your game".

    Hi EA are still having server issues please be patient they are dealing with it as quick as they can. :-)
    After a full week of not being able to access the game with my origin account logged on, patience is starting to wear thin. Up to date Android os, xperia z1, played over wifi and using data, uninstalled and re-installed after each update received all with zero success.
    The ONLY way the game loads is by playing anonymously and losing ALL my previously unlocked stuff which is NOT a feasible solution to this issue.
    EA has dropped the ball here. There's no way to get any time sensitive missions and rewards now. I'm about ready to just give up altogether.
    Thanks for making my first Christmas update with TSTO the worst update experience possible across any platform.

    So, I just spent over an hour on the phone with ea help people in the USA. Apparently I've been told that the new update requires the latest update for Android (5.0), named lollipop. Now the problem is, this update will not b available for my phone for about a month, and NEVER for my tablet.
    During the process of trying to fix my game, they had reset my game to a previous save, which would cause game progress loss for which they would compensate me with "some" donuts. This did not gain me access to my game, and it continues to freeze on the spinning donut load when using my origin account.
    After a long wait for information from a specialist, the EA guy tried to b helpful, was even quite friendly, but in the end had to regrettably tell me that until I was on lollipop, my game simply would not work. He was sorry but I'd be able to play again in January hopefully. No other offer of compensation, no explanation as to why I can play anonymously. Just, wait a month and hope.
    I have already deleted this app from my tablet as it can't update its operating system any higher than it currently is now. I am considering deleting it from my phone as well, considering I will miss the entire Christmas update and any special items that go with it. I've put money into this game, so I haven't yet. But come on EA, if a smaller company like Tinyco can keep the almost exact same game (but in Quahog instead of Springfield) going smoothly, what excuse does a titan of game industry like you have?


    Just....WOW

    Hi to all!

    I hate to bring this to you guys and gals... usually my game works all day, every day (except for the minor glitch - nobody's perfect!!!)... but I am having a problem that I hope you are already aware of and are already resolving (you all usually fix things before I can even bring them up.... GO TEAM!). Anyways, here's the deal...

    I can't log on to the game. Each time I try, as soon as the winter skin comes up and the donut in the bottom corner starts to turn, the "can't connect" screen with Bart comes up asking me to retry. Each time I click the retry button, the same thing starts all over again... 1 or 2 seconds with the initial loading screen and then right back to Bart...

    Is there anything you can do to help me out?

    Thanks in advance for the attention and for the GREAT game!

    This is highly frustrating.

    Why won't the app load properly on my Note 4? The game worked fine up until Sunday, December 18.

    I open the game on my phone, then see the "Gracie Games / Fox / EA" logos screen ... then the screen goes black.

    I'm not surprised that EA fails, yet again, to code properly. And EA expects me to waste my money on their garbage?

    Is there any way to contact EA directly?

    Everything goes well until I "Tap to Continue" and it boots me back to my home screen on the iPhone. Tried rebooting phone and everything else--no use! Please fix.

    I am also unable to log in since part 2 began. Logging out of origin allows me to play anonymously, but that's a blank Springfield and that ain't gonna happen.

    Same problems for me but only on one of my accounts. I even tried logging in on a different device with no luck just a kick to the home screen when attempting to load my town. The other account loads just fine on both devices though.
