Well after a few days or weeks or whatever, since ive been addicted, the game is pretty good! Im not gunna lie, if it was awful, id prolly still play since city builders are hard to come by. The servers now are 99% working and I can log in everytime. I got my game 3 days after launch so I cant speak those days but when I got it there was extensive wait times and it took me about 3 hours of trying in various ways, before I could play. Now the servers are fine and I can play at will. EA is garbage for thinking they could get away w 5 servers on launch day for sure considering they have like 15 now lol.
The game reminds me in some ways of simcity 4. There are stupid little things that you just cant seem to fix. I had this amazing half circle city that I was really into. I only had about 30,000 people. ( I built a previous city with 150,000 people ) In this 150k city traffic sucked obvi but I was able to make it work until I had to put in streetcars. These are new and im too new to tell you if they work great or not, first impression is they do not. ANYWAYS the 30k city some how had a lot of really stupid people in it, I think. LOL They seemed to want to always drive to the end of an avenue and turn around and go back for no reason. There are plenty of streets for them to take. This literally gridlocked my city since everyone was making lefts and no rights lol. Some how after about an hour of me going..wtf.. it freed up. Im not sure if it was something I did or what but that was pretty annoying for sure considering no services could get to fires or crimes and my city was burning down and being taken over by crime and homeless people lol
That being said, id still buy it. It is really fun to play and definitely a game where u can get baked and get lost for hours! Good luck guys!
