SimCity best game ever.

I have played this game for years, I still love it .

Top notch

Been playing for years, though after my first iPad stopped getting updates from apple, my game stopped working but then my son bought me a newer iPad many years later so I started playing again. Unfortunately I couldn’t continue my original city which had over 1 million sims because when my older iPad failed, it wasn’t back up by Facebook or the other methods they offer for backing up my game so I can’t log onto it to play it, I can only visit it since I knew the name I called it. Anyway, it’s a fun way to play.

The Best Unfortunately

Recent changes to utility costs practically ruined the game. I quit for a month or more.

Not as good anymore

SimCity built it has been a favorite game for many years but changes to the reward system leading me to consider stop playing. COM tasks have become difficult and rewards are not worth it. Hackers dominate the high levels forcing legitimate players to lower levels but problem seems to have decreased. There is so much loading at startup that the game lags. The good news is the game continues to work out the bugs loading the new content. According to the AI customer support, my devices are no longer supported causing the 1 second lag to selecting items.
New content has made the game very laggy on iPad and on iPhone which has made trying to make quick attacks almost impossible in war segment. When requesting help on lagging, which has not been a Problem in previous years, the response was all of my devices need to be upgraded to the newest versions. Not going to happen. They will just lose players. My other games receive updates and new content constantly but they seem to run fine on my devices. Seems like too much bloated content with too much poor programming. No reason to spend any money on the game if the game will only run on new devices.

Review

Great game. I agree the new update sucks! My main city freezes and screen turns black daily. When the game actually works I enjoy it.
