Players are losing hours of work when disconnects happen. The muti-player "features" advertised do not function. Entire cities have been built using nothing but residential lots. SimCity is about Simulating a City, although the graphics are nice the game uses nothing but smoke and mirrors initially to capture players into thinking there's "a lot going on" behind the scenes, when this is absolutely not the case. I have also put in over 100 hours playing this version, this version is beyond a buggy let down, to fans of the original game it can be seen as an insult.

I have played almost every simcity released. Please, do not give your money to EA keep it for another more serious developper. There is no beach stuff, no marina-harbor or ship industry, no tree, very limited choice of building. This result in most space lost (so precious space) is you want curve roads in your city. and you cannot turn objects to fit in a particular orientation. Nothing can be build freely in the map because everything have to connect to a road. you have to think two times before adding a single football field because it take too space on the map!! Other disaster is the very strict link between road and building, park, etc. First, the size of the map is ridiculous. But, the game himself is a big deception in many ways. I don't care about the DRM that is something that don't bothered me. you have to think two times before adding a single football field because it take too space on the map!! I played all SimCity versions from the first one and SimCity 5 is nothing else than a piece of garbage.
