Then we say that the worst is over and that we will finally be able to play, you start the game and there can not connect! I know we're warned that the game requires a permanent connection (although I personally find it a totally useless given the main single player mode, again we were warned ..) but when the day of output of the game impossible to connect, and thus to play because the servers are saturated, there is enough! The game of the year for EA and they have not provided the right number of servers? !!!
So the game may prove to be up to my expectations in the future but will he be able to play. I did not pre ordered a game to play in a month!
I clearly endorse this lack of professionalism on the part of EA and their ability to give us the impression of being good big birds!
Finally the only good point in all this is that Amazon is still on top!
Update as at 12/03: I finally could play, but the servers are very unstable ... First we must not deceive himself server at login and especially that it is available because backups seem ( at least for the moment) recorded only on LE server on which you started your game.
As for the game itself, a lot of difficulties and very small maps, but that can make the game interesting because it is created over a single gigantic city but a complete region with exchanges between different cities according to their specialization. For example you can choose a city that will export mining and resources towards others who do not want their ground and air pollution.
Finally we note many bugs in the management of infrastructures that make some "problem" that eventually become recurring boring as the constant demand of citizens to have more fire truck because the town is burning, and when we click on a barracks, it tells us that everything is fine and that no truck is output even if a house is on fire right in front of the barracks ....
In short an unfinished game, and I feel that EA will SALE DLC us to solve these problems! So for now my negative rating remains frozen. The potential of a game is not enough, when a new game comes out it should be complete and viable.
