Ahoy Gameplay!

[paulytools 1]

So, I've played SimCity 5 for about 30 hours, and I've came across some very troublesome things (it may be because they were too lazy to tweak this) but it seems as the interaction and exchanging of resources from one city to another is very glitchy, especially when running one city at a time. (Soloing a region)

 

Not only that, but it's kind of slow when you buy resources from another city. It takes about 5 minutes until it says you actually bought it.

 

But what is really weird is the concept of how when you don't play a city, time will stop. You can make time go faster and slower in your certain city only which makes no sense. I'm really confused about how they get a game like this to work if a city is simulating faster while another one is at normal speed.

 

Just doesn't make sense. I mean the city freezing while you aren't attending it would be necessary... but it really just doesn't make sense? So I guess it's possible for a city that was founded at the same time as another to be "older" than the other due to this...

 

Quite flawed.

 

At least I think this is how it is from my experiences with this. Any clarifications on this?
