Hi, Only for SC5 players, please share your experiences with the beta or final versions. Don't forget to list the pros and cons that you found !

I'm curious about this new game, I'm waiting the demo version. It seems to more limited and under EA control. I think I won't be able to cheat and customize. I always love to play my own rules. With The Sims 3, I loose the control of my citizens, it's so frustating, even if I can still cheat and rule the world, it will never be like The Sims 2. EA tried to add social features like Simport but it's totally useless because I don't want the stories of other players in my game. I think Simcity will take the same way. Because the other players won't follow my rules, I don't want to play with them. In fact, I want to control everything in my city and in the other cities.

You're right ,why I'll pay 59.99€ if I can't play when I want. SimCity is useless, I'll have plenty other things to do.

Then prepare you to read this sentence "Sorry you can't play today, the server is under maintenance...."

Hi, SimCity is an online game, then we can easily say there won't be custom contents and EA will release some content like DLC with Mass Effect and Store content with the Sims. Now I would like to know if you are ready to purchase contents in order to customize your city.

Online means : No custom content No cheat No mod No content community No choice, new content will be only Store content Then, no freedom

I think after the success of SimCity, SimCity Deluxe and SimCity Deluxe HD from the Apple's AppStore, EA decided to give a second chance to the SimCity series on PC/Mac.

It's linked directly from SimCity's Facebook page. I think it's probably official. An unofficial person can link to SimCity's Facebook, too. I should also add, the account's existed since October, and the video went up on December 9th. I'm skeptical this is real, but stranger things have happened. -Tarkus Official SimCity link ( http://simcity.ea.com/ ) redirect to SimCity Facebook page ( http://www.facebook.com/SimCity ) with the video from EA SimCity YouTube channel ( http://www.youtube.com/EASimCity )

EA Maxis isn't Will Wright's Maxis, so we can't say how this SimCity will be. Just I'll wait and see.

If EA will create a SimCity Exchange like TS3 Exchange, there is a lot of corrupted content included in the pack, it's really boring. If EA will create a SimCity Store like TS3 Store, I'll buy some items but I think STEX stuff will be better and there will be more content.

Tarkus, it seems the first source is the german magazine : GameStar http://www.gamestar.de/community/gspinboard/showthread.php?t=411270 Google Translate

Why EA doesn't buy it and sell it as SimCity 5 ... (Stupid thought )
