I will admit that once the bridges and tunnels came along, it made me want to play a little more again. But EA made me lose trust in them a long time ago. The whole SimCity debacle was just the straw that broke the camel's back. They've just become far too transparent in their motive as a company: rake in all the money they can and deal with everything else, including fallout, later. And I do admittedly say that as I still do buy their products from time to time. But I've been able to manage restraint until I can give them the least amount of money possible.

I will note that it doesn't seem to work. I've got cars set to deliver it to neighboring cities and a clear path to the highway, and no dice.

That (the mod part) is probably the only thing that keeps me playing. As far as an instant sync... I did not know that part... doesn't really help, but still...

Unless I'm doing something wrong, I don't really see anything different as far as gameplay in single-player, than playing online in a region by myself (aside from the "having-to-be-online" aspect). My cities don't seem to interact with one another like I thought they would (example: in one city where I manufacture Omega (CoT), I have a few cars going to other cities, but while playing said cities, I have yet to see any of the Omega incoming). Maybe it was my own misunderstanding, but I don't see any kind real-time growth or interaction in the region. Did I miss something, perhaps?
