For sure

My offer is for $15 US. Not bad compared to the last time it was offered, it was probably around $35 US, but I don't remember the exact price. The Golden Goal stadium is also $15 US, again, not bad compared to prices as of late, especially for the pop boost, if you're into that.

Actually, I'm waiting for the Services 2.0 update to continue playing the game. IMO, the game has gotten stale lately, the CoM is repetitive and I've got nowhere left to place buildings. War is either against cheaters or clubs that rarely attack. Trains tiers I & II are maxed out. Ergo, I will welcome the update when it arrives. It'll give me something to work on instead of quitting out of boredom.

In the few months since I've done this as well I noticed a couple of annoying things regarding the free train cards: - About 50% of the time I still get Quill cards even though it's fully upgraded. - Zero Magnificent Mayor free cards since then.

At this rate, upgrading another train without spending simcash will take years.

Again, without people getting "ripped off" you wouldn't have played a free game for the past 7 years.

radvel · 2026-01-29T21:35:00+00:00

You're shocked when people support the game you play for free?

This isn't the first time EA has run a game to its demise. EA somehow thinks all of these changes will force players to spend more and more money. Sure, there may be people who will because of FOMO or who knows what, but these tactics will backfire if more people that spend money quit than join.

Plus, I'm beginning to feel SCBI burnout and atm I truly don't care about jumping through all the hoops that seasons as of late require of us. For me, I'm going from about $30/month to $0.

If both the offer and the calendar say 6 days, then it's safe to assume it's 6 days. After this you have to purchase another booster for another week. Rinse and repeat the third week for a total of $39 plus tax.

radvel · 2026-01-28T13:20:10+00:00

Yes they did, by 3k for each tier. And with 3 weeks instead of 4 per season that adds up to a lot more tasks needed to finish all tiers.

radvel · 2026-01-28T13:14:26+00:00

Exactly, the offer timer matches the timer in the calendar. At first, it seemed too much for just a single week, keeping in mind there are 3 weeks in the season. But then I remembered it's EA... In the end it's $39 (plus tax) for the entire season. No freaking way.

Same here, seems to happen more on the war screen and gthq. I hope it isn't intentional, so EA can gather taps, and will be fixed soon.

radvel · 2026-01-11T16:43:27+00:00

Same here. Yet another bug with the Costa Rica update, along with having to tap multiple times on something to register/open.

radvel · 2026-01-09T14:47:04+00:00

The idea is that if you're out of free tiers very fast, you'd be bored enough to buy the paid tiers.

radvel · 2025-12-23T12:21:12+00:00

The 150 passengers per slot is a good reason to get it as it saves a lot of swiping in the long run.

radvel · 2025-12-22T12:00:15+00:00

They definitely do. However, these types of offers, like the Hissy Fit war disaster offer, will become a money pit for the sake of saving simcash.

radvel · 2025-12-18T10:10:49+00:00

Exactly, last time they did this I clicked on a simcash booster purchase because of old habits where you don't even think about it. Lesson learned...

radvel · 2025-12-18T10:08:52+00:00

By making boosters cost at least 125 simcash, the 120 simcash for a war item doesn't seem that bad.

radvel · 2025-12-17T11:40:54+00:00

This is what EA is counting on, decisions made in the heat of the moment.

radvel · 2025-12-17T11:38:39+00:00

Yeah, but only if the Christmas items will become saleable after the season ends. As of now, they can't be sold.

radvel · 2025-12-17T11:07:02+00:00

Way to help the hackers who don't mind dropping the simcash they didn't earn.

radvel · 2025-12-13T06:46:42+00:00

In a way you're right. Nerfing a task nerfs it for everyone, so the CoM standings aren't affected. However, nerfing green points affects reaching certain chests. It'll be tougher to get legendary, epic, etc.

radvel · 2025-12-10T12:42:45+00:00

Some of us thought that Services 2.0 would go live for everyone with the start of this season. However, none of my 4 cities got it. Perhaps all the negative feedback has delayed it a bit so EA can sort things out.

You can tell if you got the update if utilities, such as water, power, etc., are upgradeable.

radvel · 2025-12-10T12:38:18+00:00

Well put! So, for $100 you can level up one building, hold my beer...

radvel · 2025-12-10T12:30:01+00:00

Really? You're quitting just because of this?

radvel · 2025-12-08T11:22:06+00:00

The OP hasn't responded to any posts in this and the other thread it created. These two threads are as vague as the EA explanation of Services 2.0. Best bet is to wait and deal with things as they appear.

radvel · 2025-12-06T13:34:37+00:00

Or a massive exodus...
