A fake simulation

It looks pretty neat on the surface, but once you realize nothing is really simulated, you'll come to the sad conclusion that EA has ripped you off once again.

1) RCI is no longer an equation. One could simply build a city with 100% residential
2) Traffic are not simulated, they follow the same logic as sewage
3) Sims are not simulated, they follow the same logic as sewage
4) City size way too small to take advantage of the "new" curve roads building options
5) region play does not work.
6) They have taken out Cheetah speed. This in itself is blasphemy.
7) Essential Services such as Police, Hospital and Fire don't operate normally. 20 firetrucks would rush to 1 fire while 40 other fires are burning half the city down.
8) They purposely inflate the population number to make you feel like you are building something that is of a grander scale. Real population could be as low as 15% of what you see.
9) Because of the population inflation, only 15% of your sims are employed which 85% unemployment. Show me which realistic city has that?
10) Graphics tearing. Highways and roadways don't work well on inclines.
11) no overpass underpass subway systems.

This game is a pathetic.
