Have you actually tried playing the game? The game works FINE! I'll say it again the game works JUST FINE! The game itself doesnt have any problems it's the bloody SERVERS that are the issue here.

Did they take care of ghost sims after 500 population? Did they take care of AI that will take short road and make traffic jam and not use longer road to get on same place?

You know even humans do that. Not that i'm pointing fingers at anybody but people arent always that smart when it comes to driving. :D And the ghost sims... well i'm not quite sure how's that a problem? o_O I mean i havent heard about thease "Ghost sims".

Edit: And personally i dont care too much about the traffic jams.. i love to see them stuck on the traffic jams... and then get eaten by zombies. XD

Well after 500 house (not population) in statistic it add +1 more sims but hi is not added in game, in simulation. When you look you got him on "paper", but he don't exist in game. Here it is:

No problems, huh? I've been seeing some stuff that suggests otherwise  :P

Sure, the middle one is just a comparison between 2 games. But if you put a feature in your game and tout it as an "Ohmygawd awesomesauce" thing, they shoudl at least make a bloody attempt at making it an in-depth feature rather than a pathetic, half-arsed botch-job of it. Though I guess it fits in with the rest of the game in that way.

It's sad when the devs did a lot of other things right, but mess up and completely fail at the little things that make the game feel polished and alive.

I havent personally encountered the problems in the 1st and 3rd pictures but the question is how many actually have encountered this? If the majority of players doesnt actually have that problem dont think that EA would actually do anything to fix it. I'm not saying that those problems dont exists... I just havent encountered them personally... For me the game runs just fine.

Edit: Okay i have seen 1 problem while playing the game was that... the zombies didnt come! Q_Q Nothing happened when the zombies escaped quarantine. Q_Q
