I don't know what's worse... connected to US West 1 but getting stuck in tutorial as there's no prompt, or connect to other servers with the tutorial not even popping up. EA is such fail.

Looks like EA's decision to go with "always-online DRM" is definitely working out REAL well for a single player game  | |

All it required was a logon authentication; but no, they wanted EVERYTHING to be stored on the server side...

still cant figure out how to make the traffic smoother. I'm getting a gridlock at the highway entrance to the city.... I've already gotten most mass transit like trains and planes to my town, but people still keep driving! its causing the garbage trucks from the other towns really backed up and couldn't collect any trash....

so guys i figured out how to kinda cheat if you didn't do any long term planning and your city is starting to get fucked up and unmanageable.
first it requires at least 50-60k citizens... pretty easy.
jack up taxes to 20% on all levels.
fast forward x3.
and get ready to bulldoze. just keep raking in the money, and bulldoze shit as it gets abandoned... you might wanna keep fire services on in case fires start. lol.
slowly as population drops, turn off services, so u can keep raking in money.
when u get bored enough doing this... (i saved up 2million), pause the game, turn off all your services parks and everything, bulldoze everything, dezone everything. but leave the roads and parks and police/ambulance schools whatever nice buildings you have.
now start planning and restart... edit your roads and preplan everything... took me like 2 hours.
we'll see how it goes. i laid down every service building possible spread out properly and all that shit. but turned them off till population requires it. LOL.
we'll see how it goes.
you're welcome.

ive been trying to build a region landmark for days... i think its been disabled.
for ppl who are having traffic problems at the front entrance.. make a huge highway at the front of it and FORK IT. that helps/helped. you will need to replan the roads in your city.
i demolished half my city and built a highway system encircling the city.. the question is .. is it there when i log in later? or is it gonna get rolledback
