The Simpsons™: Tapped Out

I played this game religiously for three or so years, and then one day I tried to log in and couldn’t. Somebody hacked me. I was never able to recover that Springfield. It made me angry because I spent a LOT of time playing Tapped Out. My Springfield was huge and I spent almost no real world money on it, just lots and lots of patience. I let two years pass, and I decided to try the game again. Well, I noticed that the price for land expansions has either skyrocketed or I never paid attention to how much it cost back then. It’s ridiculous. There is no way to expand in time to make room for all the buildings and characters. The reason I give it one star is because while I was enjoying playing it again, and I got to level 20, I got tired of seeing the Mothers Day quest still on my task list. So I deleted and re-downloaded the game and tried to log in and it says it can’t log in. Did the typical reinstall, I waited a while before trying to log back in, and it still says it cannot log in. Obviously nothing has gotten better as far as connectivity and log in issues go. Got my hopes up thinking this time it’ll be better, but it’s not. Sad, because I really really really liked playing this game. The other games like it aren’t near as fun. Too bad, I wish EA would get their act together. As it is, I refuse to sink more of my time into the game when I can’t be 100% certain I won’t get hacked or locked out of my own account. Peace out. Deleted.

For a fun game, it is ruined by glitches, game lock outs, and content earned through playing the game is not given to the consumer. Often real money is spent on donuts to advance the game but the content is not received. E A is unresponsive and ineffectual to give you the missing content. Instead, they try to throw 10 donuts at you, then throw 30 donuts at you thinking that this fixes the issue when the game is still malfunctioning. Anyone else enjoy playing only to encounter glitches that EA or Apple cannot resolve? This isn’t rocket science...why is such a Big, Highly-Visible game allowed not to fix simple issues like adding the content you bought for your game. The point is to get the content earned not to get more donuts to buy non-existent content. In the latest zoo game, I earned a panda and elephant but did not receive them...then why offer them if a customer earns them and Simpson’ Tapped Out doesn’t deliver nor fix the issue causing the glitch? Cute game, lousy technical support, possible fraudulent tactics in ignoring paying customers. And what’s with only getting one square of land as a “gift” to expand your land when we all used to be able to use the faux cash earned through rents to buy lots of land at a time? Playing the game is less fun in 2018 and full of glitches. My recommendation, play at your own risk....you won’t get effective support from EA.

The Simpsons Tapped Out was once my favorite game on my phone for many different reasons, mostly because I could rearrange Springfield however I wanted. But, almost a year ago now, a few bugs appeared, starting with an in-game update. The screen said that it needed a 950mb update to continue, so I clicked ok and it took about 30 minutes but the game was normal for the most part afterwards. The next day though, I came back to check on my city, and the game wanted me to update the same thing again. I was a little confused, but I still went ahead with the 30 minute update. As you might tell, I was pretty dedicated to this game at this particular moment. The next day, the same thing happened, so I contacted EA. They gave me the basic troubleshooting steps like restart your phone, see what amount of storage you have, etc. I did all that and yet- nothing. So, I took a break from the game for a while, thinking that in three months EA would’ve fixed the glitch. Today I got on again, and it had to update again, another almost gigabyte of storage wasted. I think that today was Tapped Outs final test to see if it would be fixed, but I think my Tapped Out days are over. I had a lot of fun with this game in the past, but now playing it is a waste of time.

It's was always been a bit buggy. But with the latest update the iPhone6plus gets hot to hold and quits after about 5-15mins of play or switching 1-3 neighbor towns. This along with the lack of sales on premium currency, I've started phasing the game out. It's not worth the cost. On this game it should only cost 50% the max cost and and last you a year. When they had the sales it would save a good amount and would last most of the year. And as time went on the sales got better, though this trend would continue. But the sales of premium currency stopped and now would only last you half the year. When you look at the amount spent, I could get a AAA title collectors edition with a season pass. I loved the game but the bugs with increase of cost is making me rethink, if it's worth still playing. Update: may 23, 2018 So they increased the ways and amount of premium currency you can earn in the game. But the bugs and crash of the game have gotten more frequent. And a new bug, I was trying to speed through a event using premium currency. The game crashed and on reload the event was over. And far as gameplay, their is no news/alert on game events starting. So pretty much always came in late and could never finish the first act. Probably the only good thing is I haven't spent any real money on the game in a while.
