Maxis: SimCity offline mode 'Just not possible'

4.5
The issues with SimCity stem from its requirement that players are always online and connected to EA's servers, even if a player wants to experience the game alone. Making the game available offline could solve many players' issues, but that's "just not possible," developer Maxis General Manager Lucy Bradshaw said during a Twitter Q&A session.

"The game was designed for MP, we sim the entire region on the server so this is just not possible," She said said, in response to a question about offline modes. Previously she responded to another question about an offline patch: "We have no intention of offlining SimCity any time soon but we'll look into that as part of our earning back your trust efforts."

Xyloband "Just Not Possible" - One week later, hacked so it can be played offline and the ability to build outside the city boundries.


Yeah this game's devs are **** idiots. The only reason you need to be online, is to save your sim city map on "the cloud" unplugging your internet still lets you play for a while until you have to upload your map to keep it updated

This game isn't the same without offline

This is the weakest part of the game, lost sales will come from here.

I think the game itself is worth 60 as it looks
like a great game that you could play many hours
on even with friends
