3) Limitations to players in fake single player mode.

Unfortunately, the new SimCity game (2013) is being built to be 100% online with a focus on multiplayer mode.



The single player mode announced by Maxis is not a real single or solo player mode, and it will be only online. This will have limitations that don’t exist in the multiplayer mode.



Even if you playing alone in the new SimCity (2013), your game will be influenced by other players indirectly through a worldwide network of players in the EA Servers with leaderboards and other external influences.



You may even be penalized if you want to play alone in the new game or don’t have access to certain features of the game to force you to move to the multiplayer mode.
