So players of simcity13 played the game and just starting over and over again? its like playing the old games of command and conquer and once you finish all the missions you just start again or go to mutiplayer and play that. Is that what your referring too?

If players enjoy that kind of play where its becomes repetitive then its one style to play. :) But it will get boring very fast.

The one thing that helps the game is the road system and that is not easy to master because there is so much to do on it that the dev can look at.

Have lots of things to keep you occupied is something I like to see in the game. Many many things you can tune and manage. :)

So if you get bored of building then lets do traffic management and if you get bored of that lets manage the garbage trucks or post, etc. Lets manage the mines. Let manage the police or even the airports. Cities XL was heading down this road but it just never happen.

If complaint too much micromanagement well its the way to go to keep things new and interesting. Why climb mt Everest again and again? Or compete in sport events and on different areas? Cause its always challenging! :)

Tennis players play on the same court but never get bored because the opponent are always different!

So micromanagement is there to bring constant play again and again. So it might look long and complicated at first but once you get to a certain stage on building you will wish you want it cause you just want more to do in the game! :)

Take it away and all you have is repetitiveness and just mods for visual stimulation to keep things interesting and some players like this I know but other like more challenge and more things to do.

If eg is there is 100 complex things to do in the game and have it fun at the same time it will take a long time, many years before someone complains, what else is there to do now? :)
