CA did a really good job, a great job, but forgot about the DEADLINE, and then rushed the parts of the game not done at that time. (Okay, maybe the amount they wanted to do couldn't be done by the deadline.)

Hopefully, the expansion will allow them to finish off the little things, fix some bugs, and expand the AI. For all my bitching, I can understand these guys wanting to hold tight until September and then hope the "storm" passes once the XP is out. I think it's a flawed business strategy in this case, but I can see the thinking behind it.

I think one of the problems with CA is they think only MAJOR problems count. Add up enough minor issues, dose liberallly with poor service, and you will make your customers upset.

Fingers crossed on the XP. Then I can go back and edit my review.
