Brand new phone so connection/device issues are not in play. This game used to be fun. It used to be an enjoyable way to play without having to spend hundreds of dollars. I would spend money from time to time, but it wasn't necessary. As of late it has become more and more of a requirement to move forward in the game. It has also become most recently apparent that the game is only in it for their own selfish gain and has no respect for their customers. I would keep looking and pass this game up
