American Game, use $ not the M!

Horrible update

Looks almost like intentional sabotage....

Below is my review of the previous version. The property names were fixed since then, but thats it. Its still bad for two reasons--the two reasons below that have not been fixed: 1) The annoying M currency sign. This makes monetary values look pretty busy and difficult to read, when compared to the original dollar signs. 2) This is the much more serious issue. The blurriness issue has not been fixed. On my iPhone 6s, the display is still extremely blurry, which is inexcusable in that it still makes the game very hard on the eyes and is very subpar for any app on an iPhone 6, where there is no good excuse for anything less than a crystal-clear screen given the retina technology and the visual quality of other available apps. This was the most serious of my original complaints from the last version, as it is the one that continues to make the game virtually non-playable. And prior to the last version, the display had perfect clarity! So in my opinion, this is still a very broken game. It seems like the developers wanted to get rid of the one-star reviews, so took the minimal effort to fix one of the problems, thus justifying a new version where the bad reviews wouldnt be readily apparent. No dice. I still would not play this until the blurriness would fix, and would not recommend buying it as the blurriness puts the visual quality of this game far below anything that is even justifiable on a modern smartphone. To the developers: until you fix the blurriness issue, thus app will continue to get bad reviews, as evidenced by the other reviews that Im seeing for the current version. There also should have been an apology, owed to all of us who spent money on this app, for so thoroughly botching the last version (with the worst problem remaining) as to make the game more or less non-playable. There really is no excuse or justification for this. Please fix it! ------------------------------- How could EA have done something so incredibly stupid??! This used to be a fun game that was very true to the original. Now for some reason EA decided to take artistic license by changing all of the street names! Thats right, Boardwalk, Park Place etc. are gone in favor of non-recognizable British streets. Theres not even an option to go back to the normal names--the ones they have been there since the game was created in 1903!! Why EA feels the need to push new English names on us without any other option is beyond me, but it is obviously an incredibly dumb decision, and one that will alienate many players. This is akin to EA spitting upon the heritage of the game. As far as Im concerned this means its no longer really Monopoly, more like a Monopoly copycat game. Whats worse is that the game now looks like absolute garbage--the game board now looks completely blurry/out of focus. In other words, not only are the street names non-recognizable, but it is impossible to familiarize yourself with all of the new names as they are completely non-readable due to the blurriness of the game. It is enough to give one headaches and make the game non-playable. And it was all crystal clear with the usual street names prior to the update!! Why, oh why EA???!!! This was enough to prevent me from even getting far enough into the game to test what other players have said about the new version, that the AI when playing against the computer--which was never a strong point of the app to begin with--has gotten worse. The crowning mockery is EAs outright lie of describing the update as behind the scenes. EA, get a dictionary. Behind the scenes means non-visible, which obviously is not the cases with EA changing all of the street names, downgrading the AI, and making everything blurry. IMO, this means EA zips 100% out of integrity by referring to the changes as being behind the scenes. Im deleting this app until a new version comes out which un-breaks the game (or until EA wakes up from whatever drug-induced haze they were in an reverts the game back to its prior, far superior version). I strongly, strongly say DO NOT BUY THIS GAME IN ITS CURRENT FORM, as it is complete crap.

Dollar signs are not showing correct

I did the latest update and now the dollar symbol is wrong. I hope the developer fixes this soon. I love the game.

worst app ever created

i could open up programming software and smash my head on my keyboard for 3 minutes and i would be left with a better app with this. rigged a laughable amount in the cpus favor with a terrible multiplayer mode. also glitchy beyond belief! dont waste your time by downloading this utter garbage.

Ruined the game with Mar 2016 update

Latest update with the British street names and board action have ruined what was a perfect game. At first I thought the update was a glitch so I deleted it, but when I repurchased and opened found it was not. Very disappointed. Bring back the American version!

Good update, still more to do

Thank you for listening and putting back the US version of the property names. If we can get the dollar sign back too that would be great, but its a minor thing. Ill change to 5 stars if the AI is no longer linked to the roll of the dice, but rather strategy and trading. Dice rolls should be random, it seems unfair when the AI always gets "lucky."

Doesnt work!!!!

Be nice if your multiplayer options actually worked!! Just downloaded the game, tried to play via blue tooth with my gf but no it DOESNT WORK AT ALL!!! Waste of money good thing stupid game was only a dollar. So basically no way to play with any real ppl in this game thanks for wasting our time if I wanted to play against only computers I wouldnt be on here. Fix your game please smfh!!!

Buying houses/hotels

I love this game but lately the option to buy houses/hotels stop working during the game, I noticed it really become an issue with this last update please fix!

Better but..

The dice roll should be fix a little, because i shake and it not work unless i do it harder a lot of time. The graphics is a little terrible when it zoom out of course.

Why does this never change?

EA back at it again with another buggy, unfair game.

BS!!! This game invades your privacy!!!

Use to be able to play no problem but now when I try to open the app, EA forces you to agree to let them invade your phones files and use and distribute your personal information how ever they want to! You can not "not" agree! I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!! You broke my app and HELL NO YOU CAN NOT INVADE MY PRIVACY OR SEND MY PERSONAL INFORMATION TO WHO EVER YOU WANT!!! I will never trust your company again or purchase another EA product for myself or my kids. This is America!!! We value our privacy and fight to defend it!!!

Multiplayer

The game would be a higher rating if any of the multiplayer modes worked. Also the visual quality is way lower than the previous version. Please fix to allow multiplayer to work again.

Graphics are still blurry

The latest fix to Monopoly reinstated the familiar property names but the graphics are still blurry and the dice still have jagged edges, both of which were problems with the British version from the previous update. I would also like to see the dollar signs back instead of the generic Monopoly "M" with the slash through it. Cmon guys, the game should be better than this.

Still do not buy

I have played this game over 300 times and loved it. They finally fixed the property names but there is no dollar sign and the graphics are still not what they were. Waited weeks to get the names changed and it still isnt as good as it was. I just dont get it

Lets make this the Best Game

I enjoy this game so much. I really wish you could play against more AIs or set them to a more difficult level. I tried playing online and no games. I figured its because people dont have the game. Id enjoy the game more if I actually have a challenge on my hands. The game should have a permanent fast forward, more house rules, more opponents (or difficulty settings), and more game board types! Like instead of the classic monopoly, we can use the Disney monopoly board, the Mario monopoly board, the Game of thrones board, etc.

Very disappointing

Glad EA corrected the street names to match the real game. The European monetary symbol is still very annoying. The resolution is terrible. Given that the new terms and conditions also allows EA to gather usage info on players of the game you would expect a better gaming experience. I would rather pay a small fee, have no stats gathered on me and a better usage experience. I deleted the game when they changed the street names, Im contemplating wether to delete it again.

Close but no cigar

The latest update brought back the original properties which is great, but can you please bring back $$$!

So glad the original names are back!!

Let me start off my saying I gave this a 1 star after the names were changed and now yall changed them back!! Thank you SOOO MUCH! I have changed my ONE star to a now FIVE!

Abomination

Hasbro missed the mark on this update. This is no longer the classic game that I grew up with. The ridiculous names of the properties on the board, the new cat token, and the swap our of the $ to a fictitious currency sign is enough to turn me off; but its the instability of the game and the stupidity of the AI players that take the cake. Hasbro claims that they did extensive market research to come up with these changes, however it appears that they didnt ask the users. This version is is very reminiscent of the failed here and now version that found its way in to obscurity along with Ataris ET. Hasbro, do everyone who bought the original version a favor and bring it back!

Good old monopoly

Overall a good game. The resolution on the board could be improved and you cant play online. However its still good old monopoly even playing against AI.
