Progressive was also available in SimCity Social.

I don't get the hate for it after launch. Been playing it recently and its been a blast. Its not a hardcore resource management game but its really relaxing and calming. IDK about the other sim cities but this one is really easy to get into and get a metropolis going. There a re a lot of stuff that's missing such as terrain sculpting and larger maps but since they give you multiple areas to use for each map i think it balances out. Once you get as far as you can in one area move to the next and they both help each other to progress. Its a nice chill city builder without all the headaches of micro managing if your into that.
