Electronic Arts (EA) has temporarily pulled its newest iOS game based on the popular “The Simpsons” cartoon – The Simpsons: Tapped Out. While existing users can still play it, you won’t be able to download it from the App Store for a little while while EA addresses some back-end server issues.

“To ensure current players have the best possible experience, we’ve temporarily removed The Simpsons: Tapped Out from the App Store to limit the game’s server capacity to its current players and address connectivity and lag time issues,” reads a statement posted by the company.

The free-to-play game features the characters and situations you’ve come to expect from the long-running Fox prime-time television series. This time around, you’re trying to rebuild Springfield from scratch after Home destroys the town in an accident at his employer – the nuclear power plant. You have to rebuild the town by executing a sequence of missions involving characters from the show.

EA uses its own Origin service to manage social network connectivity for its games, and that’s where the problem lies – apparently Tapped Out has been more popular than EA expected, and they haven’t been able to keep up with demand. So their solution is to pull the game from the App Store until they work their server issues out.

It’s the second high-profile iOS problem for EA in recent weeks. The company recently announced that it pulled an iOS game based on its enormously popular Battlefield video game franchise due to technical problems – but unlike the Simpsons game, the Battlefield game won’t be coming back any time soon.
