I hope this helps, and provides some clarification.

Thanks 🙂

This is a console problem, evidently for years based on numerous other topics here. I don't want my son playing on the PC, that's why I bought the console edition. Even though he does not want to play online or access any online features, the game will not load without an account. EA accounts are prohibited for minors under 13. The supposed workaround is to use an Origins account, but PvZ refuses to let me login because he's under 13. I don't even get a chance to try his origins login. I tried suspending all parental controls and still no luck.

This is very inconsistent with most games today. No account simply means there are features you do not get, but you can still access the core of the game. I don't understand what's so hard about this that EA can't adopt the same reasoning in their games.

@hystericallyme

I understand where you're coming from.

This has always been the case though, in order to access any EA games. 

You are able to set up his own account, and he will be able to play the game Offline, until you give him permissions to play Online/Multiplayer.
