Really needs a cloud save disabling feature.

Like many I'm not overly thrilled with the EA app, but I will actually give it some credit in one area: While I'd prefer it not be required at all, when it does launch with a game it's usually quick to pop up, and immediately minimizes to the notification area. There's no custom arguments or special paths you need to input to have it launch from other launchers like with some Epic/Uplay games, you can just add the .exe, it loads EA play, then it gets out of the way and loads your game (ideally an option to close the EA launcher after the game is closed would exist too, but I get the business case to slap that store in your face when it ends).

Except...the "Preparing Game" stage. For some games with a lot of saves, such as Mass Effect Legendary, you can be sitting at this dialog for 15-20 seconds before it even starts to load. This is due to the EA app checking the cloud saves, which is one of the slowest methods I've seen from any launcher. The kicker is I already have 'cloud' saves for ME since the saves are stored in Documents, which are backed up to my Onedrive already. When the app is in offline mode the difference in launching speed is massive

Please give us per-game control to sync cloud saves so we can avoid this step.
