Can't connect to EA servers

I bought the game on Steam while it was on a discount.

Installed today and decided to test it out. In game I am constantly getting can't connect to EA servers.

I tried every possible solution online: cmd commands, allowing through firewall, even downloading a VPN, but nothing worked.

Anyone have a possible solution?

Honestly I am thinking about refunding it since even the single player is unplayable, every time I open the game I need to play the tutorial mission and setup brightness and audio
