Thanks for the advice and insights, I too have followed several proposed solutions including completely removing and reinstalling both the game and EA App, the only way it runs is under an admin account.  Since EA 'forced' the replacement of Origin, they really need to address these issues.  Personally. I've wasted enough time on this.

ohno it is far worse then just running as admin, you will NEED to have paid subscription in order to be able to play it, without it being ACTIVE there is NO way to make it run.

this will be the last EA game i ever bought, truely appauled by the use of such practices.
