    Hey,

    So this error is a DirectX error typically caused by either missing or corrupted when the game was installed or just outdated programs like DirectX

    Typically what I do is install a different EA game as they will always check for these files automatically.

    • Open Control Panel > Uninstall a program or Add or Remove Programs, and locate and select a program.
    • Depending on your Windows version, select Uninstall, Uninstall/Change, or Remove, and then restart your PC.
    • Then, install the software again from scratch, and reboot your computer once more.

    If that doesn't work I would do the following:

    Install DirectX here DirectX 
    Resinatll GPU Drivers with a fresh install checked so it removes old ones and reinstalls new ones
