@cmramones No, you do not need Origin Access to play the game, you just need to own the game. 😉 You will need to run it through Origin and you will need internet access for some things (activating DLC, importing world states, etc), but you do not need the subscription service. 🙂
Community Admin@cmramones Hey, thanks for the question and I can confirm that the answers posted are correct.
Can I check if you know where this misunderstanding stemmed from? I have seen some other posts recently that imply that Origin Access is mandatory, which absolutely isn't the case.
In case there's a source of misinformation on this we'd like to set everyone straight if possible.
In any case, thank you for the question, if you need any more info please let us know.
Hi
i have already perched this game twice through EA, i switched service providers and no longer have access to my original email account. i did contact ea and was informed that i can not use the product code but once... i do have the game and disc, so is there a bat file or something i can run? i just play on the pc not online.
@flug666 Even if you play the game single player, the game still runs through Origin and is activated online, so is attached to your Origin account. You'll need to get in touch with customer support about changing the email address attached to your Origin/EA account. Often issues involving account security require you to call them (or if you're in certain countries you can request a call back, or at least that used to be the case).
