EA App offline issues
A few day ago I downloaded the EA app and I was happy to find out that it had a offline mode, BUT it has issues. I don't have WiFi where i live and I am using my phone's limited amount of hotspot dat...
Forum Discussion
Sims 4 mostly...
EApp crashes even during play, at least to an extent I can ignore the crash window and keep playing.
However, I am a customer who has been around ever since EA ate Westwood studios... You'd think they'd want to keep people like me happy....
But, no, management needs to be kept happy apparently... And I just wonder if this last update I was forced to get was the result of management issues.
Management issues that suffer from "...Lets keep people as much as possible.. Nevermind they don't want to be online...."
To EA App devs who might actually read these feedback forums: Stop giving us what we don't ask for. We Don't ask for more online features. We don't ask for an unstable platform. And we certainly don't ask to re-login every time the App suffers from "unresolvable issue" crashes!
We ask for stability, functionality to play offline without the need to login every time we want to play.
Is any of that not understandable? Is any of that too much for the management to understand? That it should be the player's own choice on if they want to go online or not whenever they want? Why do you seemingly push the online play when very few have asked for it? Remember Simcity 5 much?
I apologize for the vitriolic tone to this, but I along with so many others are probably beyond ANNOYED that you messed up the EA App with the last update. I was perfectly able to play Sims 4 to hearts content last week without having to worry about EA app. And now....
If it is at all possible to do so, find a way to undo the issues this last update has caused, and give us an option to revert back to last stable version at the very least.
Would also be nice if someone would explain why both Origin and the EA app are so similar in apparent design... No ability to truly play offline.
Totally agree with what you've said and all the frustrations shared here. I routinely play in Offline Mode after Sims patches because I play with mods and I don't want to update my game until I know all mods I use are up to date. Playing offline allows me to temporarily use a non-updated game until I can update. The "Offline" Mode in EA App is AWFUL. It is not even a proper Offline mode, since the EA App tries to reconnect to the internet after a couple of hours at which point is gives me the UNRESOLVABLE ERROR popup, and makes me restart the app. So then next time I have to play I have to log in all over again, and put it in Offline Mode manually again. It is beyond annoying, especially since the App doesn't even autofill your email address and you have to manually type it every time. I am not saying Origin was perfect by any means, but it was better than this garbage..

Beyond annoying? It's absolutely infuriating, seeing as how it's arbitrarily denying access to something we've paid for. If I didn't know better, I'd swear EA was trying to go out of business.
