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.
