    And then when you do, EA Desktop disappears. No UI graphics, no tiles...all you are left with is a grey screen with a warning that you are offline and a text list of the games in your collection. Soooo petty, EA.

    @Goldielocks403Same thing. Pretty stupidly designed that you have to log in online in order to play offline or you get error 201. Pretty difficult to do that WHEN YOU CAN'T GET ONLINE IN THE FIRST PLACE. I can't even launch the application directly from its installation folder because doing so still goes through the EA app (so I'm essentially locked out of accessing content that's already installed on my computer), nor can I launch an offline version of the app to change the necessary setting to enable local play.

    What a massive oversight. How could the designers not realize that one of the major reasons people would want to play offline is because they CANNOT go online because of lack of service? If your "solution" requires you to go online in order to enable offline play, then it's not an actual solution. What a bunch of incompetent clowns.
