I have a questions about EA Desktop.
Will EA Desktop be more friendlier to offline gamers than origin? My problem with Origin is that I like to play games offline a lot (due to my spotty/slow internet) however, Origin has given me problems with playing games offline. Sometime Origin won't launch; sometimes when I try to login to origin offline it loads briefly but puts me back to the login tab instead of launching origin (It just repeats itself).
Or if I do get it to launch, then when I go to play a game (i.e battlefront 2) It says you need to active your game (which I should have already done when I installed it), but it then requires a email and password online activation tab. This is why I like to play on other platforms like Steam or GOG because they are better to play games offline.
I'm hoping EA Desktop will not have these problems as Origin does for I would like to play EA single player games like Jedi Fallen Order, but I don't want to get it if I still have problems with online login required for offline mode? Please if EA Desktop is still in Beta, could you solve this issue so that EA Desktop could be more friendlier to offline gamers. Thanks.
Sincerely,

I also came here looking for EA desktop for Mac. But, I see that many of the EA games incl. EA Play is now also available on Steam. albeit Windows only versions. Please add the macOS versions of the games to Steam as well. It would be cool to be able to subscribe to EA Play through Steam, along with all my other macOS games and subscriptions that I have through Steam.
Also, EA Play is available to macOS users, right?
Any news on releasing NFS HEAT for macOS?

Thanks for trying the EA Desktop Beta!
Offline play isn't available in the Beta right now, but we're aware of the requests.
"Will EA Desktop be more friendlier to offline gamers than Origin?" is tricky to answer. Yes, Origin supports offline play, and that feature is working as intended. If it sometimes doesn't work for you, then next time you run into issues we'd have to check with you why it isn't working.
What I'll do for now is make a note if we can clarify how offline play works, should the feature be available in EA Desktop.
At this time, EA Play is only available for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
- @Straatford87 Online play will also be exclusive to the Beta anytime.
ONE YEAR AND A HALF LATER are you still working on it?
Origin client is the buggest and the worst gaming platform for macOS I ever used: it's terribly slow, it uses a non-native macOS window interface and it's really unreliable.
You're not taking your Mac users seriously. Period.
