Community ManagerExactly. Having to login to go into offline mode isn't right. Some people can only afford or receive bad internet connection in their area and prefer offline for less disruptions. EA couldn't care less. Being kicked off of my game because i'm offline and there's an update that I *don't need right that second* is beyond frustration.
In origin, I could login offline, technically, and also play offline with no interruptions. Update needed but heard tons of bugs? I could go offline and still play bypassing the update. Need to access the gallery? Switch to online real quick then turn it back off while in-game- but no. It won't even connect online if you're already in game.
EA app is a joke. They pushed it on us before they even had it together. Typical EA.
