No, the EA app unfortunately doesn't support offline play yet. However, the teams are aware of the feedback regarding this requested feature for the EA app.
Origin does support offline play, however. So if you/your girlfriend owns the game as a standalone copy or via EA Play (Pro), as long as it is not EA Play via Xbox Game Pass, it should be possible to use Origin and make use of offline play.
First off, this site is garbage as I can’t find anyway to report a problem with this app that none of these threads cover, that is, you can’t even continue to play the game offline after you played it once in offline mode.
discovered this today.
Last night I was able to play without internet, as I was signed in while online, then I go to play this morning, after leaving my computer on all night, and I get an error code with it telling me that I need to go online to sign in.
The game told me that I would be able to keep playing in offline mode when I exited.
Are people forced to keep their games running indefinitely while they do not have internet?? Because that would be garbage.
Please fix this!!
For those reading this, Beware! This thread is now over 3 years old, I could not find anyway place to report this, the chat feature seems disabled (at least on mobile), and the only forum I could find to report or ask anything on was on the functionality of the forum??
If you purchase from EA, you should expect to never play your games without an internet connection in any realistic manner. Offline mode is a lie. Too bad for those os us who purchased our games during a time when offline mode was an actual thing that did not require an internet connection to sign in.
They should be required to refund those of us who purchased our games under the understanding that we could play our games indefinitely without an internet connection as they removed a key function AFTER we purchased our games, which included that key function. Agreeing to continue playing them should not disregard that, why is there not a class action suit, I played good money for the game and it’s expansions before this change was made and they changed my access to the game after, which should be illegal.
