Is there a way to force the EA app open in offline mode?

I would like to confirm that the EA app will not open when there is no wifi. I’m currently without wifi and cannot get it or my sims 4 game to run.

Yesterday I switched from origin to EA before going on a trip. I would not  have done so if I knew this was going to be an issue.

EA should be explicit in the limitations of its app before forcing it on players, who a) don’t normally play games that require to be online to function b) literally PAID for a game they now cannot play despite the fact that it does not require wifi to function 

Can we please get this fixed? I get this is some exec's "solution" to piracy, but this is how you get piracy. Because THIS is how you push people towards pirating your games. When I can't play Sims 4, an offline game I've spent well over a hundred bucks on, because I don't have internet access, you're literally forcing me to go looking for bootleg solution in order to access content I've ALREADY PAID for.

This is INSANE. I'm on a plane? Can't play. My ISP goes down? Can't play. Am on a road trip? Sucks for me, I guess! Meanwhile, pirates are laughing their * off in your face, and mine.

Also fix the fact that I can't be logged in on two places at once. What kind of asinine bs is that? I have a gaming PC, a Macbook Pro, a Steam Deck, and a ROG Ally. I'm logged into my Steam, GOG, and XBOX accounts on all of them (the XBOX account includes two Series X, on top of all that), and literally NONE of them have complained ONCE that I'm already logged in someplace else. But if I so much as open my macbook while Origin's running, well, I'm lucky if I only have to input my credentials on one of them, because sometimes it'll log me out of both.

Y'all really gotta get your ship together.

PS: ROFL at forcing the massive downgrade EA app on PC while keeping the much better Origin on mac.

Can we get an update? It's been months and this app is still a huge mess of issues and errors.

I bought Mass Effect through steam. So every time I want to play I have to open your app which asks me to log in through steam which then sends me on a fetch quest of waiting for emails and codes to confirm everything. There's no way for me to set it to remember my linked accounts.

Worst part is that if you take too long to send me the email with the confirmation code, the initial log in process times out and I have to start all over again.

All of that just so I can go online and switch it to offline mode.

When I switch to offline mode it says it cannot connect to servers and it won't even let me use the offline game I have installed on my computer that I paid full price for.

I want to charge you guys for all the data you have stolen from me. You think it's free for me to connect online? Until you resolve the issue you caused with your stupid inane nonsense, I want you to compensate me for everything I have to do to work around your poorly made app. How do I get my money from you thieves?

I tried to toggle off "Usage & Sharing" so you guys can't profit off of my misery, but the option doesn't work. No matter how many times I click it, it just stays toggled on.

So what is it? Are you guys just so incompetent that you can't make an app that isn't designed to accidentally steal data or are you willfully playing ignorant so you can milk us for every penny you can squeeze out of us? Which of those two possibilities is it? Cause there's no other explanation for this series of errors that coincidentally work in favor of keeping me online and "volunteering" my data to you against my will and outrage.
