Hey @pulseIm,
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.
They will in no way imaginable concern themselves with what their customers want, as they set up their library-locking feature that can/will fully take access to your games away from you...
EA has proven to be consumer antagonistic, so your entire library is locked whenever you lose your internet which means you will not have access to the games you bought.
This is ironic as they spent so much in order to force the lawful acquisition of their titles by setting up a mandatory launcher that is custom-made to lock you out of your purchased games...
It is absolutely cheating the consumer base when you specifically set up a system that will 100% remove access to the game that was purchased, so in no possible way does any manager/exec hold any concern about the customer's access to their libraries, that has been proven by EA's deeds much more than their words...
As evidenced by their inaction for going on 2 years now... so my observation is that their concern is solely on selling goods that are not 100% reliable or accessible.
This has the undeniable effect of guaranteeing that I no longer willfully purchase access to goods offered by EA as long as this company exists, because why would I purchase games that I don't have 100% access to?
No, I'd rather not acquire anything published by this company, as there are far better companies than EA, so to EA: you're not the only game in town!
I can somewhat understand if this library-locking launcher was mandated from the start so one could have the proper info for purchasing decisions beforehand, as I would not have done so,
But I did indeed purchase their games before they decided to have a mandated library-locking feature, so now I have games that I will not be able to access after my purchase!
So I will no longer make that mistake ever again by giving any more of my money for trade with this company, as they made the sober and deliberate decision to only offer goods that are not 100% accessible!
