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

Pretty safe to say this is just the way EA wants it

to be - as inconvenient as possible to push you to the edge of finding alternative means. That’s why support will come here and pretend going online to change to offline mode is a reasonable way to do it.

There’s fortunately a workaround.

Just cut all internet input entirely so this app from hell won’t understand it’s an option. That means disconnecting ethernet cable from the pc, removing wifi adapters or shutting wifi down from settings. Otherwise the app will see there’s internet signal and force you to connect to it even though there’s no actual internet coming in.

As soon as you cut the signal and try to open the game or launch the app, it will let you play if the game itself isn’t an online game.
