F1 22 does not load due to "Connecting to Online Services"

FIrst of all, INSANE that you need to connect to the EA online services in order to load a game or even play in offline mode....

Was told by the support team that although there is nothing wrong with my connection, PSN, or EA accounts, my PS4 cannot load the F1 22 game. When loading it's forever is stuck in the "connecting to online services" screen. 

I've reset my PSN and EA passwords. Deleted and reinstalled the game. Rebuilt the PS4 database. No dice. 

Only option for playing the game is uninstalling and booting in offline mode while the game is reinstalling. You cannot save anything however and as soon as the game is done installing the update, it pushes the update, which then takes you back to square one. 

I've been told by support that this a bug and they hope it is addressed in the latest update which is TBD. So could be days could be months. How often is EA pushing updates for F1 22? What's the point of having this game if I can't play it? lol
