Cannot connect to EA servers - Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare in PS4

OK, I got it figured out after I called Origin.  I was not familiar with Origin and did not understand how it worked.  The key here is that you have to download and install the Origin app on your PC or Mac.  Once you have it installed, you connect your PS4 account to Origin.  Then, quit the PvZ application on PS4 and restart it.  You should be connected and able to play the game. The key is to download Origin app on the PC or Mac.  If you don't do this, you won't be able to connect. So much research needed the noobs like myself just to play the game!  Wow.  Of course now that I understand that you need to have Origin installed, I see that this question was already answered above already by @WasterWobs  However not knowing anything about Origin, I did not understand what the answer actually meant.
