It works, some of the time.
I have a Intel/Radeon combo instead of Nvidia, I got it to work once doing this method, I alt tabed out, did it, and it worked. But, after shutting the game down, it wouldn't work anymore. Even alt tabbed, reduced settings, set it, then increased it back to max, and still a no go.
Another big problem is, that messing with the drivers can somehow make EA think that you're accessing the game from multiple computers and can lock you out. I've now been locked out for over 12 hours with it telling me to try again later.
