Offline plants vs zombies garden warfare 2

All data is stored server side to prevent manipulation, most likely. The world is connected to the internet... not just this game.

You need to have the content locally on your harddrive because otherwise the game would require your internet speed to be equal to the read speed of a harddrive if you had to lead all the graphics from a server somewhere. Now you can play the game on very slow internet connections. It also helps the people on metered

As for the game requiring Internet that's what you get when you buy an online game. Nothing we can do about that. It's there in the system requirements in case you are interested:

Plants vs. Zombies ™ Garden Warfare 2: Deluxe Edition can be played offline please help me

So if I buy PvZ GW2: Deluxe Edition, I can play without wifi? I'm on free trial and my wifi is not very good. I have trouble connecting and I end up wasting some of my free trial.

You need an internet connection to play.

The benefit of play offline is you don't need PS4 membership (for multiplayer). But even though you play offline, your profile stored in EA server, that's why the console need to connect server (via internet) to retrieve and update it in real time as the game progressed.

This way if you change console or play on another console, you don't lose your profile and all your progress.

...and that is all very kind of ea etc. But a large number of people out there would like to be able to choose how they manage things. It seems as though and industry that was once all about giving customers choice is now all about restricting choice. It irritates me that I have no my freedom of choice in this matter. Why shouldn't I be able to choose whether or not I go on line to play? (Don't tell me it is because EA know what is best for me - that is patronising and arrogant)
