    So I was downloading an update to the Sims 4 today - using the EA app of course.

    Decided to launch Plants vs. Zombies - been a while but whilst waiting ....

    Trying to launch the game it wouldn't and I was told to enter a product code.

    Odd but OK I had the product code so entered it.

    App then said I was off line and the app was not connected to the internet.

    Tried reboot, restart computer, the EA app repair function; cleared the cache etc, - no joy. EA App declared I was still off line.

    Then the app completed downloading the Sims update and I launched the game ....... despite the app being offline.

    Motto: The Sims community is larger that the Plants vs. Zombies community and when the app breaks they EA a lot more stick.

    Clearly the app was not offline, something has been broken in the app when it comes to launching Plants vs. Zombies.

    Sigh
