There are no offline features for Garden Warefare, an internet connection is always required.

I have to say this is the worst type of money grabbing system to require the Gold online gaming feature. My 12 year old son bought this in Argos (a store where you cannot see the product until after purchase) and we get it home to find out that we need Gold Membership. First I should not have to continue paying for something he has bought (very bad practice) and second our internet connection has never been great. This is compounded by the fact that Argos will not take the product back as it has been opened. If you have an online only product then why not sell it only once you are inside the Gold Members area rather than through the shops unless you want to trick people into your memberships. Also although we have seen the printing of 'Online Only' (after the fact) it is still quite small and the text should be at least as large as the name of the game. I will be contacting the Office of Fair Trading concerning this practice as it seems dishonest at best and manipulative and deceitful at worst.

I have Internet but no PSN, can I play the offline mode on a PS4 without PSN? If no this is a VERY BAD policy.

I also have this problem, I have internet but do not want to pay for membership of PSN+ I should be able to play the basic game without paying more $$$ every month/year. I chatted with EA advisor but they were no help.
- So since PSN charges for internet you are basically forcing people to continuesly pay to play your game? That is genuinely shameful.

Money grabbing is too light a statement! We should put this up on ripoff.com.
incredible...
- Why should an internet connection be required. Why do you want to financially hurt those who use your product! Why not go ahead respond to the fact that there are people complaining EA_Stephen?
That's very well said, it's one big rip off!

Just bought the game today for my 5 year old daughter. I am having the same problem that these people had over 3 years ago. So I do have an internet connection. But not an XBox Gold account. Why can't I play the solo mode with just internet connection only?
It looks like ya'll recognized and fixed the problem/issue when you came out with Plants Vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2

Can I play on my own?
For the first time, we’re introducing a unique solo play experience where you can play every single game mode either by yourself against AI, or with the help of a friend in local split screen. We’ll have more details on what else you can expect from solo play very soon!
Will I need Xbox Live Gold or PS+ to play the game?
You will not need Xbox Live Gold or PS+ to play the game. All local play features (solo play and local split screen), can be experienced with an internet connection only. If you want to jump online to play with friends you will require Xbox Live Gold or PS+.
So if you can acknowledge the foul-up for that and fix if for the future games. I think since the product is still on the market EA needs to make it right for the rest of community that puts money in EA pockets by patching or whatever you need to do to give the original Plants Vs. Zombies Garden Warfare game the ability to play single player just as the Part 2 can.

@Satxkiller Unfortunately the original Garden Warfare has no offline modes, the game was designed as an always-online title and as such if playing on an Xbox you will need Xbox Live.
