The game is always online as in you can't log into the game and play solo if the servers are down. Even though there's single player content and it allows you to play with bots you still need to be connected online in order to play it. You won't get past the title screen without a internet connection.
Unless I'm mistaken, the OP said that they have an xbox live account.
EA Staff (Retired)There's a lot of confusion happening here.
I think @kshaeta is referring to someone they spoke to within EA rather than someone who has messaged them on XBOX Live chat.
Which Gamertag are you trying to connect to the game with?
The game is online for the most part, you will need an internet connection and an XBOX Live Gold subscription for the most part. If the account is underage then it's correct that they won't be able to play on that account. That's a legal requirement under COPPA.

@EA_Andy Sorry to drag you back in, but I'm still not clear on this age thing. Are you saying that the child cannot play on their -parent's- account, or that they cannot play at all? I was under the assumption that the OP had made a "child account," or whatever xbox calls it, for their child.
It would appear that the OP has done a runner, but I feel that I would very much like to fully understand the rules here. I assume COPPA stands for "child online protection" something or other.
