Xbox live gold needed or not
I'm extremely confused about the requirements to play plants vs zombies garden warfare or warfare2 on Xbox one. I understand it needs internet but does it also require a paid subscription Xbox live? I...

I agree with other customers that the EA policy about the Xbox Gold subscription is very confusing because both titles are sold. I have a GW2 that works just with the subscription. I tried to buy one copy without subscription but here in Italy when you ask about the matter the answer in the shops is always ambiguous. They just answer that you need a 'internet connection' but when you ask if you need a subscription of Xbox Golt, they just say again that you need an 'internet connection' but really they don't know if you need such subscription or not. As result, you leave the game in the shop (and this just damages EA). I think that it will be better to write explicitly that the game needs an internet connection but not an Xbox Gold subscription. From the box this is not clear and there is only the way to test if it works buying the game (and the shop gets back the game at 1/10 the price you payd !).

EA Staff (Retired)Hello @salvadi1
I am really sorry for any confusion, you might have with different game modes. You can always ask as directly anything, concerning any EA game. And I am sure, should you decide to buy one of ours game at one of our certified retailers, the should be able to assist you with any such questions.

Thank you Archi,
I have GW1 and live gold has just expired and I don't want to pay again for it but I want to play with GW so I was looking for a solution that seems to be GW2. Has said above also asking to the certified retailers where I live (Gamestop) it was impossible to have warranties that it will work without live gold (they just repeat that I need an internet connection... 'do I need live gold ?' ... 'you need an internet connection' .... :-(
I will buy GW2 at my risk just following the indications in this pages, but believe me, put in the cover of the game a clear indication on the matter about the internet and the live gold.
Cheers,

- I'm still confused. I purchased GW and kept getting an error message regarding a live gold subscription. How can I navigate to solo or dual player or AI function without having a live gold subscription?

I'm pretty certain that one can play solo without a paid subscription, but I don't know how it works.
I was also under the impression you can play solo ops in GW1 without a subscription as well.
Yeah, I'm not sure what you're doing wrong. One of my friends was playing offline just last night because his PS plus membership had expired that day.
