Much appreciated on the reply. Rather disappointed to know this though, hence this may deter myself and many others from EA products in the future.
Glad i wasn't unfortunate as to have paid for the Celebration Edition without doing the research first. I myself, am familiar enough with this type of situation as to know to look into it first, before expecting what is actually said to be advertised.
Though EA did not directly specify it was only accessible through online gameplay, i had a funny feeling it was too good to be true. Especially, for those of us that avoid online gaming, and the headaches that all to often tend to come with it.
Well, i now own (yet another) EA game that is more favorable to it's online gaming community than it is it's offline base. That's a real shame too.
Thanks again,
