Nope, EA has forced us to have a specific driver set and above to play the game. None of those drivers work. If you install an older driver you get an error telling you, you need an updated driver.
Ok my equipment is geforce 860M
and I have read the forum:

Hi, I am running a GTX 860m on my Lenovo Y50-70 laptop. Ever since driver 358.50 or something, my computer has crashed when running games on the graphics card.
I fixed this issue temporarily by reverting drivers, now, this was a fix until new games came out. Games that force you to update drivers or else it will not work.
I decided to contact the support chat whilst browing this section. I found several solutions and tweaks.
This is how I fixed it.
Download Driver Uninstaller (This was recommended by the supporting agent at Nvidia).
Run it (It will ask you to go into safe mode, this is recommended, so you do that by pressing and HOLDING the shift button while pressing the restart button. Hold until you can choose what kind, just pick the safe mode choice).
Select remove and restart. This will automatically remove the program and restart your PC.
When installation is complete, go into Nvidia Control Panel (by right clicking desktop. CP takes time to open for me, so do not fear).
Go into Manage 3D Settings.
Select the Global Settings tab and scroll down until you find "Power Management mode".
Prefer maximum Performance! Assisting image.
I am suspecting the latest Nvidia drivers has made it so it is unable to determine by itself, meaning it gives up and crashes the computer :o
I can not guarantee this will work, but it is worth a shot. Also might help the Nvidia peeps, so they actually know why we're getting it. IF this works for you guys.

and it worked for me .. I can play . cheers :D
