If you're stuck on "Applying update..." don't pause
For those using EA Play Pro, for whatever reason this patch downloads insanely slow and takes an insanely long time to "applying update.." and "verify". Unfortunately you're just going to have to bite the bullet and wait for it to finish. Unless you have insanely fast internet and can reinstall it in an hour or two
But if you pause the process, clear the cache, restart the app, you'll start the whole thing over again from 0%
If you're early in the process I recommend you clear EA app cache (Help > App Recovery). That's the only thing I did. Ultimately it took me about 25 minutes to apply update and 5 minutes to verify game files. I also made sure I had 200gb of storage available (not sure if this helped)
