Well, that bites. I just checked for the patch, and the game isn't inviting (re: demanding) I patch the game. I went online to look up at what time today would the patch drop? I got a very interesting and strange answer. I have lived in this state for 18 years. We're in Mountain Time and that is one hour ahead of CA.
So then, why I must wait an extra hour is beyond me. Oh, well.
Patches aren’t region locked. EA app is just buggy sometimes and doesn’t tell when there is a patch. Had it happen to me a few times and just now too. Click on the 3 bars at the top left corner, click help and restart app. Should say update required
