Through all their issues, I loved this game till about 20 minutes ago.
I was finally forced to update from Origin to the new EA app. I went from being able to play offline to now being screwed over. I don't have internet most of the month; I work in the bush remotely and only have internet when I am in town. The EA app does not allow for offline gameplay; Ive just been screwed out of a serious amount of money. I also lost one of the few games (read as 3) games I could play without issue.
Why the hell would you force everyone to move over to a beta app that doesn't allow for offline play of any of the games that were offline capable on Origin? Sure, the demographic I fit into (remote, lack of internet) is getting to be smaller and smaller. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist. First its bug issues, then launching xpacs that aren't even finished with the need for constant updates or 3rd party programs to fix them (TS4S). The hell happened to your ability to give us a valid, and over all, inclusive product? Fix your ?????, EA.

I just tested and was able to run the game offline. When I boot up the EA app without Internet it looks totally blank, as if it is not working. But when I click the 3 lines in the top left corner, I can set the app in offline mode. Offline mode is very minimal but allows access to installed game. Unlike origin, which automatically went into offline mode, I have to manually select offline mode with the EA app. Just saying in case this might help you.
