    Please open Terminal (Applications > Utilities) and copy and paste the following command then hit Enter/Return:

    find ~ -type f -name "*Slot_*" 2>/dev/null

    If you're not getting any results from that search, and you've let it run for a good 10 minutes or so, try this one:

    find / -type f -name "*Slot_*" 2>/dev/null

    If you don't get any results from that it means you've managed to inadvertently wipe all your save games. This would have been user error, the game and EA App/Origin would not have done this.
