EA App Required Now?

I uninstalled the EA App and upon downloading and installing it again, as I stated above, it ate Origin. Then when I attempted to play my game, which in the recent past I was able to do, it's now telling me, consistently, that I don't have an Internet connection and my game failed to load. Well, I don't have time for such garbage. Too many other things to do in the same limited time space. So, in my exasperation, I immediately uninstalled the 'new' EA App, and then downloaded Origin. It worked just fine, too. Same as always. That's how I played my game yesterday afternoon. I don't plan on installing the EA App again, until they fix the amalgamated mess that is the EA App. Sorry, EA, fix it or lose it. I just don't have the time to play around, here.
