@Shayth Sorry for the late reply, and I'm glad to hear it worked. Saves can't be opened, that's normal; the point was to move them to the location where the game itself would read them.
It's all good. We all have lives =) But the game found my saves. I think those were old saves from the back up file from Steam so the game found them eventually. But it doesn't seem like placement was the issue. It seems that EA provided a general game update as well as releasing the new DLC on the same day. And considering a lot of people had issues with that, there's a chance that that update is likely what messed my game up. I thought it was the DLC but my game gave me issues even when I removed it.
