If the game isn't multiplayer-only or a MMO game then it should have some form of offline play. Give us something to be able to play when the internet is having issues or when you retire the servers.

I've yet to see EA release a game that requires us to be online for SP and then yank the server so no one can ever play, online or offline. So forgive me if I don't throw a tantrum like half the people in this thread and grab a pitchfork. No one's willing to admit the possibility that they may patch the game to allow offline play before they take the server down. But that would be the opposite of flaming EA and isn't welcome in these parts.
