The developers are adamant that they'll be putting backstops in place to prevent those kind of day one issues, but said that if it becomes a problem they could briefly allow people to play offline while things get fixed.
So they are putting in an online requirement, but they admit that it's entirely possible to play the game offline. At least Blizzard claimed (rightly or wrongly) that they couldn't remove the online component because it was integrated into the game. EA is flat-out stating that they could allow the ability to play offline. If they weren't dicks. Yep. PC players demonstrated to EA that they will happily put up with always-on bullshit, so EA is going that route. They won't be the last to follow either.
PC Gamers: Reap/sow/etc.
