Game not launching for me. Anybody else have this issue or anyone found a fix?

I have never played a game in this series and it looks like a fun game, should I wait or get it now? I meet all the minimum requirements so I can run it.

Why EA Devs, do I pay for your game to only play offline, but I can't play offline because your servers are consistently down? I don't want or care about Ultimate Team or any other online features. How can this part of your business model? It makes you lose customers and money. That's why you had to go get money from across the pond.. Maybe the Saudi's will change it....

Click to open it says preparing game, then launches but doesnt launch. Just bought a couple days ago and it makes zero sense.

Will we be able to control more than one team and spectate every game? you can simulate and spectate every matchup in Franchise Mode. This makes it easy to follow the full season and keep an eye on your rivals.
