[quote name='midnightexpress']Just don't download any updates then. This was caused by a stupid EA update somewhere down the line, so as long as you do NOT download any updates for the game, you should be fine. It's not like you need the online anyway, seeing as the game's not exactly high on multiplayer action.[/QUOTE]
Glad I read about this on here, this price is too good to pass up, so just not go online to be safe with it.
