What makes the Internet-required single player a deal breaker for me isn't even the launch problems (those will go away), but the fact that the game will ultimately be terminated once EA no longer finds it worthwhile to run the servers.
Someone will probably eventually reverse-engineer the system to create a local fake server, but that's no substitute for a game to not be broken by design.
