SimCity offline update launching today, some server downtime
EA unveiled Update 10 and the new single-player mode back in January, after a 2013 in which the publisher came under severe criticism for implementing an "always-on" system for the city-building sim. That system backfired when servers buckled under the weight.
EA has already said players can access their previously downloaded content in the single-player mode, and they can save their files locally. A new FAQ reveals players still have to sign into Origin to launch the game, but Origin can be put into an offline mode while the single-player mode is being played.

The whole reason I didn't buy the game was the lack of being able to play offline. Might pick this up now.

I think it's pretty dumb how they made it so you have to play online form the beginning, they should have made it like this from the start.
