Just made this post to tell this game runs like a charm on SD as of October 29,2023.

When the game loads up you'll be greetied with a EA login page, where you'll have to enter your EA credentials. Somehow my keyboard of SteamDeck wasn't working on it. As in I tried everything, didn't work.

A workaround to that is told by reddit user "iamtimmah : Go to EAs help page. https://help.ea.com/en/contact-us/ Click login, and choose the Steam option. Link your steam with your ea account. Then try launching your game again. You’ll get the gray screen but give it time and it will go away. "

I did that, it worked and my game runs easy peasy. No issues whatsoever.
