Do you have to be online to play this game? I don't have internet connection for my PS3, and I want to make sure I don't need it before I buy this.

it has online elements like downloading toy boxes that others have made and there are some online multiplayer options but you do not NEED to be online to play

You don't have to be connected to the Internet at all! My son has been playing this game for over a year and loves it!

If you want the updates then you have to hook it in. But there really isn't updates at this point. There is one update as soon as you play to play online, I am pretty sure you need to be online. But playing online is5 really that different then offline, the only difference is obviously more players, but the enemies get stronger.

The game does require a broadband internet connection. Offline mode is available only in those circumstances where you temporaily lose a connection in which you may continue to play for that session only. Even then you have to login as a "guest" even though you own the game. Guest privileges only last 30 days before you have to login to a live internet connection to re-register the game. Otherwise, you are locked out of your own game. Kinda sucks doesn't it?

Thanks. I assume that if you can download the update to a computer at all you should be able to transfer it to the player. When I originally bought my ps3 you couldn't download the updates without an internet connection.(I think it's possible now, though) I was saved by its wireless feature. I just do not want to run into the same problem in a different place with a different player. Thanks again.

You can definitely play it without Xbox live. That's what I am doing right now because I haven't updated my live membership yet. You only need online play for extra side "activities" like trading fleets, multiplayer, and battling your friends online. But the normal storyline works fine without a membership.

There is a setting on Steam, that allows you to play offline. I think if you choose the game and Polk around on Steam's settings you can find it, plus Steam has that question and answer on their website.

Yes, you can play offline now. Still plenty of bugs that will likely never be fixed but the game is playable and fun.

Yes you need internet connection for your ps3 to download the update. It takes around 45 minutes to install.

Before an update that happened last month. The game had to be connect to Internet in order to play ( with a server, which you couldn't always connect to). So you needed internet and hope a server had enough room for you. Now is completely fine. And I'm not sure if when you purchase the cd for the game if it still requires an account with origin.com. If you do digital download like i did, you need to create an origin account and insert a code in order to download. So long story short, you can now play offline. Anytime, anywhere.

The game is a disk. If you play the story mode only then you don't need the internet access. If you want to play online with other players( very cool) the you need internet access.

You can play it offline when there is no internet the only thing that require internet is the downloadable content the game itself doesn't require it.

You don't have to play on line. You need to create an account but you can play against the computer. The game plays just like the original. I have been having a lot of fun playing it. If you liked the original you will like this.

You HAVE to have internet. You can play solo, but other people will be there and, if offline, you cannot play.
