if you want to play this game. you gotta use EA play

Redeem your Code key on EA library

"THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART!"
Once you added the game to your library click on repair.



It will additionally download few more MBs which was not downloaded with steam. (Because life sucks!)

After that try to login with EA Account and play the game.
