Did they actually shut the servers down for a time with the online options?
I got the impression they had from the discussion I was seeing in the EA Sports RMPGAT official forum, in its final days, but I never went back in and checked it to see for myself. It's interesting that there's a revival of people playing this game it seems, and it's been brought out of retirement in the EA Vault, yet its official forum has had the plug pulled on it You can go to the title page for each section of the RMPGAT forum, but you get an error message when you try to click on any sub-header.
To sort of answer your question though, there is one thread titled "Daily Tournaments"going back to May of last year, and it ties in with a thread about Daily tournaments not working anymore, and later weekly tournaments not working anymore in roughly that same time frame on Reddit.
EA Sports also made an official announcement that the forum was in its "Sunset" in December of 2017, but it does appear that messages were posted as recently as May of 2019. I'll do some more digging and see if I can find where I learned that the Daily tournaments had been revived and report back on it.
