As of September 2012 the newer boxed version of the base game now requires Origin to play, meaning you will need to be logged into an actual Origin account to launch into the game.
The Origin download manager does support an offline mode. To enable this feature first log into Origin while connected to the internet, then click "Origin" on the top menu bar and then select the "Go Offline" option. When you next start Origin while disconnected from the internet, you will be able to log into it in offline mode.
