What works

My hardware:

8 GB ram Intel Core i3

HD Radeon 128-bit 2 GB 6670

The game runs normally.

Reached the mark of 33 fps with opensource radeon drive in 1366 x 768 video resolution.

With the AMD Catalyst driver cannot run the game normally, always appears the black squares. To fix the problem of black squares, have to activate the antialias the game in video options, solves 99% of cases, but reduces the fps to 21 fps at 800 x 600 video resolution.

What does not

The game won't install. The problem is the label of the DVD containing the special character (TM) which is not attributed to the label of the DVD device.

So, you have to install the game in a virtual machine or in a partition running windows and then copy to the linux partition. This problem affects other games from EA.

Additional Comments

Components that must be installed: Visual C++ 2008 PhysX 9.10 or above d3dx9_36 dll With wine staging and CSMT enabled, the game reaches 33 fps, With normal wine, the game reaches 26 fps, For the opensource radeon drive, add the following statement in your .bashrc: export vblank_mode = 0 This statement turns off vsync video driver, dramatically increasing the fps of your game.
