That's a fairly strict pathway to make it all happen. I don't see EA totally re-writing the game to use some other approach; it would not make sense. So either this is the whole enchilada, or it's a hoax. There is not a technically feasible/reasonable alternative solution that I can see EA pursuing.
That appears to be some pretty sound reasoning.
