Do you have to have EA Access/Live GOLD to play Rivals?

It's probably a question that'll make people mad, but we renewed EA Access to get NFS Rivals and 2015. The latter failed.
Now I plan to buy it using gift cards from Microsoft Rewasrds. Question is, would you need EA Access?

Or would GOLD be necessary? I don't want a subscription that renews itself and wastes my money without my consent.

You do not need to subscribe to EA Access but if you do you should be able to play NFS: 2015

Rivals is not currently a Vault game.

I'm not sure I have answered your question.

Yeah, I remember 2015 failing on me. To be fair I didn't have Gold.
Thanks!!!
