You're probably good until you sign, but once you do, you have an automatic success limiter. You won't be able to sell your work anywhere but your own site and even if that turns out successful, every dime you bring in can be confiscated by EA. And frankly, EA's relatively likely to pursue such a claim even if it doesn't bring them more money that it'll cost to pry it away from you. That's because such policies can be overturned later if they don't take steps to assert their rights now.
