no cd .exe vs the original .exe

[brute force]

now that I have replaced my original exe with the no cd exe, what do I do for EA updates? I would need to put my original exe back. that means the purpose of the nocd exe isnt served. can i put back the nocd exe after i update with EA patches (since i need the original exe to apply patches). with putting back the nocd exe, would the patches be incorporated or do i have to look for a "new version " of the nocd exe for post patches?

thanks

if they patch the EXE, you would not be able to use your crack and have the new features added in the patch
