Re: If i buy EA Play and buy a key afterwards

Thank you for the fast response, in this case, i'm buying the standard version aswell as EA play basic version! so it won't be any stress when acquiring my digital key?

And, another question, if I bought a game that only has languages as English for example, can i download without worries even though i'm not from Britain or USA? thank you!

@AMGSilent  If you buy a key for a game and register it in Origin, you get to keep that game after your subscription expires.  However, you might lose bonus items if you for example bought the standard version but were getting the deluxe version through EA Play.

As to whether you might make a mess... maybe?  There are times when Origin blocks people from playing a game they used to have through EA Play, even though they own the game outright, because Origin is reading the EA Play version on their accounts and blocking access to it.  This can often be solved by selecting Uninstall and then "revert game edition," and if not, EA customer support can sort it out.  It's a bit inconvenient though.

If and when you do buy a key, please make sure to get one from a legitimate seller.

@AMGSilent  You shouldn't have a problem buying the game and adding it to your Origin library.  This kind of setup, where people have an EA Play subscription and also buy games outright, is normal, and it normally works fine.

Some game keys are language-locked, and the version of the game that you get is dependent on the key you buy, not the region where you download the game.  For example, people have bought keys online for other games and found that the keys are for a locked Russian/Polish version.  They only have access to those languages despite living in a region where other languages are available, including sometimes in Britain where only English would be available.

It's too early to know how this works for Fifa 21, but I would expect it to work the same as it does for other Origin games.  At the very least, you'll be able to download the game in the language(s) offered where you live; there's no reason you wouldn't be able to play at all.  Of course, read the fine print where you're buying the key, just to make sure you're getting what you want.
