Maybe I am blind but as far as I can tell I can't change my username. However, I always used a different one on TS forums and I'd like to use that same one here too.
Is there a way to change it or to offer us a means to pick a display name?
The username here follows the one on other sites and in the EA App. You can change that on ea.com, under Account Settings > About Me.
At this time, there's no way to separate the two IDs. I've seen the suggestion that perhaps the forum name could be set to the nickname/gamer ID in the EA App, so if you'd like that too, feel free to post it as feedback here.
Community ManagerHi Joanne_Snow
Yes, there is a way to update your EA forums name! 😄 It involves updating your username on your EA account. Here's how:
Hopefully the username you're looking to lock in is free to use!
All the best. 👋
So it's impossible to strictly make sure my Forum-self is unrelated to what I'm known as when I game? That's a huuuuge shame
Agreed, I don't get why we can't have a separate name here like we did on the old forums, I don't want to change my EA account name to the one from the forums ..
Further to my response to Burnziie this isn't really the solution I am looking for 😕
My username does not follow the EA App one .. why?
Why would my username on the forums be different to my EA ID??
How do I change my username on here as my one now is random

Community ManagerHey THEDOCTOR20005,
We have an entire guide here on how to edit your EA Forums account. It'll explain how you can change things from your ID to your avatar. 🙂
I only have 3 options instead of 4
