Child account FC25 on Switch

Hello.

I have successfully created a child EA account. I have purchased FC25 on the Nintendo Switch. I cannot link the child EA account within the game and therfore cannot get online. Both options given for linking accounts do not work.

First option requires date of birth entered which immediately fails as my son is 11.

The second option is a QR code for logging on via a phone. It asks for an email address. If I enter my email address which is the one linked to the child account it doesn't work. If I enter the EA ID for the child account it also doesn't work.

Please help. In the UK if that makes any difference. 

PS. I've got to the point of dreading my children asking for any games that are online in anyway (basically all of them). It's always so complicated and time consuming getting it to work.

  • I’ve got the same problem, hate this * processes to get the games up and running.

    Tries to get an epic games Account to link with the newly create childrens EA account.

    Dosent seem to be possible, any ideas?

  • Who can this be so hard to get right?

    And where is EA to give a solution to this?

    Pre this mess I was planing on buying this for the PS, well guess what, that is NOT happening !

    I'm having this exact issue! Created my sons EA child account for his PC games. He has FC25 on Nintendo Switch and it has asked me to sign in with EA....only gives me the option to log in with my email and my account not his user name!? I've searched everywhere for a way to contact EA and so far come up with this forum...which has been here for 10 months and they haven't answered...
