Cannot play online madden

My brother cannot play madden online no matter how hard we both try to resolve the situation. We don’t know the email or password to the ea account linked to his xbox account so we can’t get in to change the email and password so he can log in. His account is not a child account or anything and everytime we try to log in with his xbox to get in the ea account it says “ineligible account” we’ve tried off and on to resolve this since December. We can’t get a phone call with an EA representative to fix this either. Pretty sure this will be me and my brothers (mine because a plethora of other issues related to me) last time buying a madden game if this can’t be fixed.

    We don't set random email addresses. That would have happened from someone hijacking the account. Regardless, they'll have to go through the account recovery process to try to get access back to it.

    Hi there, @therealdt27.

    If you can't get to the settings menu within Madden, try downloading the FIFA 20 demo. Then, have him go to the settings screen there. He can see the email for his EA account at Customize > Online Settings > EA Account.

  • He can’t access the email as it’s some anonymous email from ea.

  • Hey all,

    2 days ago I was able to log into Madden 20 on my PS4 no problem. Yesterday I broke out my PS3 to play NCAA 14 and I signed in with my current PSN account. When I logged in to NCAA it said my account was disabled. Now tonight I'm trying to log into Madden 20 and it's saying my account is invalid. When I try and use my PSN to sign in I'm met with this error in the attached photo. I've tried everything from resetting passwords, trying to make sure my email address was correct. I read someone on here say when they signed in to their PS3 it created an extra account or something? I'm not sure I've exhausted everything. Do I need my accounts unlinked?

  • I got the same message on XBOX One. I haven't logged into any other system but I kept getting the message even after changing passwords etc.

    Hello, @D_Cashley and @acminnich8.

    Try changing your password at www.origin.com. If it's still not working after changing your password, wait about 90 minutes. If you have too many unsuccessful attempts at logging in, you'll be locked out for a bit and will need to try again after that time passes.

  • I've tried that now, and it's still telling me my account is invalid. 

  • @EA_Aljo No they won’t they never respond back or fix the issues that you have. I have been waiting since the 2nd of may and I have not heard anything back no matter how many cases I submit no emails no phone calls nothing you guys are the worst
