Just bought Madden 20 and can’t play online

So while I was younger I had made a EA account and now that I don’t have accessed to the email or remember the password. I have bought Madden 20 and can’t play online what so ever since I just purchased a new xbox I need to sign in and there seems to be no work around.

    Hello, @TrueSpartan027.

    I definitely get the frustration, but we also have to do our best to make sure accounts remain with their legitimate creators. We may be able to recover the account for you though. For help with that, please see this article: http://bit.ly/EA_Account_Recovery.

  • Why can’t you just do the logical thing and send out a patch that lets players select the email they want to use? I can’t play online either because it has an email from 15 years ago that doesn’t even exist anymore. Stupidest thing I’ve ever seen. Just let me choose the email I want.

Then to figure out that I can’t even play the * game because “my account is invalid.” And you then try for 2 days on how to fix this problem to get no * help anywhere because This game is so irrelevant that you can’t find a  Proper Tutorial on how to fix the problem😭😭.

    @mistahchill 

    Are you resetting the password for the account you're posting from? If so, that doesn't appear to be the right one as Madden 20 has never been played on it. If you don't know the email of the EA account you played Madden on, please open a case here so an advisor can help with the account recovery process.

  • I have madden and many other ea games and I can’t get online it says invalid account. Doesn’t make sense I’ve been owning this account since 2010. I just played head to head july 30 now I can’t get access to online? I’ve made a new account still can’t get access. I can’t get on any of the ea online player modes and I have nhl 20 and don’t want to open it because of madden. How do we fix this problem so I can get back online. If we can’t resolve this I will have to not purchase any ea game again. Help

    I'm with this guy. It's about time to let EA go if they dont resolve this and fast. Dont give me your crap PR responses. We told you, we cannot access the email addresses. I dont know if you tried your stupid account recovery bs but it is a sham.
