Origin Account age limits

Dear Sir/Madam,

My son (11 years old) recently purchased the PS Vita version of NFS: Most Wanted but seems unable to set up an origin account due to an age limit. I am quite happy for him to do so under supervision (I will hold onto the account password) but, even logging into my own origin account, it won't work. What is the lower age limit for online play (the game is a PEGI 7 so he exceeds this) and is there any way around this?

Thank you.

Hi ooalioo,

For all Account & Billing related issues we do need you to contact an EA Game Advisor for assistance.

Please log in with your Origin account and then choose "Product", "Category" and "Platform" to see the contact options.

Thanks,

Barry.

I am afraid I do not have a great solution for you...The work around is a new account with a new profile that increases your age. EA have no problem with this as long as it is done with the permission of a parent, which they cant verify btw, so as a result you can pretty much do as you wish. I tried to make it so that my son could have my permission through the XBOX system however that didn't work as clearly there is no communication between Microsoft and EA.....this may have changed since we tried this last but I doubt it.
I am sorry this isn't as easy as it should be, I even spoke directly to EA about this and nothing was ever resolved.
Why cant chat be disabled? if this is the reason online interactions must be for over 18's then simply disable it for minors...Good Luck and happy gaming!

This is ridiculous. I am not buying EA games until they lift the age restriction. I am the parent and decide what games my kids play. EA sports is not the parent.
