Login Verification - Cannot access old E-mail from previous ISP

Like several other users, after YEARS of playing NHL games, EA forced me to verify my account the other day. The Email that is registered onto my account is a super old e-mail address which I've looong lost access to after switching ISP's..

I created a ticket (#129212809), and it's been just back and forth. First I was asked to verify my IP address, last 4 transaction, home address, etc. which I did so. 
The agent responded saying they sent a confirmation code to the new email I provided. The code never came, which I stated in the next response.
Then the agent asked me to give the new email again. I did so early this morning and still have not received an answer back or any update. 

The ticket page now says, after still not receiving a response,
"In order to resume this case, please click “Resume Case” below. Once you resume this case you can add more content such as attachments or continue to contact one of our advisors.  Otherwise your case will be autoclosed."

I click resume, and the page just shows nothing -- I can't follow up asking for an update. I cannot play until this is solved and it seems like I will never get this old email address changed. Everything I try just goes back to "please verify". I can't even link this account to my PS5 to start over on NHL without it going back to the please verify on the old email prompt........ I just don't know what to do anymore. The support seems so cryptic, I just want to call EA at this point for help but you can't even get a number! Please guys!

    Hi there, @peelerkarl92 

    Unfortunately, we're not able to help with account verification issues through Answers HQ. You'll need to continue this conversation with an advisor. 

  • EA allowed me to log into that old EA account via my Playstation log in info. However still couldn't change the email because of the same verification. I created a new ticket on the account, and got the same response.

    However NOW EA decided to push the verification on the login via PlayStation credentials, so I can't even respond to the advisor on the affected account because you can't just respond to the emails!! How in the world am I suppose to solve this if I can't even respond to advisers now????????? This is absolutely CRAZY.

    Look at the new threads, there is more people with this same issue. Why are you pushing verification on accounts that have been playing on your services for YEARS then making it so cryptic and dragged out to even solve the problem? Do we need to buy whole new consoles and start all over??? What are you guys doing?

  • Iam having the same issue. Old email I can’t access. EA support is of no help. Been emailing back and forth for days. There has to be a fix for this. Dealing with the support is extremely frustrating. 

  • I have the same issue. Always logged in via Playstation ...even now I can get in to my account. I need to change my a-mail however. My e-mail address is obsolete and I cannot access it any more and it is the only way to verify anything (including changing the e-mail). Any attempt to open a case - goes back to my account. How the hell do you open a ticket to change your e-mail if you can still login. Pretend you cannot? 

     It seems impossible even to contact a support agent - see here.. we cannot help you in the formum... frustrating. I am glad I do not currently play EA games online. Have purchased quite a few but will need to stop now.

    You can open a case with the account you're posting with if you can't log into the one that needs to be verified. Just let the advisor know which account you need help with. Cases can be opened here.
