You have to prove you own the account before deleting it. Otherwise, anyone could contact us, claim they own an account and have it deleted. We can't have that happening as it would mean many accounts would be deleted without the permission of the actual owner. Unfortunately, the only way to recover the account is to fill out that form with information that matches the history of the account.
Than why can’t I just start fresh? I don’t understand why this is such an issue if I don’t even care if I lose old trophies I just want to be able to play nhl 20 online I paid for it and it’s useless to me right now I paid for the special edition for hut with all the extras not to play offline

You can start over with a new account, but if you purchased the game digitally, you'd need to either purchase it again or use gamesharing to have access to it.

I'm really sorry. I get the frustration. I'm sure I'd feel the same way if the game was on an account I didn't have access to. Unfortunately, there isn't anything we can do until you verify ownership or recover the account ☹️
