First, pardon me if I'm just repeating everything realiitysquared said, I didn't read all of the replies.
My account has two subs - one fir my wife and one for my daughter. These accounts need to be registered at EA as mentioned, this is easy to take care of. I can't remember at what stage I registered the accounts to EA, but it was obvious what to do. Then, when they go to play, one will sign in and activate the split screen, and the other player signs in to PS. When the first player activates split screen, the other player need to hit the options button when prompted, and then they will get signed in to their own EA account.
If both players are signed in, and not playing as "guest," they will accrue all the coins etc. they earn during play. One thing they cannot do on each others' accounts is to play the single player stuff - Davebot quests, the halloween bat, Golden Gnomes, etc. You have to be in your own "backyard" to d these and they cannot be done at all on split screen.
The big limitation of split screen is that they cannot play online multiplayer games together with or against other humans. They can do "private play" on ops as a two-person team, or any of the various multiplayer modes against AI enemies.
Regarding the free sticker packs, each of my sub accounts were able to access these things in the sticker shop, it was not limited to just my account. And, I believe, the sub accounts WERE able to access these during split screen play.
Hope this helps, please ask if I can clarify anything - I'm a bit tired this morning.
pandareno, why do you have your wife as a sub on your account, instead of her having her own account?
Actually, I'm not sure if it is a sub account, it was set up right when we got the PS4 and I don't remember. Now that you prompt me to think about it, it's probably not a sub. I find all these various accounts one needs a bit confusing. But anyway, she hardly plays. Point being, all three accounts got the free sticker packs when starting the game.
