Re: You need an EA account for online features

On the EA website, it says all you have to do to link your account is open the game and put in your email and password when prompted, but that's not what's happening. It's telling me that I have to make a new account, even though I already have one. Moreover, it's telling me what email I have to use when creating said account. The user interface doesn't allow for changing the email or selecting an existing account instead of creating a new one to link.

Having the same issue. If I could put in what email to use it would be simple 

So, do I need to change my email on the EA site to match the one been given inside the game?

Ok, so here's what I did:
I logged in to EA (web) with the account linked to my PlayStation and under "connections" / "connected accounts" I unlinked the PSN Playstation Network.
Then I logged out of that EA account on the web and on my PlayStation I opened an EA game and used my usual account there (this time it asked me for my email).
Hope it helps.
