Frustrating help loop

Hi Players, 

Trying to get back into the game after a hiatus. 

But for 2 weeks solid now, I've been looping between EA help live chat and the in-game non-real time EA Help chat. 

Even though I'm using the same Google Play account, same email, same EA account, same Facebook (used to log in previously) - my legacy data - which I also have my Player ID will not link/merge/transfer/overwrite or anything else. Only difference is new device which clearly just didn't sync properly. 

They've acknowledged my legacy data exists, refuse to confirm which email it's linked to (even though I know and error messages when attempting to import).

In game support is blunt and close the chat before the issue is properly assessed, analysed, or understood. Furthermore, EA live chat provide incorrect outdated instructions on how to access in-game support. 

Being told to create a ticket or case number (as apparently only I the user can) and then not having that option is bewildering. 

What other processes have people used for legacy account recovery when you've got so much proof and data yet unwilling support bots who refuse to help!

  • You can try posting in the technical issues forum here, I don’t know if they can help you or not but even if they do absolutely nothing it will be less frustrating than dealing with “support”.

  • So, I have heard of something similar. The key issue is if you deliberately or by accident you delete the Play games account. then it is irrecoverable. even if you recreate the account. it will be a blank slate it's as if it never happened. your game progress and data are held in the Play Games folder or account depending on how you look at it. if you delete this it's gone and CG nor EA can recreate as you deleted it. Play Games asks you just before if you really want to delete. if you say yes then it's gone.
