The problem is that it's not MY ea account email, it's the PREVIOUS owner's account email. The game is pre-owned and they didn't remove the game from their account and I only realized that after I started playing so now my PSN is connected to THEIR email for THEIR ea account, which seems to be disabled. And because I have no info or anything about the previous owner's account, support wasn't much help.
