Same issue here. I sold my old psn account that was linked to the EA account with my ps4. Now that I got ps5 I had to create a new psn account. So now if I want to play Apex or the new BF2042 when it comes out I have to create a brand new EA account without the things I have collected throughout the years. Even Ubisoft allows you to unlink and link your new external account as a one-time request. Seriously EA, this is some BS! Makes me wonder if I want to play any EA games if I have to get a new account for it.

Hey @martidj23 just so you are aware, selling of a PSN account is a breach of the Sony TOS that you agreed to and can result in your account being banned.

Agree
Unfortunately I flipped 2 accounts (I own 3 PSN accounts and 3 ORIGIN accounts) and flipped 2 .
The main one with one that didn't exist, I'm very frustrated, please EA remove this limitation, I have the entire Battlefield, FIFA franchise, EA play subscriber on Xbox, I usually subscribe on PC, but with this limitation, it's hard for me to be interested in the subscription for my PS5.
I bought the BF2042 ULTIMATE on pre sale, I'm a big consumer of EA games products, but it's hard to buy EA games games for Playstation.

I have the same issue. I created a new account on playstation because I lost my old account. Tired to link the account and it won't let me. Wasted $70 on madden 22 that I won't play now. thanks EA.

I still have the same problem now. It is so annoying to create new Gmail just for another one EA account. So I decided to stop playing EA games.
Ask to EA: if I already unlinked my EA account to the old PSN, why do not allow me to link to another PSN?
Consider to fix it, please!

Is there a reason they do this? I recently got a Playstation though previously had an account that I linked that got hacked so I unlinked it, Now with I'm trying to Link my new account and getting that message. I at least want to know why this is impllimented?
