OK, I have worked it out - goodness only knows how people who are less-technical would figure it out but here goes (it works for ALL EA games on xbox360 and xbox one devices).

 

Basically, you may have an EA.com account and/or an Origin account. BUT you need to download the Origin app from the EA.com website - once you have downloaded the application to your PC or Mac, you then can associate your device(s) with your EA/Origin account.

 

To do this, launch the Origin App and log in to your EA account when the app asks for it.

 

Once logged in to the app, go to 'friends' and then 'add friends' (these words vary from device to device - here you will then be prompted to log in to your xBox live account - do this and then et voila! Your device(s) will be listed and associated.

 

I've worked out that you only need the app to manage the devices - so you can remove the app from your PC after you've done this but you will need to re-install it if you buy a new xBox device to associate that device with the EA account.

 

Here's hoping that this Dad's 3 hours Christmas Day heartache and toil help fixes all your problems, too!

I did all of that, but the option to connect is not there. I click friends on app and it simply prompts me to search for friends not to connect. What do I do?

I need to know if there is an update solution to connecting your xbox account to your Origin, these instructions no longer work as on the origin application, there is no option to connect the two through the add friends section.
