Change "Origin Avatar"? (Picture in Login Box)

★★ Novice

tsto_login_box.jpegOK, this is what my login box looks like. I set my Profile pic on EA.COM long ago, and just for grins I also changed it again today.

I have been told by EA support that my profile pic SHOULD display on the login box, instead of the silhouette of Bart. It just doesn't.

Detail: when I set my profile pic, I used the select-area-handles to select the entire pic, which is currently 256x256.

I've seen this login picture referred to as the "Origin avatar".

 

1) Has _anyone_ gotten their profile pic to show up on the login box? If so, did you do anything special to make it work?

2) Has _anyone_ gotten some other pic to show up on the login box? If so, how?

 

I was sure I'd seen examples online of people having special pics in there (like a shield or something like that), but right now this is the best shot I can find, and it may be 'Shopped:

Screen Shot

 

Thanks!

I see the Bart silhouette too, now.

 

I used to see my selected pic but it was always slow to load and I usually tapped to enter before I could see myself

I havent really thought about it but when I try it now, it stays at Bart

Looking at my friends, I see only Bart too where I normally saw their pics.

 

You are right, our pics are gone from the game.

This is not game breaking, so it wont be a fast fix.

My pic is back in the game.

 

Forums have different rules.

For AHQ you can not select your own profile pic until you have reached a certain rank, not sure which one, probably Champion or Hero

For the regular forum, you can change it whenever you want

In the game, I still see the Bart silhouette. If your avatar is now showing up in the game, did you do anything to make that happen?

If so, what?

[ Edited ]

@jetmyxHead to your EA Account and edit it to update your profile pic.
I did mine ages ago and also added one to a new account for a new game I started during Winter 2019. Both those show up in my game log-in no problem.
You can pick from the gallery or upload your own picture.
Here's a link . . .
https://myaccount.ea.com/cp-ui/aboutme/index

 

EDIT - pics. Tap the avatar shown to change it, then tap to choose from gallery or just upload . . .

@jetmyx - it's a different set-up on here. If you tap on your name at the top of the page and head to Profile you can choose another Answers avatar but only from the gallery.
Only certain higher ranks get the option to upload their own pic, sorry.
