Question about Origin/EA Account

[futurefields]

I am trying to get online with Burnout Paradise

It's asking for my EA Account name

I know I have an Origin account, is that the same thing?

same thing

Just your Origin account name. Certain Origin services [used to] accept your email address as well for your login, but I know they phased that out in SWTOR at least. Not sure if that's universal or not though.

I can't get Origin to install fully. The site which provides the autopatcher it's patch file seems to be down still...

anyone else experiencing that?

From what I recall, all prior EA related accounts were converted/merged into Origin accounts?
