The concept is simple. Everyone who played UFC 1 has an Origin account associated with the game. EA wants to email out all those people a beta invite, and there is limited space in the beta. Since lots of people use fake email addresses, lost their passwords, opted out of emails communication on their Origin account (meaning EA can't email them if they want to) they sent out that tweet asking people to update their email address associated with the account and opt in to receive emails, hoping to get more up to date info before sending out the beta invite. Late this past week, they pulled all the data from the database and sent out the email. People who got the email could register for the beta. Now for various different reasons, some people thought they opted in but actually didn't. Or they opted in on the wrong account. Or maybe something else went wrong. So there's one more chance to update your info. When you update your info you don't get any notification that it "worked". All you're doing is updating your info. Some time after the new deadline, someone will manually pull the data again, and send a new round of beta invites to people who are opted in with a UFC 1 Origin account, and hadn't already received an email. If you think the account you're opting in with was the one registered with the game, but it isn't, you'll have updated you info correctly but you won't be in the database to get an email, and you won't be able to register. Verify the account is the one associated with the game. Double check that, it's very important. I don't think you will get any confirmation that anything is setup correctly until this *manual* process is done. There is still lots of space left in the beta to my understanding. This will be the last time they send out invites to my understanding. So follow the instructions to the best of your ability, and wait. If you don't get the email, you won't be eligible to register (despite stories to the contrary, that's what I've been told). I really want everyone here to get in, but if something goes wrong on your end or ours during this last wave of sign ups, it will likely be too late to correct. So just follow the instructions as closely as you can and hope for the best. There's nothing more you can do than that.

Except this all applied to me and I didn't get the email.

Were we supposed to update our info on our account privacy preferences page? Or just the link everyone was told to use to opt in? Everyone was told just to use that "opt in" page. There was no UFC option on the privacy preferences page and there still isn't:



The only place where there's a UFC checkbox is the new page that was added as part of the "do this if you think you were supposed to get the email" process.

Nothing (nor did I expect it, since that wasn't the email I registered UFC with) Switched back to the original email, got the email verification again, reset the preference again, and still nothing. At this point I'm done with it unless I get lucky and the change went in without me receiving the opt in email - it's not worth the frustration. Enjoy the beta guys!

I was able to register before I even got an email about the beta registration. I just followed the link to the beta registration, signed in, and registered. Then I finally got the email later that night.

I'm told the link was wrong in the first tweet.

Following the new instructions and hopefully that works.

What a pointless comment. I understand that it's not hard but it's not working...... I'm clearly not the only one as it's an issue for a ton of people trying to do this. I'm glad that it worked for you but I and other users have followed everything that we have been advised to do but it doesn't work.

Don't think I followed the link from the first tweet, but the "opt-in" links all went to the same page, just with varying referrer info added to the end of this URL: https://www.easports.com/ufc/newslet...text-site-ramp

Well, I've done everything I'm supposed to do & still no confirmation email. I've funded EA Sports from the beginning KO Kings, email hasn't changed in10+yrs. WTH...smh

I clicked the registration link, and i guess i was already signed in, and all it asked was for my prefered system, and then for me to agree to the terms or whatever.

So i did it, and then it said thank you, you'll get your 12 digit code.

Is that all? Or was i suppose to recieve an e-mail or anything else?

Edit: nevermind, i clicked the link again, and got this:


So i guess i'm good, literally took me 1 minute
