    Had to do this last week for one of our lads

    The solution to this problem is not obvious, but thankfully it will be easy, all you need is a few minutes and a PC:

    1. Setup an EA/Origin account if you don't already have one
    2. Download the Origin Client (do this even if you don't PC Game!)
    3. Logon to the origin client with the account you setup.
    4. Click on the Friends button on the upper right hand side of the client window
    5. Click on Add Friend or the small button at the bottom right of the pane that has the person icon with a + sign next to it
    6. On the left side of the screen under Import Friends there is an Xbox Live emblem, click connect
    7. Enter your Xbox Live/Windows Live information and Sign In

    At this point your Xbox Live Gamertag should be linked to your EA/Origin Account. You can also add any Xbox friends who also use Origin from here. It took me awhile to figure that out, but it should work for you - had the same issue on my Son's Xbox Live Account and NFS:HP, the above steps are the solution I developed to resolve it.

    Not sure of recent times, But EA had an age restriction in place. Not sure if it was 13 or 16. Quite a while since I had this issue with my son, So not sure if it is still the same.

    EA support are pretty good at offering help.
