Know the rules in EA SPORTS NBA LIVE

It might seem like a no-brainer, but accessing another player’s account is totally and completely against the rules. Hackers will be banned from the Community Market and trade block.

You can earn LUT Coins by playing LUT and buying and selling cards in the Community Market, but buying Coins from a third-party is against our rules.

A few ways to earn LUT Coins legitimately are:

• Playing games in Ultimate Team
• Completing solo challenges
• Buying and selling players in the Community Market

Buying Coins unlevels the playing field. It affects the player economy when the prices of items in the Community Market increase and become unaffordable. When Coin Buyers buy cheap items in the Community Market, they take away the opportunity to buy affordable items from players who earned their Coins legitimately.

If you buy Coins, you’re at risk of having your account information stolen by phishers. Coin Sellers need account login information to give out Coins, so they can remove players and Coins, too. Then they’ll turn around and make a profit off of the items they steal and hack someone else. Help keep your account safe and don’t give your login information to anyone, especially not to buy Coins.

Buying “mule” accounts or performing comfort trades are also not allowed. These things are against our gameplay rules because they have a negative impact on the game economy, and they damage gameplay for you and other players. When in doubt, don’t do it.

Like we said above, you can earn Coins in a bunch of different ways in NBA LIVE. But farming Coins is a big no-no.

Don’t know what Coin farming is? Good, keep it that way.

For those of you who do, if you use any sort of Community Market bots or disconnection methods in-game so you can earn Coins fast and illegitimately, that’s breaking the rules. Just stop.  

Coin selling and distribution inflates the NBA LIVE economy. That means disrupting the safe buying and selling environment that legitimate players are trying to use to get the players they need for their Ultimate Team. That’s rude.

Promoting the sale of Coins, anywhere, breaks our rules. Buying Coins breaks our rules, remember? We go over that in rules two and four above.

Using bots or exploiting the Community Market in any way gives an unfair advantage and hurts the experience for you and other players. It can also negatively affect the affordability of items that are for sale in the Community Market, making it harder for legitimate players to enjoy the game they know and love.

Making a false claim to EA Help Advisors or any other EA representative is against our gameplay rules, and it’s not cool. Breaking the rules makes it hard to provide a fun, safe, and secure environment for you and all players.

Nobody likes a cheater, so it’s against our rules. Cheating can include, but isn’t limited to, using external tools, performing in-game exploits, and abusing glitches or bugs. In-game cheating is not fair play and hurts the experience for the players you are playing against.

Your account is yours and yours alone. Sharing it with someone else is against our rules because you're misrepresenting who it is playing the game to get a competitive edge. It’s also not safe to share your account login information with anybody else.
