Madden NFL 26 rules

Read Section 6 of the EA User Agreement to learn more about our complete rules of conduct.Check out our Positive Play Charter to learn how to contribute towards a positive and inclusive gaming community.

To avoid us taking action on your account, make sure you follow the ten Madden NFL 26 rules.

1. Don’t distribute or sell Coins

Coin selling and distribution inflate the Madden 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 Madden Ultimate Team. Selling Coins can get your account banned.Having multiple accounts and funneling Coins and Items to your main account also breaks our rules.

2. Don’t buy Coins from a third-party

Buying Coins or any other content from a third-party is against our rules. If you buy Coins from a third-party, you risk getting banned.You can earn Coins by playing MUT and selling items in the Auction House, but you can’t purchase Coins.Here are a few ways to earn Coins legitimately:

play games in Madden Ultimate Team
complete solo challenges
sell items in the Auction House.

Buying Coins from third parties affects the player economy when the prices of items in the Auction House increase and become unaffordable. When Coin buyers buy cheap items in the Auction House, they take away the opportunity to buy affordable items from players who earned their Coins legitimately.If you buy Coins, you risk having your EA Account information stolen by phishers. Since Coin sellers need EA Account login information to give out Coins, they’ll also have the ability to remove players and Coins. Keep your account safe and don’t give your login information to anyone. Buying “mule” accounts or performing comfort trades is also not allowed. These things are against our rules because they have a negative impact on the game economy, and they damage gameplay for you and other players.

3. Don’t farm Coins

Coin farming is when you try to get Coins fast and illegitimately. For example, you’re Coin farming if you use bots in the Auction House, or trick the game into thinking you’re playing matches when you’re not. You can store as many Coins in your account as you like, as long as you’re earning those Coins the fair way in-game. Using any sort of Auction House bot or disconnection methods in-game is against our rules.

4. Don’t promote Coin buying and selling

Promoting the sale or purchase of Coins anywhere within our games or forums breaks our rules.

5. Use only official EA SPORTS™ apps and unmodified platforms

You can only access Madden NFL servers using an official version of the game. An official version is one that you bought from EA or from an authorized retailer. Using a modified version of any platform breaks our rules.An unmodified platform is a console that works the same way it did when it was purchased from an authorized retailer.Sharing your credentials with someone who’s using a modified platform also breaks our rules.We recommend avoiding third-party apps and browser extensions, as they can put your account at risk. When you use third-party apps and browser extensions, your login info might be visible to third parties who use the info to take over your account. For example, certain browser extensions can capture your passwords, track your web browsing, insert ads into web pages you visit, and more.

6. Don't use auto-buyers

Using any kind of in-game bots, automation, or tools like auto-buyers breaks the rules. If you make transactions outside of the game or play in an unauthorized way, it gives you an unfair advantage and negatively impacts the experience of other players.

7. Don’t abuse or use bots in the Madden Auction House

Using bots or abusing the Auction House 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 Auction House, making it harder for legitimate players to enjoy the game.

8. Don’t make false claims

Making a false claim to EA Advisors or any other EA representative is against our rules.

9. Don’t cheat

Cheating can include, but isn’t limited to, using external tools, performing in-game exploits, abusing glitches or bugs, performing, using, buying, or selling match collusion, matchmaking manipulation, or win manipulation services. Cheating, inside or outside the game, isn’t fair play and hurts the experience for all players.

10. Don’t hack other players’ accounts

Accessing another player’s account, including account sharing, is against the rules.
