Though some will probably instinctively react to these developments saying this is all merely posturing or scare tactics on EA's part, one individual on Twitter claims they are already facing the music for doing so. The idea of such extensions have long appealed to the FIFA community but perhaps unsurprisingly, there hasn't been a lot of discussion as to whether the personal advantages came at the expense of account security and/or game health. Worth noting that even Two-Factor Authorization won't protect your account from third-party extensions you give permission to access it. Browser extensions can capture your passwords, track your web browsing, insert ads into web pages you visit, and more. When you use these third-party apps and browser extensions, your login info can be visible to third parties and someone could use that info to take over your account. We don’t want you to use third party apps and browser extensions because it puts your account at risk. If you share your credentials with someone who is using a modified platform, that breaks our rules too. In other words, the console must work the way it did when it came out of the box from an authorized retailer, and the PC does not have any software running to modify the game or the game’s interactions with EA. An unmodified platform is a console or PC that no one has adjusted or added anything to that would change the way it functions.
You must also use either an unmodified platform or the official FUT Web and FUT Companion Apps to avoid breaking our rules.
An official version is one that you bought from us or an authorized retailer. You can only access FIFA, FIFA Ultimate Team, and our FIFA servers using an official version of EA SPORTS FIFA, otherwise it breaks our rules. While rumors had long circulated that some FIFA web app import/sync extensions put you at risk of possibly having your personal information (most notably your most recent login to the FUT web app) jeopardized, there now appears to be an even more concrete reason not to leverage these otherwise appealing third-party extensions or softwares.įrom the updated verion of EA's "Know the rules in EA SPORTS FIFA 18" knowledge base article: Connect to EA Servers using anything other than EA Web or Companion apps or an unmodified platform
An updated version of FIFA (as well as EA's) Terms of Services makes one thing about the game's companion apps clear: if you use certain Google Chrome extensions/add-ons to try and get a leg up in FIFA 18 to take shortcuts in valuating your club or completing Squad Buildling Challenges, you could receive a strike or even ultimately be banned for it.
