Positive playing experiences and player tools go hand-in-hand.

Account and Platform Tools

When using EA’s online services, you can play, chat and, in some cases, share other content with players including friends. The first step in ensuring you, and your family, have a positive and safe experience when playing is understanding the tools available on your game platforms.

Most major gaming platforms have player and family or parental controls that make it easy to create and manage family accounts.

Understanding In-Game Tools.

At Electronic Arts, we want to empower our players and parents to make informed decisions about gameplay.

FC Playtime was designed to help FC players understand and control how they play. Use it to get an overview of how much time you spend playing, the FUT packs opened, the FC Points purchased as well as to set limits to manage your engagement.

Game Ratings

Video Game Ratings Systems

We know it’s important to understand and be comfortable with the video games you and your children are playing.

Video game rating systems are designed to help players and parents make informed decisions about the games they choose for themselves or their children. 

All EA games are labeled with a rating that suggests an age for which the content may be most suitable, like you would see on a movie poster or streaming service. 

Ratings systems also give additional  information on features, like in-game purchasing. Game ratings and content descriptors can vary by country.

ESRB

ESRB ratings have three parts: 

  • Rating Categories: The recommended age for players (E for Everyone, T for Teen, M for Mature)
  • Content Descriptors:Information on whether the game contains violence, gore, drug and alcohol use, or swearing, for example. 
  • Interactive Elements:  A heads-up on whether there is online chat, or in-game purchases.

The ESRB’s primary mission is to help parents make informed decisions about the video games and apps their children play.

Be Discreet

Consider carefully who you share your information with. Avoid sharing personal or private information online, including when creating your EA ID. Never share anything that could be used to locate you or another person in real life, such as a full name, email address, home address or phone number. People may act differently IRL than they do online. If you want to meet someone IRL that you’ve been talking to online, always let a friend, parent or guardian know.

Be Secure

Ensure your system is up-to-date and protected by using security software (such as virus and malware scanners). Do not open, reply to or forward an email or attachment unless you know the person who sent it to you, and you’ve checked it for viruses. The content could contain damaging software (such as spyware or viruses) or it might be offensive.

Be Positive

Treat others with respect and don’t be afraid to call out bad behavior. Learn more about our Positive Play Charter and how to report players.
