EU HOSTS | UPDATED DISCIPLINARY FRAMEWORK We continue to work together across the EU scene to protect fair competition, and we have now agreed on updated disciplinary guidelines for NBA 2K27 with all Hosts. These guidelines establish clearer boundaries while allowing a route to redemption for eligible players following a ban, subject to strict long-term monitoring, PC checks and any other conditions set by the Admin Team. We also recognise the use of rep-grinding services. However, there is a clear difference between unknowingly using a service involving a device and knowingly choosing a known cheater to grind REP on your account. Players are expected to verify that their services are legitimate or inform the EU hosts beforehand. Please do not mistake this opportunity for leniency. Bans will be firm but fair, and sanctions will increase for repeat offenders. Returning to competition is a privilege that comes with clear responsibilities and strict conditions. Our aim is to work with the community while protecting it. Not every decision will be agreed with by everyone, but we will continue to prioritise the integrity of our competitions while recognising that people can make mistakes and learn from them. Thank you for your understanding, support and passion on this topic. We will not comment further on the matter.
