How is a company liable if they allow their game to be edited and people do whatever on their own devices? That has never made sense to me. Even if we know the majority of people will use real rosters (and logos if you allow generic team editing), people can do make completely fictional rosters and teams. A legal and alternative use for an editing function is not just plausible, it can be demonstrated and verified. Why is it a legal problem? I am neither a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV.

It is one of those "You knew but did nothing to stop it" kind of situations. Like if someone was at my job doing something wrong, and I knew but did not tell anyone or try to stop it, I would most likely be held accountable, too.

It sucks, but it is the easiest way for EA not to fall into one of those garbage traps of someone who could not make it in their professional sport, so they file a lawsuit.
