If I use my own *.cfg files, can I get a ban on my account?
I'm using a config file to scroll my mouse wheel on my controller, can I get banned?
FYI, all I know is the following:
"When you access or use an EA Service, you agree that you will not:"
"Modify any file or any other part of the EA Service that EA does not specifically authorize you to modify."

Adjusting config files has been allowed in the past in tournaments, but it was specifically allowed for in the rules for those tournaments, but not in recent tournaments.
Scripts and macros that give an advantage are obviously cheating.
"We ask everyone to play within the rules of the game and refrain from tampering or using cheats"

You can only fiddle with the in game settings, it is a good rule not to get yourself banned now or in the future.
"Keep Things Fair
Play games the way that they are meant to be played.
Don’t: Use exploits, cheats, undocumented features, design errors, bugs or problems to get a leg up on others"
