Heya @Yumina0127

Looking in the EA TOS:

6. Rules of Conduct

When you access or use an EA Service, you agree that you will not:

Use or distribute unauthorized software programs or tools (such as "auto", "macro", hack or cheat software), or use exploits, bugs or problems in an EA Service to gain unfair advantage.

Cited from: tos.ea.com/legalapp/WEBTERMS/US/en/PC/

This software would give you specifically, an advantage over other players, as you would have a crosshair displayed on your screen whilst the other players do not.

I can't confirm 100% for sure whether or not this goes against the EA TOS, but looking at what was previously cited, you are using unauthorized software programs or tools to gain an unfair advantage, so it's possible for you to get actioned for using something like this.

I don't believe there is any other kind of software or methods that can be used that is allowed per the EA TOS, as it would still give an unfair advantage.

Personally I would recommend against using this kind of software.
