submitted by ea_accessible

Hello, today Madden NFL 18 gained new accessible controller rumbles to make it easier for those with visual impairments to play.

Here's specifically what's new:

Here's the full guide, including how to turn the new feature on.

Here's the first part of the text manual, it is too big for one post.

Here's the rest of the manual in text form.

Cross-posted, feedback encouraged. Consider the manual a living document which I'll post on EA's site once in a more complete form.

Please send any feedback to AccessibilityFeedback@ea.com

Thanks!

Accessibility requires that all text be spoken. Is any effort going to be made to speak all of the text? Right now the user has to rely on either a sighted person helping them and/or memorization. It'd be nice if the different text was in different fields that the user could focus on, maybe in like an "explorer" mode.

I can't comment on possible future features, but your feedback is appreciated and noted. Follow me on twitter for any future accessibility announcements for any EA title.

Will other EA sports titles be receiving accessible updates? (If they have not already. If there are other titles with similar features, could you advise which?) Cheers
