Re: What EA games have you tried?
@hadi.gsf please e-mail me your ideas to accessibilityfeedb...@ea.com and I'll make sure it goes to the team.
I may act a lot like a community manager, but I'm actually a software developer. Most Madden accessibility features I wrote myself. I've gotten more people on board with helping Madden accessibility this year, which is good as I'm nearly deaf - subtitles and audio tones would be very difficult for me to do myself. I know what it's like to be left out and want everyone to be included, so I do what I can to push accessibility forward. I might not always be successful, but odds are much better than not trying at all.
Gameplay really needs to come before there's much hope for narration, as one conceptual argument impeding progress is that there is no point in narrating menus or add supporting features for a game that can't be played. Squish that argument and things become easier to push through. Which is why an upcoming patch for madden has added features in longshot story mode - I proved that the core game could be played by the blind with the patch, so can I add support for this too? The first thing I was asked by every single person is can this even be played if we make this change? Since the answer was yes, it was much easier to push through.
One step at a time. The steps may be longer than any of us would like, but each step is worth it.
