Re: [blind-gamers] be my eyes for games?
Hi josh, I have tried madden with the ps 4 and I was able to play a little. These are the issues I had. I did not turn the voice on. Secondly, the only way u I was able to get through the menu was with my son who is sighted. Once in the game I was able to call the default plays. I did not attempt to call my own plays. Once I called my plays I was unsure of when to hike the ball. Once the play was ran, I had no idea of the results of the plan play.. I did not know how many yards if any. In my opinion, there is no way possible I would be able to play this alone. I would like to see your opinion. > On Jul 9, 2018, at 9:25 AM, Josh Kennedy wrote: > > no i have not played madden yet.

Re: [blind-gamers] be my eyes for games?
Hi josh,. I have a few questions. If you would like you could contact me off list. First have you played madden already? If so what game system did you play it on? Did you turn voice feedback on? If so, what was read? Did you find the game enjoyable and how long did it take to learn to play? Your response is greatly appreciated. I have many other questions but if you would not mind answering those up front I would sincerely appreciate it.

Re: [blind-gamers] be my eyes for games?
Some people do not have good hand control. Their hands shake and at times they're not aware this actually happens when it happens. For such cases, placing the camera in a tripod then moving a larger object near it and adjusting the angle of that larger object may or may not work. At least the camera would be steady. people born with cerebral palsy can have this as well as people who smoke.

Re: [blind-gamers] be my eyes for games?
Well, just listen to them telling you to go a little up or down with the camera. I even watched a judo match with a volonteer who doesn't know anything about judo. She was describing it so vividly, without using any judo terminology, that I got it 100 per cent! So yes, you should still make some effort to follow their instructions. As per games, it would probably do. You first ask kindly if the volonteer would have the time you need for that, and then if not, you should understand them as everyone goes about their own lives.

Re: [blind-gamers] be my eyes for games?
To be fair. I think the "they" is a bit generalizing. It's a service upheld by thousands of volunteers all over the world. There will definitely be ones that are not patient or down right rude from time to time, but that is true to any organization that relies chiefly on volunteers that aren't monitored during calls. On the topic of game menu reading. My suggestion is to try it. If one volunteer says no, try another time, if another one says no, try one more time, if you get no 3 times, then it's probably a no-go.
