Great addition. I don't have the best eyes anymore so this makes me very happy.

This is a very welcome addition. Now my friend who has poor vision cant use his eyes as an excuse when I beat the snot out of him.

As someone who just learned that positive and negative balances in OOTP were green and red, respectively, this is a welcomed addition! (And I've been playing OOTP since v4...)

Color blindness is ignored way too often in this digital age, but I'm glad to see more developers are making an effort to offer options for those with particular seeing disabilities (OOTP does have a dark layout that fixes these red/green colorblind issues I had).

Good job, EA. Actually, I take that back. Great job.

My brothers neighbor is legally blind (but can still (sort of) see) and he's a hell of a gamer. I wouldn't play against him in anything. Heck of a guy. Glad this is optional. Makes it a WIN/WIN for everybody.

Great addition...does not effect me at all but is a great move by EA.

I noticed they're doing some cool things to help people with limited vision. I haven't been able to play Madden in a couple years, ever since they took away the "coach talk," right before the play, that explained what kind of play it was. This was great for me, because I can't see well enough to know if I'm picking a pass or run play. My question, is there a way to know what I'm picking without reading the screen. In other words, can I map plays to particular buttons?
