So lesson from someone who's been trying to fix this all day and thanks to Karren's help, just to be safe, if your rumbles are not working, start a completely new game.  I was trying to do it from an active game and, while she said it should work, it didn't.  If you're having trouble, quit your existing game and start a new one!

Okay, this is definetly a bug and should be fixed.
When you play a play now live game, the difficulty defaults to the pro level.  I am just about done playing the dolphans, and i"ve throne 5 interceptions.  I've tried hot roots,  I've tried mixing run and pass,  I've tried rolling away from the pocket, and nothing. Plus I think it's due tot he fact that on the titans team, most of the receivers are not that great,  so maybe it's not all my fault. THing is, is that those games you should be able to change the difficulty  on them.

Hi.
wo wo wait a second. So the patch has been released?
i can just go into retail, get the game and start playing or is this region locked somehow?
Greetings Moritz.

I would like to say to Karren and the EA team thanks for the hard work on making Madden accessible for the blind.
I was wondering if EA will be working on adding support for the API so that Narrator can read the menus?
Do to the fact that EA is striving to work with the blind, people that I have share with is going to be getting the game just to support EA's work.
Now if I could get a college football game that would be awesome!

To add to that. It wouldn't be fare for XBox users to have talking menus and PS4 users left in the dust, so I'm pretty sure they probably wouldn't add it unless Sony gets some equivilent API.

@Orin:
I disagree. Ever heard of exclusive content?

That being said, I'd like everything to be equal, but it probably won't happen.  I'd suggest that, until Sony tells us otherwise, that we should just face up to the harsh reality that whilst Sony is currently, according to some, winning in terms of exclusives, Microsoft have pushed the envelope and Sony haven't budged.

As a result, if any accessibility is going to happen, it'll likely happen on Xbox One or PC before it comes to PS4 if it does so at all.

I'm sorry to have to be the bringer of bad news in terms of this though.  I'd really like to not have to worry about what console has what features, but that's pretty much the way of things as I see it.

totally how football works.

I still can't kick a field goal

Wow the game is expensive here. It's around 85 dollars. I'm not complaining. It'll take a while for me to save up the money for the game.

yeah there are updates to the commentary every week I think. not exactly sure though.

I'm going to try to refine the guide's pass plays to something more clear. I also double-checked with the game play team.

Pass plays. You will feel a long rumble if it is a pass play. Tap all of the following repeatedly until you feel a rumble: A/X, B/circle, X/square, Y/triangle. In the game, icons appear over each player’s head the first time they are open for a pass. By tapping all the buttons, you are ensuring that the player is open as early as possible. There is no guarantee that a player will remain open. Once you feel the rumble, the ball is in the air and you must immediately stop tapping. Press X/square to attempt to grab catch the ball and run towards the goal, press Y/triangle if you want to attempt to aggressively catch for greater odds of obtaining the ball. It does not matter how long you press the button for catching the ball, or exactly when you press it - the ball simply has to be in the air. Once the passed ball is caught, ball carrier rules apply.

simba - Commentary updates constantly.

SLJ - I don't know where you live, but there are multiple versions of madden. The GOAT (greatest of all time) edition is more expensive. In the US, you can get standard for 50 on amazon or 60 digital download on xbox live. The goat edition is 80 and comes with extra madden ultimate team virtual cards.

Two questions because I'm already incredibly hooked. First of all is franchise mode playable? Secondly is play now the best option if I just want to play a casual game with my favorite team?
