Hey, Darrel and Karren.
Can you please let me know how to go into victory formation?
I would like to be able to take a knee when there is only a minute left in the game.
Thanks so much.

Okay, so I just changed a few options in game options, hoping to change the quarter length, set even teams on, and turn on coach mode.

There's a few times when hitting X when I thought I'd choose a play spiked the ball with this coach mode on, so I'm wondering if I hit the right option.

So I broadcasted an online game.  I had a few watchers.  it was awesome.  Rooting for the lonely blind dude trying not to throw interseptions!

ALso, for anyone who cares, Mixer messages are read allowed by narrator, so, that's neato.

damn nice. probably gonna start streaming too one of these days.

Wow. I think I need to switch to another difficulty level other than rookie. Right now, with my Oakland Raiders franchise, I am 3 - 0 with scores of 77-7 in the first game, 55 - 3 in the second game, and 49 - 3 in the third. I mean, I love piling up the points, but I think I am going to try a different level to see how that goes. smile

Hello to all of you!
TO go in to victory formation, do the following.
Press circle or b until you h hear the popping noise that says your at the top of the menu system.
Press down on the directional pad three times until you get to play type.
Press a or x on playtype, and then move once to the left. This is the special teams area.
Press down on special teams to go to clock management, and press a or x. Then press down once and press the X or square button.
Another note, I have put the guide I have been working on in dropbox.
It contains my own tips for things, plus a lot of Karren's notes compiled in to nice sections, that screen reader users can navigate well. It is a pdf, so please have adobe acrobat installed.
If there are any changes that need to be made, or if anyone would like to contribute things, I will be more than happy to collaborate with you.
Thank you all again for making this happen. Here is  the link.

Hi.
Ok, i am confused now.
For example your compilation says that when you run the ball, you should hit ls up and spin with right stick or by hitting y.
But I thought you spin out of tackles with the b button, this is how I do it.
Same with passing, you don't speak about hitting the face buttons till the rumble comes up.
has the guide been written before the features were introduced? Because if so, maybe some things need to be redone to not confuse new players.
Greetings Moritz.

Hi Darrel.
Thanks a ton for the guide. THis is exactly what I needed. I haven't read through it all yet, but what I have seen so far is fantastic... Now I'll just wait to the price drops, so I can buy the game at the same price as others... smile

Best regards SLJ.

SLJ, Thanks for the comments, that actually made my day, and that's humbling for me.
I'll go back and revise the guide to include the disgussion about suggestions and rumbles.  When you read the part about the kicking system, I included the rumbles, but forgot all about the passing.
Thanks for letting me know.

Hello to all,
I am replacing the pdf document with an MHT document. THis is a sing file webpage, that maintains all the original formatting, but shouldn't break the mac.
Enjoy, and please feel free to contact me here, or use the manual at the bottom portion for my email address.
Thanks,
Darrell

Hi.
Oh ok, thought you wrote the guide before the features were introduced.
I still need help with passing, well, I do hit my players sometimes, but sometimes, I just throw interceptions, or I am not hitting anyone for multiple downs, i don't know what is going on there.
Greetings Moritz.

SOmetimes you are just going to get intercepted. It is dependent upon your player's catching ability, which is dependent upon there raiding. I didn't go in to raidings, and there is a way to edit them, but It's a very time consuming process, and unless people clamber for it, well... I can see what i can do...

Also, your players will progress over time. This let's them develop naturally, though I know how you feel. I threw 5 interceptions against the dolphans on pro difficulty in play now live.

Don't know if I mentioned this, but I'd like to say congrats to everyone who is excited about this effort. I'm not a fan of these games or care to play them, but it's amazing to see that certain devs have taken the initiative in reaching out to the blind community and implemented accessibility to their game. Thank you for doing this.

personally, I  hope that something like this can occur with the Fifa games, as I always wanted to play those games. Nevertheless, it's exciting to hear about this even though I don't play these games.

Hey, Darrel.
I tried your instructions on how to go into victory formation so that the QB can knee the ball.
However every time I follow the instructions I keep bringing out the field goal unit.
Can you please be more specific on how to go into victory formation or how to knee the ball?
Thanks so much for all your help.

2017-10-25 01:55:00

Okay, let me see if I can explain this again.
1. Press the b or circle button until you hear the noise that indicates you are on the top level menu for the game.
2. If you are not already on playtipe, or are on coach suggestion, press down 3 times, and then press the a or x button.
3. Press left once from  the quick pass option which is whare you start. THis will place you on special teams.
4. From special teams, press down once, and then A if on xbox, or x if on ps 4. This is the clock management section.
5. Press down once and then X on your xbox controler, and if on a ps4, this is the square button.
I hope this helps.
Darrell

I am still not able to get into victory formation.
I even followed the steps you list.
Is there a button I could press to do it for me?
Thanks again.

2017-10-25 18:46:26

If you have a season started don't go to play now.
The reason is that I went to play now last night to test some of the play book stuff.
This afternoon I went to franchise mode and it would not let me continue my season.
If anyone knows how I can reload my season that would be great.
The game wanted me to pick off where I left at from the play now mode when I went to season mode.

2017-10-25 18:56:48

I figure it out about the season issue I was having.
Here is what to do if you have the same problem.
When you go to franchise press up one time then press the A button one time.
Then press right one time and press the A button one time.
This will take you to the play week or advance week screen.

2017-10-29 00:23:18

When I play a simple season franchise, I never have to press up when I'm back at the screen with play game and advance week, as focus is always on the play game button.
Thanks,
Darrell

Hello everyone.
I need to ask a favor of you all. I just did a mixer test, and while the quality of the audio is still suspect,  I want to get your thoughts on it.
This will not be the last test that I do.
This first one was done on the wireless connection.
I will do one more  connected directly to my modem.
On the second test, for those who can see, please let me know if there is any video.
Thanks,
Darrell

Hi all,

I just published a podcast discussing Madden and the accessibility changes found in Madden. It features me, my co-host Brandon armstrong, and our guest is Brandon Cole.

Give it a listen.

So, I got the 10 hour trial of madden 18 and it seems I can only play longshot mode. Also, the guide to enable settings does not work. when I go all the way to the right and hit A and then go down twice and hit A it brings me back to where I can go through the different tabs. The game over here costs 100 dollars australian, and even with EA Access, I can't justify paying 90 dollars for a game that I know nothing about. I would like to try the accessibility features and stuff, but only being able to play longshot mode, is very sad. I have tested this. also, the setup was far different to the guide. I did not get told to chose my team or anything, just the difficulty. and it seemed to pick that automatically as I found myself in the main menu and could replay that video about chosing difficulty. If it helps, I also had maddon 17 on here as well.

:D happy to help out with games and the like... maybe :D
