For example when introducing the starting lineups, the game doesn't really do that. I love the way that the buffalo bills radio network does it, at least introducing the main starters for both sides. Also, during the superbowl game, I think the game should have a more elaborate start and ending. There should be a cointoss, and there should be an introduction done by the head ref during the game. After the game is over, there should be interviews for the wining coach, and reactions from the players.
The coaches interviews should take place during the games period, but that is just me.!
Thanks so much for reaching out!
Watching the old ones the NFL put on Youtube they actually do go through the teams, or at least did (I'm talking Elway's era here), in the 97 one they went through the entire starting offense for both teams, and even introduced both coaches last so that's something that could work and I do believe the commentary does at least mention the QB a bit on an opening offensive possession. That being said, eAccessible, I would ove for you to get together with the team at Tiburon and honestly....and I KNOW this is a long shot, but......I would love for you guys to invite blind gamers to the presss/Youtuber gatherings you guys do.
Every year you EA guys invite big Youtubers to help hype up the game, now, eAccessible, I don't begrudge that, I know how marketing works.but...and I have a sneaking suspicion you're under an NDA here, but at least pitch the idea to your team/higher ups that you guys say 'Alright, this time we are going to invite blind gamers/disabled gamers to the offices to sit down with the devs and get their feedback playing X build of the game or Y build and really listen to them', instead of inviting big Youtubers out there who, being blunt, are just there as marketing mouthpieces and not disabled in any way.
Being even more blunt, why would somebody like....say...QJB give a fuck about accessible modes? Much as I like the guy, he's not disabled, he's not blind, he has no idea what blind gamers go through honestly, IMHO you EA guys need to sit down with blind and disabled gamers and really let them go through every facet of the game while it's in development frankly.
EDIT: I remember Madden 07 had little mini cut scnes after a game with interviews BUT those were canned animations with no sound or anything.As much as I think it'd be neat, what purpose would it really serve? I mean you'd end up skipping it after a few times anyhow.first few times
