For gameplay information, it's very similar to Madden 19. Here's information on how to play Madden NFL 19. Note, new guides will be available around the time 20 launches.

Liam is correct, you can't stream the beta for others to watch. However, for sake of simplicity, we'll allow discussing this game on this forum.
Sorry for spamming so many short posts. I wanted all urls to be links, and that seemed to be the only way around it.

2019-06-13 01:53:20

karen. if we have beta feedback in regards to accessibility, where would be the best place to send that?

After the beta, you might as well uninstall the game and free up space. What you download for the beta cannot be used when the final game comes out. Also, all progress made in the beta will not transfer over to the final game.

2019-06-13 01:54:49

Will we need sighted assistance to enable the accessibility? How do we enable it in game?

Hopefully, we'll get a fully accessible open world game someday.

2019-06-13 01:57:47

You'll probably need to use some OCR to get to the initial menu. it at least sounds like it'll be easier to find this time around.

You do not need sighted assistance to turn on accessibility. The first screen is a welcome screen. Tap down a couple of times and you'll hear "accessibility". I'm working on getting this patched so it will say that as soon as you load the game, but no guarantees when or if that change is made,
What I'm not sure about it the origin sign-in process. It may be similar to what is outlined in the earlier linked madden guides. I'll get back to you all on this, and may have someone on my team be around on this forum to answer questions during the beta. I'm still working on the details.

2019-06-13 01:58:45

The only problem is, I don’t have a capture card. The connectivity in South Africa varies, but it’s not good enough to maintain a constant stream to my PC. Are we allowed to ask for sighted assistance in that case?

Hopefully, we'll get a fully accessible open world game someday.

2019-06-13 01:59:36

Please ignore my previous post then?  Thanks.

Hopefully, we'll get a fully accessible open world game someday.

Sorry for the spam, but will we be able to play off-line mode as well? I don’t have Xbox live gold.

Currently,  in-game audible menus do not exist, and will not be there on ship. We did try to make this happen, but we ran into technical problems that we were not able to solve in time. There is a bug to try to fix this in a patch, but when or if this is possible is still an unknown. All we can do is do our best to find a way around the problem, and hopefully we'll eventually have a positive outcome. The majority of the menus before getting into gameplay are audible.

2019-06-13 02:06:08

I've never had to fight with the origin screens, but I suspect that's because I'm already signed up for EA vault. NHL 19 and other games have bypassed the login stuff thank goodness.

For feedback, you are welcome to email it to [email protected] . It's also ok to discuss on this forum.
I'm not currently sure if there is an offline mode in this particular build, but there will be in the final game.

2019-06-13 04:52:15

Thank you all for the good info. Some of the questions I’ve had were both asked, and answered.   Too bad about  The in game menus,  but hopefully luck is in our side and is able to be done in the future. @Liam  I don’t even stream yet, but I still read all that stuff.

Hi.
@Karen thanks a lot for all the great information. My plan is to spend as much time as possible with the beta, to hopefully learn the basics. If I like what I see, then I'll buy the game when it comes out for sure.
The in-game menus, are those the pause menu only, or are those also the menus in the actual gameplay? I'm just not sure on what menus you're referring to.
@Liam: Thanks for letting us know that streaming is not allowed. Not that I planned to do it anyway, but it's good to know. big_smile

Best regards SLJ.
Feel free to contact me privately if you have something in mind. If you do so, then please send me a mail instead of using the private message on the forum, since I don't check those very often.

Tell some more information on the acsesibility in Fifa.

Let's make this forum again a place where wont be any drama.

2019-06-13 19:22:27 (edited by Addolis 2019-06-13 19:25:21)

When the game first comes up you will have the License agreement and the sharing preferences. Once you get by this screen, Brandon should start talking.
Do the  following to enable accessibility.
1. Press down on the directional pad until you hear Brandon say Accessibility settings.
2. Press A. Menu narration should speak for the first time and also alert you to the fact that you are in accessibility settings.
3. Press either left or right on the directional pad to turn on menu narration.
4. Adjust any other settings and then  press b to go back.
Now you can adjust your starting preferences.

Thanks for that info. I just have a few questions. This is about the commentary team specifically. So, let me get this straight. As far as I understand, Brandon is going to be the menu voice? That’s not a bad thing at all. That’s actually quite good. If not, that doesn’t bother me at all. Just curious. Also, who is the studio analyst  this year? Is it still Jonathan coachman? Also, are there half-time descriptions in the game like madden NFL 18? If you can’t answer these questions that’s okay. Thanks.

Hopefully, we'll get a fully accessible open world game someday.
