No Love for the Color-Blind

[imskykid]

I'm sure most of you won't be affected, but those of us with red-green color vision deficiency will have a hard time calling plays with the new color scheme in the play call box for Madden 12.

Basically, the colors red and green are one and the same and don't contrast for us like normal people. Thus, having a green background and the lines that show each players assignment red makes it all blend together and very difficult to see the play. This hasn't been a problem in the past, but, after playing the demo, looks like it is one now.

Like I said, many of you wont have a problem but hopefully we can bring awareness to this issue and maybe have it changed via patch or at least changed for future Maddens.

PS Here's a good website that explains color blindness and has various tests to see if it affects you.

We need to make sure the developers see this post. Like the poster said, maybe this affects 2% of madden gamers, but we can't alienate our color blind brethren. We need to make sure this makes first patch, because I don't think this can be resolved in a tuner set.

Good post OP... Finally a gripe I can get behind... Hopefully there is something that can be done.

Heh. I thought it was just me having an issue seeing as well. I'm totally red green color blind as well.

Although, some developers are starting to recognize that. I believe they had a patch in Bioshock 2 that helped see the hacking meter better after a bunch of people commented that they couldn't tell the difference between the different color areas in the meter.

I don't think the developers can patch this, but maybe next year they can consider making their features more color-blind friendly.

No gamer should be left out.

How many games have this feature?

Now, think about EA actually doing something about it... Yeah... I don't see it coming anytime soon
