Accessibility Resources
Welcome to EA SPORTS™ Madden NFL 25. Before you dive in, we want to ensure your accessibility onboarding goes smoothly. This game offers a rich simulation experience with various game modes, each providing a unique NFL atmosphere. Players can adjust gameplay parameters such as rules, difficulty, and AI behavior to match their preferences. If you are new to Madden or returning after a break, we recommend starting with the skills trainer mode, which covers the basics of the sport, player roles, and how to execute plays.
During the initial setup, you'll encounter accessibility options where you can turn on Menu Narration, remove motion blur, apply full-screen colorblind filters, increase icon size, and more. While control remapping is not available, you can personalize certain kicking and passing mechanics. The game also includes a comprehensive set of Player and CPU AI sliders with five different difficulty levels.
