Electronic Arts included such features in this year’s winner of the AbleGamers Accessible Mainstream Game of the Year Award, FIFA 13. One of the most graphically stunning and fun-filled games of 2012, FIFA 13 scored nearly a perfect 10 in AbleGamer’s game accessibility review process by implementing options such as remappable keys, subtitles and colorblind options, along with game accessibility features the likes of which our foundation has never seen in a high-end commercial game.
The juggernaut soccer simulator included settings that allow players to tailor gameplay directly to their abilities. Gameplay can be slowed down all the way to 10 percent of the normal speed, enabling those with cognitive disabilities to play the game inside their comfort zone. Furthermore, the artificial intelligence (A.I.) can be slowed down, while leaving the player’s characters at full speed, giving gamers with mobility impairments the opportunity to react in more forgiving environments.
