Constantly on this for every game I buy, yet it goes ignored a lot of the time. Some game now have 'colourblind' options which to be honest, are just rubbish filters. The better ones tend to just affect on screen icons and overlays etc..., the worst ones just stick the filter on everything (like Madden 19) which makes everything just look weird and wrong, like someone has been messing with your monitor/TV settings.
Colourblind support for FIFA 19 is non-existent; unbelievable in this day and age. Sure, you can choose a home and away strip, but that doesn't help much when facing someone with kits that aren't solid blocks of colour. I tend to stick to a wholly black or yellow strip which works against some teams that also use very solid colours...
However, the two biggest annoyances are that the triangle above the players head is red. It's difficult to see which is a huge disadvantage as you spend half your time hunting for the highlighted player whilst your opponent breezes through on goal... Or even worse, trying to find the player marker from a corner kick then giving away a free kick for time wasting.
Secondly, the referee... Invariably, the referee will have colour which are too similar to one of the teams. My particular favourite is when I play in my yellow strip with black shorts, and the referee turns up with... a yellow strip with black shorts! I spend half the time trying to pass or control the referee. Sounds hilarious, right? Down right insulting to be honest. Even with other strips, it's problematic... choose a dark strip for one of the sides, and the referee wears a dark red top and black shorts. Choose a lighter strip and the ref turns up with a blue top and black shorts. To be honest, I hope for that referee every time.
So when I start a online game, or an important crunch game (I play FUT), my head goes down every time I see a referee that has decided to wear colours similar to one of the teams.
As for FUT, there's a shop where you can buy things for cash. Why on earth would I buy anything from that shop when something as simple as colours can influence the outcome of a game more than skill.
Unfortunately, all we get in return is lip-service and flanneling. This has been happening for years, decades! It's likely that one in ten customers will be colourblind, so EA is discriminating against 10% of its customers by being lazy and ignorant when it comes to colourblindness.
