Accessibility Issues for a Disabled Gamer

There are a couple of accessibility issues for a disabled gamer like me. I am deaf-blind and I still have some of my vision left. There are a couple of major issues I am having with M25.

1. The response timer during the coach scenarios is too short. Due to my poor vision, it takes me a while to read through the options, especially since they are very small on my TV. I have to get up from where I am sitting and walk to the TV as I sit far to be able to see more of the TV. Most of the time the timer is already running out so this makes it a hassle. I do also use the Xbox's zoom feature but that too is a hassle as some controls are disabled once the zoom feature is enabled. An option to either extend the timer or disable it altogether would be nice.

2. The Pass Block mini-game is frustratingly difficult as I have issues seeing the balls on the field. It would be easier if the balls were highlighted. Relying on hearing or looking for smoke from the machines isn't ideal when the user is deaf-blind.

3. Some fonts in the UI is way too small and hurts my eyes trying to read through this game. An option to increase font size would work.

4. I know it is a very tall order and the nature of the sport makes it hard to have a closed caption option for the commentary much like MLB The Show has had for years. The commentary teams is heavily marketed for M25, while there are complaints about it from the fans, it would have been nice to be able to experience that as a deaf person.
