Madden 18 and HDR

[CaptainFear]

I have a Samsung KS8500 65in and an Xbox One S, along with Madden 18. My TV is fantastic and HDR looks great on apps, movies, and other Xbox games. However, with the Madden 18 HDR update, the game got noticeably dim. I was able to alleviate that with the Contrast and Brightness settings in the game's settings, but it still doesn't look as it should imo.

I did notice since the HDR update that when on the title screen with Brady, it will look dark for 5 - 10 seconds, then it will flash and look incredible for about 5 seconds, and then flash back to how it looked before looking incredible. Does anyone else notice this?

I get the EXACT same washed out look. When I launch the game it looks amazing for 10 seconds, then flashes and I get the dim washed out look during then load/launch.

Known issue, there was another thread about 5 days back detailing the same problems. I have a Sony 65x850c.

Don't let anyone tell you "that's what hdr looks like".. Because I have other hdr content that is amazing but Madden is awful.. Awful.

HDR issues?

HDR in Madden feels like a lie. I'm not seeing it in comparison with other games.

Looks good, as does my screen, very similar (after tweaking). Did you have to adjust in game brightness and contrast?

I am kind of a nerd for calibration and nothing I could do would make the game look good. I ended up turning off HDR in the xbox menu when I play madden. NBA 2k18 demo looks great in HDR, as well as 4k HDR Guardians 2 (played through the Xbox).

Your screenshot looks amazing.

You have a 75x850c ? I have spent (literally) 10 hours trying to troubleshoot this... Please, what are your settings (PM is fine) for the HDR picture, and do you have everything set to AUTO for your inputs?

No matter what I do, my game looks washed out and terrible. The major difference is in the grass compared to yours
