Lighting Patch?

[tmoney2345]

I went in the settings on the Xbox one X and turned off the HDR and it’s a night and day difference. It’s no longer too dark even in the shadows and the colors pop even more. Maybe almost too much lol. But with HDR off it def looks better than madden 18 looked with HDR on imo. There’s still shadow detail at appropriate times and based off stadium, time of day, and weather. I suggest anyone having issues to try it just once and you’ll never go back unless they decide to patch the lighting in some way.

I was throwing around the idea of people who are having issues sharing their HDR screenshots with those who do not experience those issues, and vice versa, and then we could watch one another's shots on our own consoles in HDR. That way we can rule out the possibility of it being the game or some console setting that isn't correct.

Oh ok, i think i am confusing it with video...

Yeah maybe try turning it off if it bothers people that much and then once they fix it, if they do, then re-enable it.

I do not see any issue at all with Madden 19 in lighting on the Xbox One X but on the PC I see the darkness people are talking about. I don't have HDR or have anything to do with HDR on my PC so not sure why I would be afflicted with this on the PC..but even then it's only in certain times of day so it's not a gamebreaker for me or anything.

Do you guys think this is something people just need to get used to??

My issue is non HDR users and 1080p players aren’t benefitting from this whatsoever. I still play on a 1080p monitor (perfect for the size and distance from eyes) and yet I’m suppose to cater to lighting effects that favor 4K/hdr players. Battlefield and battlefront give me nice options on how bright and how much contrast I won’t. With maddens toolset, it’s a joke. Every option in those accessibility settings is an extreme jump in between each option. Just give me better settings for visual aspects (better brightness, contrast, hdr sliders). If it’s in the other games, it shouldn’t be an issue adding it into madden

HDR Off in console settings is the only way I've been able to get an acceptable appearance. It only takes a couple seconds to change it, so it is a minor inconvenience, but it sucks knowing that I am losing out on what should be the best visual experience.

There is definitely something very wrong with the game that is affecting some percentage of users, so hopefully it is fixed sooner rather than later, or never at all.

I think the lighting looks great on PS4.

I just got the PES 2019 DEMO, it has a hdr brightness slider, the game looks good.

[ehh]

But it might not be as drastic as some claim. Sent from my XT1650 using Operation Sports mobile app

This is what I've been saying all along. Night, overcast, and evening games are fine. It's bright and sunny 1 PM games that look off.
