Most of them, but a few have issues at different times of day, especially if they have windows or openings in their roofs.

Found a video that perfectly captures what people here and in the comments of this video are saying about'19 having a "dark" tint or tone to it compared to '18. Do I think the uniforms, textures, and general graphics are better in '19? Absolutely. But, there is definitely something up with the lighting in those daytime outdoor games this year. Seeing a side by side between the two games really helped.

Saw this a few days ago. Madden 19 actually looks as good or better to me here. Unfortunately the gameplay shown is only in Philly. Madden 19 looks on par here imo bc of the shadows going more from end zone to end zone. Its when the sun is cast more to the side in certain stadiums like Raymond James Stadium where the 1pm lighting does not look right.

I played a 1pm game in Cleveland and thought it was midnight. It was SO dark at one end of the stadium where the shadows were that it was tough to see anything. How have the devs not acknowledged this issue at all?

This seems more like an HDR issue. Sliders could solve this issue

I too happened to play a 1pm (clear) game in Cleveland yesterday but it actually looked fine. Are you on an HDR tv?

There is certainly something wrong with the lighting this year and maybe its magnified on non-hdr tvs.

My opinion is that the lighting issue or dimming issue is a glitch that happens a second or two when you start up the game (Antonio Brown cover screen). If you notice that opening screen is at first vibrant and then it immediately dims. The entire game has the dimming effect as a result.

When I played my first game a week and half ago (Jets vs. Chargers 1pm game) I initially thought it was a cloud cover effect. Then I played another game in Miami making sure the weather was clear at 1pm and still the same result. It was very annoying and I stopped playing until I could figure out the issue (tv settings also this thread). Then I started my XBox1 copy up today and noticed the screen was bright for a second and then clicked to a dimmer picture. Once that happened I noticed the menus also looked darker and convinced this a glitch that happens right at the onset of the game.


My ask to EA is that they fix this issue because it takes away from the gameplay experience and to be honest I have no desire to play the game until it is resolved.

Thanks everyone for letting me sound off. It's great to see the passion by the community on this issue.
