One of the things that have bugged me the last few years in franchise mode is Madden's inability to understand the concept of time zones. For example, when you play a 4:15 EST game anywhere out west, the lighting is as if it's 4:15 local time. Has anyone seen if this has been fixed and will the lighting be more aligned to the actual local start time of 1:15?

This has bothered me for a while too. They need to adjust the lighting to reflect local time. I've played in way too many night games with my Niners.

Me 3. I know it is a nit picking thing but it hurts the immersion when you have a prime time game in November east of the Mississippi and the sun is still setting to make it feel like a preseason game.

Yeah one of my wishlist posts made a point to mention that the lighting differences between a September game (during daylight savings time to boot) and a late-December game are (no pun intended) night and day. Would really like to see some attention paid to this. Any news here? Any upgrades at all to lighting/weather or just same ol'?

I think they have improved the lighting but don't think they improved it like people would want in this thread. Weather is still the same as last year.
