Is HDR too dark again this year for madden? I remember last year it looked too dark so turned it off.

How is it this year? Specially asking for PS4 and Xbox one.

Much better this year. Skip the tunnel opening scene though.. games seem much brighter if I skip the intro cut scene.

Outdoor games in the sunlight look fabulous. I play with the falcons and often use their old school black uniforms, and man, do they look slick! The whites pop as well. It just really looks great in the sunlight.

In domes, there’s a little bit of a filter put on, I’d say. I think they’re trying to simulate the slight fullness of lights. I feel like this isn’t being done right, personally, but it is what it is. Again, the sunlight games look fabulous.

I’m playing on Xbox one X with a Samsung 8 series hdr10 and use the ‘game mode’ setting of the tv.

Night games look great.

But day games in some stadiums look dark. Like Rams home. And some shots on close ups look too dark.

I have for both PS4 and XB.

I turned off HDR and game looks beautiful. Lighting is perfect and no more darkness.

I think I’ll just leave it off for now.

I thought that it was my tv issue. It was very dark. I turned off hdr in my ps4 settings and it looks great. I have never had this issue with hdr until madden 20.

Looks way too dark for me. A 12PM clear game should not have nearly as many shadows as it does in this game. PS4 Pro with KS8000 TV, by the way.

I have to have specific settings for Madden for HDR to look right. The HDR makes outdoor daytime games look slightly ovetcasted. I had HDR off for awhile, but turned it back on. It's noticeably less bright than without HDR, but the metallic on the helmets and jersey numbers pop a lot better with the HDR.

This only happens with EA games for me and HDR. FIFA I get the same problem but not as bad.

Sony games like The Show and Spider-Man look amazing in HDR.
