ALMOST SOLVED! Brightness/Contrast Bug : Brightness drops after a set piece/goal

Product: EA SPORTS FC 24
Platform:PlayStation 5
Please specify your platform model. Sony PlayStation 5

Which mode has this happened in? Kick off
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Whenever there is a set piece in the game (free kick, corner, throw in, penalty) and is followed by a cutscene or whenever a goal is scored, the brightness of the game drops significantly and everything becomes too dark. The only way to solve this is to press the options button, open the menu and then resume game. The issue with this solution is that whenever a new set piece or a goal occurs then the brightness drops again. It happens in 100% of situations and 100% of matches! This requires a hotfix ASAP.
What happens when the bug occurs? Brightness drops significantly and everything becomes too dark. It appears that there are distinct lighting presets in the game: one for cutscenes, one for gameplay, and one for close-ups during throw-ins, goal kicks, etc. The lighting preset for cutscenes and similar events used to be consistently darker. However, after Title Update 3, this lighting preset no longer reverts to normal after a cutscene or throw-in; instead, it remains darker. This becomes noticeable on the pitch, affecting the overall darkness of the gameplay, especially the shadows during daytime.
What should be happening instead? The brightness should be at normal levels all the time.

The first photo is from Santiago Bernabeu Winter 3:30 PM Partly Clear and it is how the match started. The second photo is from the same stadium again after I pressed the options button and then resumed the match. The brightness completely bugged out. 

It is worse in some stadiums than others but the bug is always there no matter what.

It happens in every mode, UT, Kick Off, Career Mode. 

Edit : Title Update 11 finally fixed the biggest problem with this bug on next gen after 5 months, although it still happens in Santiago Bernabeu with Partly Clear weather and there are still small brightness fluctuations as you play the game. There still needs work to be done for this to be fixed 100%. We are almost there with the latest update.
