Tele camera shows washed-out grass colors compared to Legacy and Tactical (PS5)

Question

I’ve noticed a clear visual issue with grass rendering when using the Tele camera on PS5.
The grass appears faded, flat, and lacking color contrast, especially in the upper part of the screen during matches.
This happens under different match conditions — sunny, cloudy, or night settings — and becomes even more noticeable when comparing directly with other camera presets like Legacy or Tactical, which display much more natural and vibrant grass tones.

I tested this on multiple stadiums and confirmed that EA Sports FC 25 did not have this issue — grass color and pattern consistency were fine across all camera angles in that version.

It seems like something in the Tele camera rendering or color mapping might be off in FC 26.

Would appreciate if the dev or QA team could take a look at this.
Thanks!

Just wanted to ask if anyone else noticed the same issue on PS5 or other platforms?The difference between Tele and Tactical/Legacy cameras is really noticeable, especially at night matches.

I’ve also tested this in RUSH mode, and interestingly — everything looks completely normal there.
Grass colors and contrast are fine, so it seems this issue only affects the main 11v11 modes when using the Tele camera.

It really feels like something in the lighting or rendering setup for that camera got tweaked in FC 26.

I’m just wondering — will anyone from the team actually take a look into this? It’s a pretty visible issue during regular gameplay, especially compared to how clean it looked in FC 25.
