Dynamic lighting progressive lighting

Hey EA sports, I found your issues with the so called plagued progressive lighting, works fine as long as you keep the original rosters and don’t change a thing in both exhibition and franchise games and online etc. etc. 

Now if you release or trade any rookie on any of the teams it disables the function I’ve done it a million times to confirm this, why does it do it? I don’t  know but that’s up for EA programmers and developers to figure out, every year this is a very bad miss on EAs part, now that you have been made aware of the issue fix it for the people, they spend a ton of money on your title every year and you can’t fix the one bug that has been there ever since the next gen consoles have released, works flawlessly in ncaa 26 but I’m assuming because you can’t move players around..    Maybe it’s time for someone else to make football games and take it from EA all together 

THANKS,

  • So basically it only works in quick play? I have yet to see it in any of the modes!

  • Works fine as long as you keep the original rosters? It doesn’t work at all for 1pm games and for me it periodically works on its own for the 4:15 games but half the time you have to super sim a play right before the end of the quarter to make it work and you have to play long quarters too. What are the actual specs you are using without super simming to have the lighting consistently change on its own? 

  • 60 fps . I played a full franchise 10 min quarter with accelerated clock and never saw it. Guess I’ll try no accelerated clock. I’m hearing that could be a contributing factor 🤷🏾‍♂️

    Like I said before it only works in the late games not the 1pm games (for those shadows are static) but if you do full 15 minutes even with accelerated clock it works. The catch is you need to use super sim for one play right at the end of the 2nd and 3rd quarters to see it activate.  I’m on PS5 but I assume it’s the same trick for Xbox and PC. Just stupid that you have to do it that way and that the devs can’t be bothered to make an update to something so simple.

    Hopefully a patch will fix this. I also noticed that if you change a uniform on the start screen it will go back to default  uniform after half time when the lighting changes. I play on 15 minute quarter with accelerated clock set to 15. I. will post this in the bug forum with screen shots and hopefully it will get patch. Sucks one of the reasons I brought the game and for dynamic lighting not to work properly.  

  • Jada-haven’t had that uniform bug happen yet on my PS5. What system are you on? I’ve also posted about the broadcast camera. In Madden 25 the broadcast camera for all the teams faced the right way. Now for 7 teams-you can see my other posts on this, it’s flipped-Meaning the midfield logo is upside down bc the view of the broadcast camera is from the opposite side of the field. 
    One step forward and 2 or 3 back with EA every year with this game. Explain why they would screw with the camera view when it was working? Not like they added new stadiums for the 7 teams this affects. It’s an immersion thing not a gameplay thing but it’s another easy fix that lacks any type of quality control.
