It's definitely not my tv.  I changed all brightness and color settings on my TV and the ice is still grey and recalibrated HDR on the Xbox menu. On NHL 21 with Xbox's Auto HDR the ice was white , but now in NHL 22 it's grey with the ingame HDR enabled with the same TV settings. I turned the HDR off in my system settings and the ice was bright white in NHL 22. I shouldn't need to turn off HDR only for this game. The game really needs a HDR nit adjustment setting in the game.

    Had the same issue with NHL 21...and NHL 20 and this was without HDR mode.

    It's a bug in the game and needs to be fixed. 

    Yes, I have an OLED, but the problem ONLY happens when you enter the neutral zone or are in the defensive zone. When you are at the top of the screen in the offensive zone, the game looks beautiful and there is no dimming at all.

    And for whatever reason, the problem is magically fixed months after the game releases, but then starts up again when the next NHL game in the series releases.

        System: PS5(also happenes on Xbox Series X)

        TV: OLED CX and OLED E8 HDR Game Mode
        The game dims when you enter the neutral zone and in the defensive zone when playing games in the NHL arenas, but when in the offensive zone, the game brightens up and stays bright. *This appears to not be an ABL issue*
