The HDR in NHL 22 makes the game look dull and lacks brightness. I used auto hdr for NHL 21 on Series X and everything was very vibrant and bright. The ice was white in 21, but the hdr in 22 makes the ice look grey. I'd like there to be a hdr brightness setting included in the game menus since this is the only game I own where the colors with hdr look dull and there's currently no way to adjust them.

    Xbox X series. I had to disable HDR10 on my XBIX. That solved it.

    Turn off HDR10, and that solves the darkness.

    @walts44 The issue is that there shouldn't be darkness with HDR. Turning off HDR shouldn't be a solution. You should post your TV so EA has more information to look into this issue.

    ^^^^Exactly this. I don’t do this with other games. I want the game to look good in HDR mode as the colors pop. It clearly does and is bright in the offensive zone until you enter the other 2 zones.

    This exact same thing happened last year with me on my Oled without HDR and then it was fixed somehow later on.

    Please everyone report so we can get this fixed asap.

    The display appears dark throughout the game play experience. Did not occur with NHL 21 on the same console. Only appears to be in effect when HDR is on. Ice is greyed out and it looks like there is a power outage in the arena

    • This also is the same for Ones and Threes

    Same issue here on PS5. LG Tv not OLED.

    Game looks bright at drop of puck then quickly fades to a dull gray after the play moves to new zone. Very distracting.
