A lot of Option Files contain the MLS. I'm at work so I haven't watched these to be sure but they should cover everything. PM me or quote me in a PES thread if you want more information and I can provide it. This is off topic for fifa.
One area I've seen where the PES goalkeeper animation can look poor is on penalties. Sometimes they seem to give and kind of slide along very unnaturally and awkwardly as if the animation is glitched. Probably something they'll patch at some point.
I see what you mean, but I've got PES2018 on the same TV, and although PES looks pretty good, Fifa looks a mile ahead.

I feel like the gamescom trailer made it look like there was a decent improvement in the models but that seems to not be the case. They don't look any better at all to me.

Why does he wear the mask!?
Ah, either way this HDR is too dark imo

The HDR is on my LG UJ634V TV, I can take pics comparing HDR on and off on that if you want, but it looks the same as the monitor when off
Yup, on my LG OLED it's the only game that's ever looked like this in HDR.

Permabanned.
it's just the same old FIFA to me but graphics do look improved.
i've just cancelled my pre order. not feeling it. will use that £50 towards Forza, South Park, or Destiny 2 next month instead.

I used to have HDR issues on my Samsung but got my TV set up better. Shortcut to sort out a dull HDR picture is to turn Dynamic Contrast on low. HDR generally isn't great in bright rooms as it will be slightly duller. Crank the backlight to max for HDR and when you watch standard content don't have the backlight too high, or HDR will always look relatively dull. Slightly upping the gamma and increasing the colour setting usually helps with HDR.

I usually have HDR Game mode on, Dynamic Contrast on Medium and Gamma at medium too, backlight at 100 as the TV isn't bright to begin with
All HDR Seems to do to the picture is dim the picture and drain the colour tbh
May be an OLED problem as OLED can't get as bright as standard LED. Try sticking the colour setting up at least. I use Dynamic contrast off as although it can make it brighter, it can take away the benefits of HDR, but I don't have the dullness issue.
Played enough of the demo now to decide this will be only the second FIFA in over 20 years I don't buy.
There are several gameplay areas where I think the gap between both games is as wide as it's been since the PS2 days, in PES' favour.
EA have done very well with Ultimate Team, Pro Clubs and the licensing because that's a trinity of factors which secures this series from ever being punished for it's quality at retail. I think its a shame because this is - once again - starting to feel like a series in real need of a refresh.

This is the only game I've had any HDR issues with and I've played > 20 HDR games. My TV is calibrated and looks fantastic for everything other than Fifa.

PES looks better to me, I frankly don't know how FIFA has stalled in the graphics department after switching to Frostbite.

Did they forget to pay their electricity bills at the Bernabeu?

Funny thing is that game looks more 'HDR' once you disable it in the PS4's settings! PES 2018 for me as Fifa seems too fast and arcadey, which is quite shocking as it used to be the other way around a few years ago.

Sorry fifa this year I'm going with pes. Enough of ps 2 like stadiums
Gotta say, I think the gameplay has gotten worse since switching from Ignite to Frostbite. I dont think the 20% improvement in visuals has been worth the switch.
Not sure when EA will ever feel the need to give the game a major overhaul ever again. They make so much money doing so little, its hardly worth the effort. Its not that dissimilar from Yukes and WWE.

Exactly how i feel, 18 does feel better just in the fact the terrible input lag from 17 has gone but thats it really, playing vs AI on Fifa has been stale and robotic for years now (im guessing dev resources are spent on FUT and online experinces)
Ive gone with PES this year.

Yes, PC.

Might try it on PC, scared it'll feel like a downgrade when I return to ps4 pro though aha, since I'll be getting it on there for clubs

You have to use the Video HDR settings in Fifa 18?

It's weird people are saying it's too dark with HDR, I played a match at La Bombonera and its was so bright and washed out it almost hurt my eyes. The bernabeu seemed fine though.

Can't even Google yourself?

What's with the attitude? I never heard of dreamteamfc.com so far, are they reliable with the games reports?

I use manual crossing and usually I cross pretty much parallel with the line, trying to cross in diagonal is pretty tricky, it's very sensitive and can end out of bounds. Diagonal crossing works better if you turn around before crossing.

I can't defend to save my life or in this case goals.
