NBA Live 18 Patch 1.04 Available Now, Patch Notes Included

[DBMcGee3]

I don't know anything about CPU vs CPU games, but when I play on All-Star or Superstar, the offense basically takes what I give them.  If I block their penetration, they kick the ball around and find open shots.  On Superstar, I find that they move the ball extremely well and end up with LOTS of good looks on the perimeter.

Got in about 20 minutes of a 5v5 scrimmage last night and it felt really smooth to me.  Looking forward to playing a full game later.

Like some others have said, if you stop the initial drive the computer doesn't really force the issue for me at least.

The one big difference I noticed is when the CPU gets an offensive rebound, they are kicking it back out rather than going up with the ball immediately every time. This part is night and day, I saw KAT kick the ball out numerous times in one half when he should have.

To all of you who feel the game is playing well with patch, are you using default sliders. I downloaded the most recent patch and played Pistons v Thunder. Im controlling the Pistons and the Thunder big 3 was basically pulling up for Guarded 3's. I do have adjusted sliders from one the sets in the slider board.

Still not seeing CPU subs when auto sub is off. Playing 10 min qtrs. This vid taken at halftime of a game I'm playing now OKC (me) and LAL (cpu). Notice the minutes. Am I the only one still not seeing subs by the CPU?

Just played a game and I don’t notice much difference other than the shot meter which is faster and overly sensitive. I fired up two quick shots when I was trying to pump fake. Not a fan of this change tbh.

One thing that still annoys me is how on a basic set my defensive matchups get confused and I will have a big guarding a small player. This happens too much. On fast breaks I understand but not basic half court sets. Your defensive assignment shouldn’t get messed up.

I've noticed that the guys will switch a lot on screens...there's a setting you can change under the coach settings in game, so hold down on the d-pad and then use RB or R1 to go over to coach settings and you can set the screen action behavior...this has helped me with some of those switches that I didn't want.

Definitely noticed more fouls both ways...and the passes being tipped and deflected more than the glue hands I was seeing...passes over the middle used to be grabbed instantly even one handed...but I'm seeing more stuff get deflected. Passes directly at or to a defender are still snagged like before but that is to be expected on bad passes.

EA Sports has released NBA Live 18 patch 1.04 on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Check out the patch notes below.

Addressed a crash in Pro-Am Tour that occurred during a conversation with the Goodman League Commissioner after winning the league tournament.
Addressed a crash when a player would get to Level 50 League Hype.
Addressed some player likeness issues.
Addressed an issue in which a user could turn off auto-subs and cause the CPU to stop making substitution.
Addressed some idle issues with some instance of dribbling and hands-up animations.
Made improvements to the look of a player’s first step out of triple threat
Improved responsiveness for pull up jumpers
Improved responsiveness when catching and shooting
Improved responsiveness on right stick shot contests.
Updated and Tuned dribble content
Improved overall online gameplay stability

This is not fixed (unless I had a fluke game). Is anyone else still seeing subs by CPU when Auto Subs is off for the user?

No,
No subs by cpu if subs are set to auto still exists even after the patch.
It happend to me.I played 2 games 12min q on superstar
The shot meter goes up a bit quicker now,we have to adjust our timing again.
The cpu double team more often when a certain player is scoring a lot.Also if a strong offensive Big scorer takes the ball in the paint cpu doubles often.(creates the opportunity to hit more open threes).
Blocks are toned down a little.
Cpu still drives but it's ok,they have to score somehow
They shot threes when they have the opportunity & they take a few more mid jumpers now.
The shot contest is better
Not very dramatic changes but overall the patch is defenately for the better i think.

That would make a hige difference to gameplay. Do other people see this happening also?

I played one game yesterday before the Indians Yankee game and I also noticed the same.

I see more cpu step back jumpers now. I still see too much of PGs in the post but I had a fun game this morning. I would like to see more pick and pop with stretch forwards. Never seem to see that.
