NBA Live more than likely has clipping too. For the record, I think most people consider NBA Live 18 a solid effort. I was planning on buying it myself, but then 2K Sports dropped the announcements about All-Time and Classic Teams which included the Pacers. Then I played the Prelude....Christ, this new motion engine is fire.

It's not much different from what Live fans put up with in the name of 'trusting the process'....but that's a Live forum discussion...

Clipping isn't why it's easier to drive on certain defenders. Its because they designed it that way to better reflect real life. You'll see more hip riding instead of the bumping like last year.

The better the defender the harder it is to drive. Trying driving on Kawhi, Kcp or DeMarre Carroll youll get bumped and cut off alot more.

What's good bro, I was trying to message u directly but my phone wouldn't give me the option to do it. I wanted to ask you if u could make a "OPPOSING CPU AI PROBLEMS" thread. I'm not yet allowed to make threads and it seems like nobody else gives a damn lol. The CPU NEVER shoots contested jumpers off the dribble, NEVER shoots jumpers from triple threat, NEVER just stop and pop when they get open off the dribble (they always float forward to a low percentage *** shot), and they will shoot that garbage floating 2 handed jumper on fastbreaks with only 1 man in front of them. It makes playing the CPU feel so trash smh and it's something Live does much better unfortunately.

A stickied thread could show devs exactly what needs to be done about these issues. Thanks in advance if you look out for me bro.

Re: The disturbing truth about why driving to the basket is so easy this year...

So far, I really like it. Last year I felt I needed a screen or spin move to beat perimeter D. Now I can call an iso, have one side of the court to just me and my defender. I still gotta have the right attributes and an okay matchup - speed/acceleration, handling, strength etc I'm not likely to pull this off with my 71 rated bench player. The other defenders see the iso play and react - they drop off their man slightly and collapse the defense. If I beat my defender, help defense will likely arrive and I get to make a decision - pull up in mid-range, floater, try to dunk/lay-up in traffic, find an open man, back out and reset. But I love that aspect of decision making.

I find middle pick and rolls less effective this year - last year I felt a really good chance of hitting the roll man and getting easy dunks. This year people hang back or help defenders contest, so there's a trade off. But I like it overall.

Could be, but I think it's a simple increase/decrease trigger action "cylinder", or body-up-whatever. It evident that arms/legs doesn't count anyway.

Maybe next year. Sometimes you see nice physics and sometimes you see the clipping.

This is just the way it works, I guess. I don't think they will rewrite their engine as long as they don't have any serious competition. I understand that they've sacrificed some "real physics" to make it more fun, and I'm ok with that. It's still just success/failure-driven animations. The core gameplay, while not necessarily that much better (they still haven't addressed its legacy issues), is MUCH more fun this year.
