I know with MLB the show the only way to combat the poor frame rate in cutscenes was to change your console's output to 720p. Does that work?

Search for my post in a separate thread (don't recall now) where I provide some tips to improve frame rate. These include changing your TV settings for sharpness (reduction), brightness, contrast, etc. Alternatively, if frame rate s still a concern after the above changes, set your TV to game mode. The picture quality might take a hit in this mode but depends on TV. You may also reduce anti-aliasing if available for modification since these additional features tax the processing power of the TV but don't offer dramatic picture improvement when enabled. Finally, also mess around with the Ps4s picture settings like deep color, resolution, etc.

I was bumming around YouTube the other day and stumbled upon some Live 18 videos from a couple of months back. Man, I want THAT GAME back! Mid-range and 3-point shots were viable options for the CPU and felt like there was better flow to the game. I'm still enjoying Live 18, but it does get a little disheartening to see CPU players pass up open looks to put their heads down and drive to the basket.

I'd also like to see the contested shot adjusted - specifically in The One mode. I'll have what appears to be a wide-open look and then a CPU player will contest late (sometimes no hand goes up, they just move closer to me) and there goes the green release and 8/10 times I miss the shot and am downgraded for taking a contested shot. That's frustrating.

Jumped on this today and was facing a guy dribbling a lot . Stayed with him shuffled my feet and got a perfectly timed steal that led to a fast break. I was so excited lol. My defense was being rewarded .

Man I know my Rim Protector doesnt have handles but I get a rebound, take a single step, and I'm immediately thrown into a steal animation, lol

Does the cpu not look for 3 point shots ?

It's rare and I believe, tied into the contest shot logic. They'll pass up shots that might be contested, in favor of taking a contested layup, because that has a higher percentage chance of going in.

You have to really sag off and give up open looks to get them to shoot, which of course leads to a high make percentage and in The One, will get you downgraded for allowing a shot like that to be taken.
