    Are you guys seeing cross matching eg Kawhi guarding best perimeter player

    Im only playing quick games at the moment. I want to wait a bit before starting ML.

    But I have noticed that there isn't as much cross matching compared to what I saw last year. For example, if you put Lebron at PG, Parker will guard him and not Kawhi or Green.

    Does this happen in ML/MyCareer? maybe its connected to the upcoming ACE update?

    Based on the blogs written by OG and Czar, we should be seeing this. However, I haven't seen it from the CPU at all. There is a "matchups" glitch, so that could be a reason we aren't seeing this.

    Another big issue I am seeing from the CPU defense (besides the Otto Porter bug- which has been discussed extensively) is defenders leaving shooters to run off and double team. I play with the Warriors, and if I get hot with Durant, sometimes Stephs defender will leave him to double team, and vice versa.

    Hopefully these issues can be fixed in the first big ACE update or patch.

      Yes, Khawhi would guard John Wall at some point every game when I was testing the Spurs playbook...

        I'm on the Spurs in MyCareer, he guards the best 1-3 at some point almost every game. We played the Pelicans they even had him on Davis at one point.

          I played a Spurs user with ACE on. I got Darren Collison going and Kawhi was switched to him late in the game.

          The guy I played didn’t make the change it just happened.

            I've had Kawhi/Bowen switched on Curry

              I’ve had Kawhi on Center. Too many injured players.

                Just my input, played Cavs/Celtics as player-lock LeBron James. Kyrie from the get-go got hot on Isaiah (and Vice versa)... So they put me on him for 4 plays, I locked him for 1 of 4, then noticing it took everything I had they put Crowder on him for a few plays before switching IT back on him.

                I was pleased.

                  I saw some wacky stuff in MyLeague, Cavs (me) vs Bucks. This was the lineup for each position on the floor at one point in the 2nd quarter:

                  PG: Shumpert - Dellavedova
                  SG: Smith - Snell
                  SF: Korver - Middleton
                  PF: Crowder - Teletovic
                  C: Love - Monroe

                  For some reason, the Bucks put Monroe on Korver, Teletovic on Love, and Middleton on Crowder. And not just for one or two possessions. This was for the entirety of the time these lineups were on the floor together.

                  I also had one point in the 4th where I put Calderon in at point, and ACE had him defending Greg Monroe, while Love (playing center) was on Teletovic (PF). I think maybe Kevin Love at center is confusing the engine. Has anyone seen anything like this?

                    Probably the matchup glitch that happens after breaks during the game. You have to adjust the matchups yourself in the pause menu.

                        Still kind of sucks that Kawhi’s defensive stopper gold won’t affect point guards.

                          I haven't seen this much. I have seen a defensive assignment switch once a player gets hot, but that's about it. Something is a bit off about the resistance provided with on the ball defense to me though; in many cases, superior on the ball defenders feel easier to get by than other guys, and it already feels generally too easy to just run past the AI in a one on one situation without dribble moves. I'd like to feel the difference of having a lock-down defender guarding you more.

                            Is it possible that the AI won't cross match during Play Now games offline? I've been playing Play Now to test my roster edits, and I haven't seen one cross matchup yet, but people are saying they're seeing them in MyLeague and whatnot.

                              Funny I come across this thread as I just noticed today. I am a PG in mycareer for the clippers. Weve played the spurs twice now and either Kawhi or Danny Green guards me whenever theyre in the game
