Re: The CPU Constantly Stealing The Ball on the Pass & Run & Standing

Yeah if your a big guy and rush against defender and because they changed the game since September 2018 you will get you ball stolen easy. I was just still and cpu just crowed me and made me fumble my own dribble without running got stolen. They have punished my big tall to the point I hate it. EA took this game and patched it all the way to restrictions and game is not the same from before when released. It moves slow and flow is off. You lose the ball or trip or fall have no speed get low stamina all the time with 2 steps, miss layups dunks, over throw the the opening tip ball, sometimes no one jumps for the ball and animation has to restart for tip off. Get peer disconnect and just the slightest of touch from defender on you and you lost the ball. This game is bad use to be OK just needed some tuning but it got tuned in all the wrong places. I have three pointer that don't go in at level 25 but newbies can hit there's from afar. Game is wrong not the same. Almost giving up EA don't care just keep lowering price of game to get more low skilled players in that also don't know how to play in a team and pass the ball. The game is broken the community is not there. I'm just tired of trying to help here and not be taken seriously.

I feel your pain...

    Well I was constantly seeing this happen like all the time .. like 2K crap was doing this in 18 .. and the CPU was Stealing on the Pass and Run .. and Driving to the baseline .. and Rebounding .. that I finally stopped buying 2K .. so I got Live .. and it was quite refreshing from the Run of the Mill Cheating that 2K does .. but now Live is following the same Spectrum of 2K 18 .. like people in a real game don't even steal the ball like that .. Period .. like one person might steal the ball maybe 3 times in one game .. like the Big and Tall players hardly ever Steal Anything in a game .. like I see the CPU still Dominates the game .. like it's still Too Much CPU Influence behind the Madness .. like the CPU should be on one Format .. " Just Program To Play On One Strain " .. like No Manipulation .. No Favoritism ... and Definitely No Cheating .. Period !!.. but it seems that it has to Cheat because .. because it has to appeal to that particular team .. like if you play like a 5 on 5 .. or a Story Line .. One Person Player .. then you should play to the ability to perform the way any NBA game should play .. like I like the feel of the game .. like the movement is quite different .. but if you try to steal the ball .. it turns into a foul .. like I had turned down the CPU Skills and it continues to do the same thing .. just like 2K does .. like it just don't stop .. like it's Synchronized and Programmed to do so !!!

    I am forced to pass the ball holding r1 to a specific player because if I drive or backdown or get grappled by cpu in Live run its over, easy steal. I break my own ankles trying to side step. I'm level 25, 6' 10" 235 not 280 pounds 7' 2". I don't understand why my player has been diminished and punished. I was a great player in NBA Live 2018 now I'm just another awful player no matter of my ratings or settings or how I adapt to play better. I still will try because I like the crates and the clothes and shoes are nice, but I am not happy how the game plays you. Maybe I need to create a new player that's quicker smaller but I like being center...

    I just played a game like Now and the User CPU threw me the ball .. and before that I can bounce it .. " Stolen " .. right away .. like I threw a pass .. Again " Stolen " like I haven't seen this much Pathetic-ness since 2K .. and now this game Adopted this same lousy method .. like don't nobody steals the ball that fast .. and that quickly .. and randomly do " Constantly "  .. is one of the reasons why I just haven't put this game down .. and stop playing it .. like it drives me mad crazy for a game to cheat like that .. and like I said .. E.A. Sports games plays just like an Arcade Game .. because No Game should ever be " Playing like this ? .. like in real life .. the people in the NBA doesn't even steal the ball like this .. like this game Really Really Sucks !!!

    I was throwing a ball in bound behind the basket into the court to a live player in 3 vs 3 and it hits the backboard, I mean come on. This stealing gots to go all together. Go back to Live 2018 no cpu stole the ball. You have made a unrealistic animation triggered steal for everything. If you back down on offense you get stolen, if you pass on run you get stolen if player has anyone ever near them, if you try to do a quick drive stolen by even a center ai, if your dribble and get touched by ai stolen. This stealing has stolen the game from us, the players the ONE and only 1 that matters.

    We are the ones that have been supporting Electronic Arts since the dawn when Commodore PC had EA titles. Don't play us with a stealing animation for every thing because it's overkill. A steal once in a while yeah but I can't backdown, drive, post, dribble without getting a fine tuned steal from animation ai. Make this game more balanced. EA must care if they been in existence since 1980's...
