You have to realize that Korra was the complete opposite of Aang. Where Aang was highly spiritual due to his Air Nomad upbringing, Korra has little to no grasp of the spiritual side of bending, excelling instead in the physical aspect. This might be the reason that while the Avatar state kicked in a lot during the times Aang was in peril, it would not activate due to Korra's lack of "spiritual connection", as it were.
