Videos Showing Why Blocking FG's Is Nearly Impossible

[canes21]

I have not blocked a FG in NCAA since 07 when the jump the snap worked a little too well. Since then I have tried and tried and tried, yet nothing has worked. So after getting some great jumps this year and still failing, I looked into it a little bit and finally realized the problem. Suction blocking may be removed now in the passing and running game, but when it comes to special teams, its still there and its terrible.

You can get a good jump and get within diving distance of the kick, but usually a blocker will slide over to block you. Its the games way of limiting your success by a great percentage. I went into practice mode and tried at least 50 times to block a FG using multiple players and failed every single time except once or twice when I was clearly offsides. Below is some videos showing the game cheat. Each video is from a different play.

I will probably do some punt videos later to see where the problem is there.

I've blocked at least one each of the past few NCAA's, including this year already

Punts on the other hand are pretty much impossible.

I can't get the embeds to work. Does Photobucket not work well with OS?

i dunno, but the video quality on PB isnt good. I just upload them to youtube

I've blocked one XP and should've blocked two punts, but went spazzo on the controller as I got so close I missed it. Ha!

It can be done. Oh, and suction blocking does exist on kicks. No doubt.

i actually blocked one last year, and although i have yet to this year, it looks to me like this year, there's a better chance of blocking a kick.

i've been able to run right down the middle and squeak through on multiple occasions in '11.

They're uploaded to youtube. They'll need to process and the quality should get better as the day goes on. I think a few hours after they're uploaded they reach their full quality. I filmed them on a cell phone, so they won't be the best quality, but it should be pretty decent still.

My main post has the link to my channel that has all 8 videos.

I think punts and kicks should be blocked much more often in this game, and you shouldn't have to line up at the end and time the snap count right. Players should occasionally come right through the middle and block it. Blocks happen fairly often in college football, and they have never found a way to accurately put this in an ncaa game.
