No, but I noticed that the computer goes for it on ALOT of 4th downs! More than I have ever seen before, and guess what? they always get the 1st down?

They don't always get the 1st. West Virginia (CPU) did 2 fake punts against me last night, and they were both stuffed.

Definitely not true, you only remember the ones they make. But in my last game against UCF I was 2 for 3 on stopping them on 4th down. But 3 4th down attempts are a little much.

Re: 4TH DOWNS

Haven't succeeded in doing either, but I've come closer than ever.

It's tough; if EA doesn't make iron-clad punt or field gold protection, sooner or later someone will discover that one perfect play to always block the kick.

But on the flip side, it's annoying that you'll never see a blocked punt unless you have your opponent backed up in his own end zone.

Formation subs could maybe solve this dilemma. Put a few speedy players in the right spots...

Actually, here's a solution: Bad snaps.

A bad long snapper should occasionally snap the ball high or low, or maybe a bit to the left or right of the punter or pinner.

This would delay the kick a bit and give the defense an extra second and a chance -- and only a chance -- to block the kick.

I agree with that. This way it opens up the opportunity with out becoming money.

I should clarify...no fake punts just 4&4, 4&2 etc..and they just run a straight play and always get it.

Also I use the Akron Zips who are not exactly the class of Div I.
