Special Teams

[TyShawn]

With all the great hype around this years NCAA game, one thing that has bothered me over the last couple of games is the lack of punt and kick blocking. Has anyone asked the dev's if this has been addressed this year?

Has anyone heard anything on this topic?

No idea, but I did manage to block my first ever punt in the demo in the many years I have played NCAA Football so hopefully it's better.

i blocked a punt as well, and i heard someone say they blocked a punt by tackling the punter and another say they blocked a FG

I've blocked a FG. The special teams seems pretty solid all-around this year, I just hope it doesn't get too easy to block punts and FGs.

solid except for the fact that the cpu doesnt follow blockers on punts and on KR's they dont block at all

This is the problem in my eyes. I'd rather it never happen than see it happen every other punt/kick. When you think about the number of punts per game and per season, realistically how many are blocked? The programmers have a hard time making this realistic. Hard to code things out where it only happens once or twice a season.

???? Don't block on kick returns? How do you explain that in both games I've played with the demo (I only played two games the day it came out and haven't gotten back to it), I returned a kick-off for a touchdown? I thought the blocking was greatly improved.
