Kickoff Rule Changes Will be in NCAA 13

Quote:

Next fall, teams will kick off at the 35-yard line instead of the 30. Also, touchbacks on free kicks will be moved to the 25-yard line instead of the 20 to encourage more touchbacks. Touchbacks on other plays (for example, punts that go into the end zone, or fumbles that go out of the end zone) will remain at the 20-yard line.

This rule is dumb as hell......They turning football into some watered down BS. Why NCAA ? Why NFL ? Why are they encouraging touchbacks....SMH, might as well play flag football if you don't want anybody to get hurt.

Oh well, going to hurt all the tracks stars who ONLY made the team for their speed. They aren't going to be needed since every kickoff going to go into the end zone now.

Though the number of touchbacks was in fact way up, there still were still plenty of kick return touchdowns in the NFL.

The clamor regarding the implementation of this rule is overstated.

This will make teams kneel it more since it is a extra 5 yards. Those extra 5 yards WILL make a difference next year

Yep......that is the biggest and most important difference. If you can get it at the 25 automatically, college coaches going to tell their players to take a knee in the end zone.

Im not going to lie. If Kick and Punt Returns arent improved in NCAA 13, I will just kneel the ball ALOT if there is a guaranteed 25 yard line.

This probably going to be a back of the box feature. We got the new kick off rule in the game guys.

"We didnt fix Returns but if you let go into into endzone, you will now go to the 25 yard line."

This discussion belongs in the college football forum. EA doesn't decide the rules implemented by the NCAA.
