Awareness and Blocked punts / FG in Madden 17

[Datninja619]

First off, I am dang near ecstatic that punts and field goals aren't automatic anymore. A game can actually be won or loss on special teams!!!

However, I've been seeing quite a bit of people having concerns with punt blocks and field goals being over powered.

Here's my take on that,
what if awareness factors in or even consistency?

That would actually give awareness more of a purpose when signing punters and kickers. Currently I'd draft a kicker that had 40 awareness and start him if his attributes were high. That 35 year old veteran might be worth signing, if I knew low awareness was more susceptible to blocks.

In one of the videos, a punt was blocked, because the punter botched the catch.

I love how play recognition is factoring in more on defense, as a means to keeping vets around, I just think the same could apply to the kicking game.

What do you think?
