Blocked kicks - too many?

[capa]

In 2015 there were 11 blocked punts and 24 blocked FGs for the year. These numbers out of over 500 games played. This year's Madden seems to overdo the blocks. I am seeing one every few games I play and sometimes multiple in one game.

Is this your experience too? Did they overdo this occurrence in your opinion?

I find them rare in my franchise and online so I would have to disagree

I'm lucky to get 1 per season in my offline franchises. And same for the CPU.

I think CPU gets to many but not user. In like 36 games or so of madden 17 I have blocked like 4 kicks and all punts no FG the CPU on the other hand has blocked like 4 fg and like 8 punts. So that is like 12 kicks in 36 games. So for me its like one block ever 9 games but for CPU its like one ever 3 games.

And for me I'd say it has been the exact opposite of above. Same rate - but more blocks for me. I actually have had to house rule blocking kicks b/c I felt like I was blocking too many.

So take that fwiw.

Re: Blocked kicks - too many?

I didn't block any, but the cpu blocked 3-4 against me in my first season in CFM. Definitely seems a little high. I wish there was more variety in the blocked FGs, seems like they all get taken back for TDs, when in real life a lot of those are tipped and go past the line of scrimmage

Re: Blocked kicks - too many?

In My 34 games played.
I have blocked 2 kicks and the cpu blocked 1 of my punts.

Re: Blocked kicks - too many?

I've played about 10 total games and haven't had one yet for either me or cpu. Haven't even had a kick or punt even close to being blocked by me or cpu.

Re: Blocked kicks - too many?

I guess I'm just really good with my timing the snap reflex because I usually get a blocked kick once a game.

It's has to tirigger animation for you to get in. There are more blocked kicks and fumbles on PS4. People don't realize there is a difference in gameplay. For instance Xbox one has too many face mask penalties. Some issues are platform pacific. So they try and patch it and now Xbox one has like no fumbles or block kicks.

Before the patch and a few tuners, I had 6. 2 blocked field goals and 1 blocked punt and 2 field goals and 1 punt for cpu. Since then, I there have had a one close call so I believe this has been tuned down.

And this is one thing I hate.

I hate that it's, in some ways - a scripted event.
I also don't like that the interior linemen/defenders don't try to jump up to get a hand on the ball as it sails overhead.

Re: Blocked kicks - too many?

I simulated 3 CFM seasons and the "Number of times blocked" in Season Punting stats is for all team always equal to 0; is it so only for me?

Re: Blocked kicks - too many?

I have yet to block one .. Although I have "triggered" the animation a few times in 2+ seasons of my cfm (just never timed it right or jumped late etc). CPU has probably blocked me 5 or 6 times in those seasons. However 3 times in the last 1.5 games (I'm at halftime and the Broncos blocked a field goal and blocked a punt they returned for a touchdown).

Overall it's nothing that's crazy usually

Re: Blocked kicks - too many?

I am on week 14 and I have 1 blocked punt and 2 blocked fgs. The cpu has only blocked one punt against me and 1 pat. I find that to be pretty realistic.
