Sliders for blocked kicks

THIS.. I can always tell when they are going to block one of my kicks because of this goofy animation sequence.

The latest was a game that was tied in the 4th with like 3 mins left. Of course I was backed up deep and lost because of it. I get this happens in real life. But not nearly at the rate I see it happening in Madden. I guess the other option is to sim all kicks. But that's just a ridiculous fix. There is a giant list of issues with this game. But blocks are among the top. And knowing EA. It won't get addressed until 2025. In which they just remove the feature and bring it back in 2027 as new.

On the one hand, it's scripted as you feel your kicker hesitate before attempting the kick. On the other hand, if you kick perfect, or even near perfect inside your accuracy mark, you should not experience a block sequence. I know of no slider to prevent this from triggering. Practice my friend and good luck.

However, I do see this all the time against the CPU. Players I do not control (Coach mode, CPU vs CPU, or even linemen I am not controlling) will block kicks which leads me to believe it is "scripted" or based on a dice roll that occurs all too frequently.

I think I get an XP blocked on average every second game, field goals probably 1 in every 4 attempts.

It’s ridiculous and cost me three games directly. If it happened once a season I’d actually like it, but when you know it’s a pretty good chance of happening every single play the fun goes away.
