OFFICIAL THREAD: once and for all, please just make the play clock run when kicking

[meep316]

Seriously. I know you tried to nerf blocked kicks, but it STILL happens way too often online. Even when you mix up your timing, people are still getting an unrealistic head start because they know the kick is coming. How hard is it to just make it so the play clock keeps running? Why on earth does the play clock not just run in the first place? What purpose does it serve? Honestly. Please.

Best advice I can give you is get into a sim league that doesn't allow such things. There will always be cheesers/glitchers in pick-up online games.

Honestly I feel as if they fixed. No one has blocked my kick since then and I've only blocked one and the cpu did it and not me but it was called back for me being offsides.
I don't feel as it is still as big a issue.

I am in a sim franchise, and I have people on my friends list that I play with who play the right way, but when nobody's on, I have to play randoms. I go into the lobby and ask for a straight game and 90% of the time I'll get it, but people still do that. It's just mind boggling as to why they would ever even make the clock stop in the first place. It's incredibly stupid and serves literally no purpose other than to unfairly tip your opponent as to when you're snapping the ball.

I had two blocked yesterday. It's improved, but it's still broken. The solution is so simple, yet for some reason they didn't fix it.

maybe after it happens once or you notice a user doing it, try running a fake

Fake FGs are useless in this game, they get too much pressure quick.

[tfctillidie]

Can't you like hold the snap button or press X or something so that it delays the snap?

So you can mix up the timing?

[PatriotJames]

or if you put the arrow up in the air more? i know you wouldn't be able to hit a long FG this way but maybe it could avoid the block?
