2nd Patch Kick Returns FAR too Easy

With all due respect (I bow to your sheer number of posts and experience on these boards) you must not be playing much against the computer offline. There is no question it is much easier now to return kickoffs for TD's even on all-Madden. And I'm not talking Devin Hester. I'm playing with the Bucs.

Have to chime in....

Played 4 games the other night POST PATCH and welker returned a kickoff in EVERY game. The 4th game he had 2 KR and 1PR for a TD.

So....There is certainly an issues indeed. Prior to the patch, he had 2 TOTAL returns going into week 15.

Yeah, I was actually doing practice mode KRs, 1 TD in like every 5 kickoffs.

I've had an easier time with returns since the patch. I don't mind it though, considering that with my sliders, the CPU team consistently gets 20 to 30 yard punt returns. My kick returns are usually 30 yards, but it's not rare for me to bust a 60-80 yard return. Beating the last man to the endzone is not guaranteed.

This was a problem before the patch!

Im hoping it is fixed with the second patch!

I dont know if this really fits in here, but since we're on the topic of special teams, does anyone else have a problem with the CPU shanking all of their punts? Id say it happens at about a 40% clip on my game, which is total garbage and as much, if not more, annoying than the big return issues

KR was broken after 1st patch

i never return a KR for TD... my 1st gfame with the 1st patch.. guess what.

hope they fix this.

I am seeing issues like most everyone else... I also have a unique set of sliders where my run block and cpu block shed are both very low

pre patch my low run block made it difficult to return because my blockers would whiff on half their blocks

now Ian said that the patch removed the run blocking slider from effecting returns, and that is clearly true... but if they left the CPU block shed slider alone and it still effects returns, then that is absolutely ridiculous on their part and would explain my issues...

pre patch low run blocking made it harder and low cpu block shed made it easier... the result was a good, fair return game for me (averaged 1 return about every 15 games)

post patch my cpu block shed is still low, now that is the only thing that effects my return game, and suddenly i'm seeing everyone get blocked, and half the guys that get blocked are being thrown to the ground... the result, i'm averaging about 1.5 returns for TD's a game

if this is the case I am going to be incredibly pissed off... either remove all run game sliders from effecting returns or make them all effect returns... of course the simple solution would just to throw a simple set of sliders in the special teams section for blocking, but why do that when you can screw around w/ the game instead!
