I have NCAA for the 360 and I am not a huge college football fan, although I will catch a game if I am home.

Let me start by saying, I have NEVER seen a blocked extra point in any video game I have ever played. I know others have, but I haven't. I have played maybe a total of about 12 games on AA and I have seen about 6 blocked extra points and 2 or 3 field goals.

The very first one is because I got a perfect jump with the "jump feature", but every other one, I didn't even touch my controller.

I also heard that there was many wide open dropped passes in last years game and that it was addressed this year. From my experience so far, it has not been fixed. I have seen many dropped passes by both myself and the CPU.

Yes, there are a lot more blocked kicks in the college game than in the pro game. Your ratio sounds a bit high, but I've played probably 50 games and seen about 10-12 total blocks. That seems like a fairly good ratio to me and yours should balance itself out the more games you play.

I'm not experiencing anything close to the number of dropped passes this year as with previous years. Although, the momentum meter does have a huge effect on it and when the other team is full I usually drop some that I should catch.

I've been using FG Safe a lot hoping that this will prevent blocks. I've only blocked one extra point and one FG in about 20 games.

I think it's a little high. I've blocked 4 EPs and 1 FG through 13 games. The 1 FG is fine, but the 4 EPs is too much. I only blocked 1 punt, and I'm fine with that. I wouldn't want to see more than 4 blocked punts though.

I have only had the computer block 1 FG against me, and it was an EP.

It is a little high. The thing is there are some people who are really good at it and can block just about EVERY extra point and FG you kick which is stupid.

Yep, the game went a little overboard in the kick blocking as there are never this many in real life.

Part of the problem is that people try to use full power on EP when its not necessary. I hardly ever get kicks blocked, online or against the CPU because I kick the ball quickly....

Definitely too many.
