Has anyone blocked a punt or a FG? Is a patch needed?

[stevedrumsdw]

Can a dev comment about the possibility of slight adjustments to make punt blocks and FG blocks possible. It is too difficult, there needs to be bad snaps occasionally that lead to the timing of the punter or kicker being delayed. This inability to block punts amd FGs is a huge issue and quite the opposite of real college football.

I only blocked punts when the other team was inside their own 5. Did it a couple times.

FGs and EPs I blocked all the time. Just took the guy who stands back and tried to rush him through. He sometimes got through but most of the time, it was the NT that blocked it.

Havent had one in a long, long time.... I could do it in the genesis days though.

I haven't blocked a kick in any NCAA Football game yet. It would be nice if blocks happened more often, but not at an unrealistic rate. I would love to see those kicks that get tipped and roll down field.

Yeah thats the key here " unrealistic rate" I think what needs to happen is bad snaps about 5% of the time that cause delays. Something has to be done!!!!!!!!!

i've BLOCKED a punt once, unbelievably fast CB did it

i've tackled the punter a few times

i've blocked over 100 punts easily, in about 350 games in 09. You just have to time it right and be either the guy off the Edge out of punt block, or the 2nd guy in. On Heisman by the way

There's a video of one of them. I didn't tackle him really, but I sort of just ran into him when he was punting. Hopefully they fixed the bug you can see in the video where if the punting team recovers, they can't advance the ball because of the 4th down advancement rule that shouldn't have been applied to punts.

I dont have my FG block video anymore unfortunately because my old PS3 that it's on crashed, but I didn't actually block it...it seemed to hit this invisible wall above the guy who was trying to block it. The ball cleared him, but it just got right over where his head was and suddenly flew backwards...it was really weird. On the old gen on 08, it was painfully easy to block field goals. The only way to block punts I think was when they were in between the 40 and 50 and if you went into punt block they wouldn't max protect.
