Punt Return for Touchdown????

[Senor Nascar]

Has anyone seen one yet? I have played about 20 games and still no punt or kickoff returns for touchdowns. I analyzed a very strange thing that happens on all punt returns. The linemen all jump at the same time as if to block the punt and then they all fall to the ground. It is almost as if it is a field goal block. I think this could be one of the reasons for this problem.
It definitely could be patched in my opinion.

This is an upgrade from a few years back, when you couldn't NOT return a punt or kickoff for TD, IMO.

I can't even gain a yard this year so no td's for me.

I think there is more possibility for a kickoff return even though I have not seen one yet. I am just wondering if anyone else has seen this weird punt block attempt by the linemen which causes them to fall down. Next time there is a punt in your game just take a look at the instant replay and check out the d-line.

Was playing one of the division II schools as Pitt(should really be New Hampshire), but Lewis ran a punt back on them.

I've had one of each and given up one to the cpu on Heisman on a PR. They aren't nearly as frequent as they were last year, which I actually like, but that's just me.

I got one last night playing as WV. It was one of those, make a guy miss, reverse field, break a couple of tackles and gone. Other than that though, very little success.

Re: Punt Return for Touchdown????

I can't get even a punt return of more than 20 yards. I spent a lot of time in practice mode, and watched a lot of replays to see where the issue was.
It seems the lineman always go for the block, specifically jumping(jumping too late, mind you) and at least half of them fall down, the rest are slow to get back into coverage from said jumping.
This leaves virtually no one in coverage for you, except for your gunners and maybe one other guy. At this point, it is nearly impossible to return punts for a TD. It shouldn't be easy to do it, but I should see variable return numbers as well. I'd like a good 40 yarder here and there.
Really one of the few spots the game suffers in IMO.

Re: Punt Return for Touchdown????

I returned 2 punts and 2 kicks for TDs. Got great blocking on the kicks, and had a little luck on the punts.

Zero for me, and i considered myself a good returner on past versions of the game. Kinda weird considering I returned my very first one on the demo.

Re: Punt Return for Touchdown????

I've returned four or five kickoffs but no punts. Longest PR is less than 20 yards probably.

I think the kick coverage team gets a little "boost" because my fastest returners are getting chased down by LB's and TE's and what not.

I haven't had one punt return TD nor a kick returned for 6 as well but yeah last year was ridiculous. I watched alot of CPU vs CPU in 10 and saw so many back to back returns in consecutive games it made me ill.
