punt or kick returns? Anyone?

[footballdude1971]

Has anyone returned a punt of kick to the house? I've played about 10 games online and a handful offline and haven't seen one get even close....starting to worry.

I've brought a few kickoffs back.

Punts are a completely different story.

I returned a kickoff and punt on All-American with Jeremy Kerley of TCU. Only one of each though. Its tough to do.

I have been averaging about 7 yards as well. I finally broke off a punt retun for a TD with Travis Benjamin against Pitt. He of course then got hurt with the other 19 players on my team. The best thing I've found so far is to do an all out block. More blocking players have to stay home which provides more space to return the punt.

I have used this strategy for years and always found that I get more return yards using all out punt block than with punt return.

I returned a punt in the demo with Miami, and returned a kickoff with Michigan in the retail. In 10, that's how I would get most of my points was returns. Glad the game fixed it this year.

I have returned a kickoff and have come close on a couple of punts. I have no problem with this, it should not be easy to return kicks and punts. Last year there were only 8 players that returned more than one punt for a touchdown with the most being 3 returned, there were 52 players that at least had one punt return for TD, but in perspective that is less than half the returners in college football when you factor in that most teams have two returners. The statistics hold true for kick returns as well.

I returned 2 Kickoffs for TD, one with Texas and another in my LSU dynasty with Russell Shepard. I came close to a punt return once with Patrick Peterson

I returned a kickoff in the demo with Miami, but no where close in the retail version. My biggest return may have been 35 yards or so.

The 7 yard average on punts seems to be about right. My punt return teams pretty much refuse to block.

I barely get past the 25 on kick offs, but I am playing with Akron on AA.

I did return a punt but it got called back for holding, always does. damnit...

I returned a punt for a TD yesterday, but it was called back for holding.

Re: punt or kick returns? Anyone?

Odd. I have more trouble brining back kick offs but Ive done fine with punts.

Re: punt or kick returns? Anyone?

Can't get anywhere with either of them. The thing that troubles me is not that it's hard - it should be - but that I have yet to have a return where I even see a lane open up. I could understand if occasionally I saw daylight but got shoestring tackled or something. But so far it's like I'm running straight at a wall of unblocked defenders, with my own guys filling in the gaps just to ensure that I have nowhere to go.

Played 13 games and returned one kickoff for a TD. No punts though. This area seems fine to me though.
