    Kick returns too easy after patch???

    I have played about 4 seasons worth of games and had only returned 1 kick for a td. Now after the patch I have returned 4 in 2 games. I am using the same sliders as before. User run block at 15 break tackle at 20 and CPU block shedding at 40. I think it is because they stopped including run block slider in the return game?

        I don't know... I've had 1 in 2 games since the patch, but I also had my first punt return for a TD ever in the same game. I was also using Felix Jones as the KR/PR so it wasn't terribly surprising when he ripped them off for TDs (even though the PR got called back on a stupid clipping penalty).

        I will need to play some more games before I can really say if they're any different, but they were a tad easy before the patch to begin with.

          i have yet to return a kick for a TD but the CPU has done one but not all the time. most i ever gotten was to the 36 yard line, had a game where i was winnin 17-17 just tied it with :45 seconds left in the game of course playin as my RAIDERS against Denver and they returned it for a TD 17-24. but 3-1 beat Giants Kansas City, and Houston. shocked to beat the Giants won that game 28-31 was a good game. but ever since the Denver game no one has returned a TD from a Kickoff.

                With desean Jackson, I returned 4 or something in one season before the patch. Every directional kick towards a sideline was pretty much a td return.

                  I have the run blocking slider at 15 and before the patch the majority of the blockers would do the "wiff block" animation which would make returns harder, I averaged about 27 yards per return, but now that madden has changed the slider to only affect offensive plays, the majority of my blockers are pancaking the opponents and making it easier to return.

                    My special teams are bad so against humans I usually kick out of bounds or squib. It seems like my players are running in sand and the opposing team has rocket packs on their cleats.

                      Hopefully in the next patch they can tone down blocking in kick returns.

                          They were too easy before the patch. All have to do is spine and or juke, and BOOM, you're in the endzone. It's no different post patch.

                            I have to agree that they are now too easy; I returned two in one game (turned out to help me win the AFC Championship, haha) and the computer returned one on me in the same game (back to back kick returns are hilariously awesome).
                            The Last of Us is the Citizen Kane of video-games. It is better than every game that has ever come before it, and is the new benchmark for all games to follow. It is nothing short of a work of art.

                              returned 2 KR and 1 PR for TDs in the same game with Welker....WAY worse after the patch....GOOD WORK!

                              Prior to the patch, KR/PR were fine for me. Got some here and there but nothing as far off as it seems now.
