I've taken 1 back for a touchdown with Virginia Tech. The best way to get more yards for me is to not sprint right away until I see a hole then hit it with a sprint and hopefully get more yards. Hope that helps

I've returned 2 for TDs in about 10 games. My main strategy is to take it up the middle, but if my team builds a solid wall on the outside I'll try and make one good cut out and accelerate towards the end zone. Not much help, I know, but it's all I got. Good luck!

I too have had much more luck returning up the middle and just looking for a hole if there is one. I've had a couple of returns in the 35-45 range, and returned 1 for TD, but definitely not as easy as it was to do last year. I like it that way

My friend has scored 2 TD's in four games. Probably is that is the only way he can score or by defense. Really can't score with offense. That is a different story, but myself no I haven't broke more than 30 yards, but I am using Kansas and red shirted my fast people so don't really have speed there this year.

I've returned a few for TD's, I always go to the outside, haven't tried up the middle at all yet on '11

I haven't had much luck in the retail version. But returned at least one a game in the demo..

Just housed one with Dennis Rock of SMU against Rice. Could be that Rice sucks in this game, or could be that I just got great blocking. I normally just Forrest Gump it straight into the kick coverage but this time I made a nifty cut or two to get outside and won the footrace to the endzone.

Rock has 91 SPD, 92 AGI, and 90 ACC. Pretty modest for a return man.

No TD's but I have taken 2 for over 75 yards in 4 games. One by going outside and the other going up the middle. The CPU hasn't done much for returns on me though.

Yeah. I took one to the house on the opening kickoff of the second game that I played.

I returned one last night with Arkansas State vs Auburn, All-American:

I had just commented that I couldn't get one past the 20 since my guys were so slow

Re: Has anyone seen a kickoff returned for more then 30 yards?

The biggest advice I can give you, and this holds true on kick and punt returns as well as the running game, is follow the flow of your blockers and read where they are pushing guys out to. If you are able to do that, then you will definitely pick up some good yards. This year being able to follow and read your blockers seems more important than ever (and that is a good thing imo).

I returned the opening kickoff in the first game I played that wasn't RtG. I was on All-American and just ran up the sideline with the dude from OK State. Just wait for the openings to form and you should be able to gouge out a big one.

I have a hard time up the middle but anytime the cpu kicks to the outer hash marks I have a good chance of getting a good return playing with the Gators and having Chris Rainey return kicks (they gave him and Demps mega speed this year).

I took one back for a TD on Heisman last night. You're right though, it is extremely tough to get anything going for the most part.
