Blocking Kicks

[gplummer317]

Has anyone ever blocked an extra point or field goal in any of the ncaa games. I never have. It seems like it is almost impossible.

Agreed. Nor have I come close.

Re: Blocking Kicks

Whenever EA first introduced "Jump the Snap" blocking kicks was pretty easy. And, as always, when they tried to fix it, they went to the other end of the spectrum and it's been that way since. I blocked one kick in last years game and that was it. You're better off selecting Dime 3-2-6 Cover 3 when the other team is kicking the field goal.

Yeah it's pretty much pointless. IIRC, it was very easy last year for the PS2. But this years version (on 360 at least) has been very difficult. I haven't come close either.

Nope. I think it is impossible. Remember back in PS2 days when they came out with block kicks?? Like on kick or punt formations n u would press triangle to bring u to the 3rd person mode?? Yea what happened to that? It was sssooooooo easy to block kicks on the PS2!!!!!!

Did u block the FG on dime 3-2-6 cover 3??

Re: Blocking Kicks

Kinda like returning punts this year... I understand turning down the cheese and such but it's like next to impossible to return a punt, let alone block a kick.

I have had teams punt from inside their one, use punt block and not even come close when trying my hardest. I don't know, but it sure SEEMS impossible.

Re: Blocking Kicks

that' one thing that has bugged me bout madden and ncaa. lack of any improvement to special teams. i think madden 04 returning kicks was fun especially punts it made that part of the team matter

Re: Blocking Kicks

I blocked an extra point the other night, but i have no idea how it happened, it was blocked by a cpu controlled player on my d. Cause the guy i was controlling got pancaked inside.. I doubt ill see a block again

Re: Blocking Kicks

Are you guys serious? Blocking kicks on last years game was way too easy. You would line up right beside the NT and then the gap would just open up and you come in and jump and actually catch it. On madden and ncaa my friends would even kick field goals unless they could put the kicking thing all the way up.

However, on this years game just use the guy on the outside and time it correctly and you can dive in and block it. Alot harder than last year though, but my friend has blocked 2 and barely missed on some.

Re: Blocking Kicks

Its all about timing. I guess i dont block the kicks but i tackle the qb. Granted its against users but i got a few this year and more than a few handfuls in last year. In extra points users dont line anything up so be the outside guy countto 4 and run...ull get a few offsides but the timing will come

Re: Blocking Kicks

In NCAA 08 (PS2) I'd block at least 1 per game. Got to be a joke.

Hahaha no I was just saying you'll get about as much penetration with 3 guys as you do with 11 in this game.

I agree for the most part. I could not return kicks or punts often at all until the last game I played. I returned one of each. It's tough!
