[ajimithing]

Never have seen this in Madden before but in my first game I played last night I blocked a short field goal attempt. Now hopefully the don't overdue it.

You got video? Not saying I don't believe you, but I haven't been able to do it (legally) in my many years of Madden gaming. I wanna see...

I've already played an entire season and I only blocked two kicks...which is pretty awesome.

Played maybe 10 games with various settings and game speeds. Saw a blocked FG on tweaked all madden with very slow and about 30 threshold. I was worried that it would only happen on the faster speeds. It was one of my DBs and he made a nice dive for it. Great to see this. Next will be big DL who get a paw on it. Shaun Rogers was a kick blocking monster. I would love to see Suh or Fairley be able to get a rip and paw at a FG

I've been able to block 1 vs. the CPU, coming off the right edge and diving at the ball.

I did block 1 vs a local human opponent, and we were *extremely* close on many others. Several times we were there WAY early and just accidentally ran past w/o blocking it.

When both players can see the kicking power meter... it's WAY too easy to time the block *perfectly*. We were trying to kick as fast as possible, not letting the meter go more then 1/4 of the way up, various tactics, didn't matter. With only a little practice, local head-to-head games could potentially have LOTS of blocked kicks.

Re: Blocked kick!?!? FINALLY

Anyone see the AI block a human kick?

What about blocked punts?

I haven't got the retail version yet, but in one of my first games in the demo the AI blocked a potential gamewinning kick against me.

I've been pretty close myself to block punts, and I haven't tried very hard, so my guess is, that it's very doable.

Re: Blocked kick!?!? FINALLY

I just blocked the first FG attempted against me. A really short one, like 25 yards

Re: Blocked kick!?!? FINALLY

Has anyone seen a blocked kick by the inside rushers? It would be pretty cool if the farther out you went on a FG, the lower your kick sailed making it easier to block by the inside rushers.

Re: Blocked kick!?!? FINALLY

my team blocked a kick in my first "play now" game. longish field goal at the end of the 1st half.
