    I've actually gotten an extra point blocked before online. The best advice I can give you is to time the snap. I usually use either the fastest guy on the edge that is closest to the holder or the guy next to him, sometimes I run back a bit, then run forward hoping to time the snap and I can sometimes avoid being blocked but it's rare

        I've blocked two punts. Got the videos somewhere. Not backed up in the end zone either. Just have to have a good acceleration guy and time the snap just right. Not easy but definitely possible.

            I got hella close on a punt before, like someone above said you need a good speed/accel guy. On kicks I think it's either amazing/luck timing or finding a good goaline play and timing an audible or getting some movement going at the time of the snap that gives you a random hole to run through. I've gotten some nice holes but I'm always surprised that I forget to react enough lol.

              Exactly. I'm usually so shocked that there is a hole that I don't have time to think.

                I can block kicks by coming off the right side. You have to anticipate the snap. I take the far right guy and move him a 1/2 yard toward center.

                Punts on the other hand, for some reason I can't get my guy to jump or dive. I don't know what's going on, but when I get close and press square or triangle he does nothing.

                  I think special teams plays are scripted and no matter what you do nothing will alter them. On a CPU punt, take one of your guys and without touching an offensive player, cross the line of scrimmage and stand right infront of the punter. When the ball is snapped, the ball will pass through you and the punter will catch and kick the football, with his leg and ball passing right through you as if you were never there.

                      I've wondered that myself. The long snapper has been driven into my kicker, on numerous occasions, and the ball always goes through the back of my player and doesn't alter the kick at all. Also, I never use max protect on punt block attempts, even when backed up to my own 1 yard line. My punter always gets the kick off in time and the free gunners prevent a crazy return. I have never block a punt or kick in NCAA and I have never had a punt or kicked blocked either. A few years ago, I blocked a PAT in Madden once, but that has been it.

                            I user blocked one in OT to win the game with my LB. It was sick. The LS just went and blocked someone else and i went in free and jumped and took it to the house. One of my greater accomplishments in NCAA history.
