I think VC should fix this in ESPN 2K5. I was playing my Best Friend last night (He was the Eagles and I was the Broncos) and he returned 2 and I returned 3 kickoffs for TDs. I even returned a punt for a TD in the same game. If we didn't run so many kicks back it would've been a low scoring game.
I don't think the special team players should be rated high but at least high enough they don't get blocked forever. I don't want to sub in better players all the time.
Another thing against the CPU the CPU kicker always runs my returner down but when it's my turn my kicker is blocked
