So we are 8 weeks into our online franchise and so far ive had 2 Fgs blocked, 1 xp & a punt.

I know we want realistic gameplay but this is a bit much. There needs to be a way to tone this down

Besides the blocks, how many fg's and XP have you missed?

niftyjets · 11-04-2016, 10:17 AM

I missed 1 field goal but that was my fault I hooked it. and I havent missed any xps

are you holding down the kick button before releasing your kick? after you press it for the accuracy, hold it down and wait a bit before releasing it. if not, the opponent can know when you are going to snap it. when I play my friends I have to tell them this or I block every kick.

NFL teams generally average 1 blocked field goal every other season, but there's generally one or two units that have 3-5 blocked each season.

Remember that the block plays are sell-outs. If you watch field goal plays, teams don't sell out for the block very often (in fact, generally less than once per game). If NFL teams did what Madden players did (run FG Block every attempt and ignore the threat of a fake), they'd probably get the kind of block numbers you're getting, but often get burned by fakes. Learn to run the fakes and force your opponent to be more conservative.

when u press the kick button for the final time (when the meter is coming back down) dont just tap it, hold it down. the ball wont be snapped until you let go.
