Blocked. Kicks.

[itsmb8]

Just starting this thread to gather others thoughts. I've played upwards of 5-8 games so far (ik, not a super sample size) but i've had 3-5 blocked kicks against me and I havent even gotten close to blocking a CPU kick. This past game i had a 58 and a 54 yard kick blocked, the 58 yarder was a line drive, or was supposed to be, while the 54 yarder was normal height. I will say that im not really changing up the snap timing when kicking so maybe thats another reason why mine are getting blocked, but since ive started playing this game I have the feeling where I can go the entire year ONLY seeing the CPU block kicks. Anyone else feel the same? Or does anyone have tips on how to block kicks this year?

I've played around 30 games and I've blocked field goal and the cmp has blocked 2.

Also not sure what system u on but on ps4 holding the X button in after kicking helps.

As far as blocking u just have to time it just right I shoulda had few more blocks but I missed timed and have run into the kicker.

I've played like 6-7 games myself and haven't seen one from the cpu, and haven't blocked one myself either.

I use the Jets and suck though, so I don't give the cpu many opportunities at blocking one either lol

Using the Ravens, Justin Tucker has had two PATs blocked and one field goal.
(edit: help to point out I am in week 8)

I've come very close to blocking some field goals myself, even had a few where I had to go into replay because I thought it must have went right through my defender. Turns out his fingers were maybe an inch or two short.

Roughed quite a few kickers though :P

In the 10-12 games played so far, I've had my kicks blocked about 6-7 times...then returned for touchdowns! This is definitely something that needs to be fixed!

I haven't had a kick blocked yet, but surprisingly my team blocked a kick, with a guy that I was not even controlling. It was very cool.

Did he get the quick jump off the line and animation that goes with it or did he just go unblocked? Ive always wondered if the players I'm not controlling could jump the snap and block kicks on their own. As for the question, I've played about 10 games I've seen 1 block from the CPU and I haven't blocked one yet.

All i can remember is that I was controlling someone else and this other guy shot in off the edge and blocked the kick. Pretty sure he was unblocked.
