Hey guys,

I just wanted to see how many of you have had successful blocked kicks and how you were able to do it. I have played in 15 or so games and haven't even come close to blocking anything. Punts are the same. I have had 2 punts, 3 FG and an extra point blocked and want to return the favor.

My results have been more or less the same. I've only gotten in close one time and it was on a punt but I always forget to go for blocks on punts but I haven't even gotten in one time on a XP or FG.

The CPU had no problem practically intercepting my snap on a 27-yard FG attempt that would have iced the game with under a minute to go in the 4th. Still won, but it felt like that auto-correct cheese kicking in.

Have you tried the tutorial? Not that it guarantees anything (I did it and haven't blocked anything yet), but you'll at least get to practice it a few times and work on some timing and angles to take.

Sometimes the game decides to give you a window to block it, sometimes it doesn't. The two times I was able to block a kick the kicker was iced.

I've come close twice in ~15 games. Had 1 kick blocked and 1 punt blocked.

I've got pretty good at blocking kicks.... Field goals anyway

It seems sometimes even if you time it right it doesn't give you the animation of going in for the block. I think that's a good thing though other wise anyone who practiced enough would block every kick

A big key in my success is the rumble feature in the controllers. Be ready with RT already almost pressed and as soon as you feel the the vibe click it..... The rusher is automatically controlled for a good distance of the jumped snap then you have to take over and dive for it
