I just want to know, has anyone ever blocked a kick? I haven't, and to be frank, I've never gotten anywhere close to blocking a field-goal before. Any tips/hints?

you really have to be lucky. you have to time it perfectly. guess when hell snap it. other wise there is no way you will block it. its not impossible i know it seems that way though

Sorry for bumping an old thread, but I've only managed to block a field goal twice. And I've never been able to block a punt. I've gotten so close, but blocking punts is just really hard.

know what you do turn off all the penalties then be4 they start the play run up to him and when they snap it just tackle the kicker

to block a field goal, take someone fast, and line them up at the back of the Nzone, and over left or right "depending on whatside they are. You sould then have a clear path to the kicker. then you have to time it just right and run as fast as possable so you reach the line as soon as the kick is snapped, then just jump and block it. ive done it a few times my friend is a pro at it

I've also found a new way to block kicks.

Take one of the guys on the ends and move him inward to the next guy until he pushes that guy inward a couple of steps. This usually causes some kind of glitch that slows the kicker down and if you're guy is fast enough, you can swoop around and block it.

Its possible. My dad did it once. I couldn't believe it!

I'm with da ankle breaker - you've just gotta get lucky

Blocking kicks is hard. Pick a fast corner and back up from the line outside the end. When the meter is filled, move diagonally towards the kicker and try to time it so you cross the line right when the ball is hiked. Then start jamming A and run right in front of the kicker. If you're lucky, he'll kick the ball into your head. If you rush too early and get offsides for an extra point, it doesn't matter, they always decline the penalty. Don't go offsides on a field goal though if they need less than 5 yards for the 1st down.

Blocking punts is way easier. Choose punt return formation and take the corner on the left side. Move him over to the middle of the line between the center and left guard and back him up about 5-10 yards. Then when the meter is filled run down towards the gap. Try and time crossing the line with the hike as above. Once it's hiked, jam A as fast as you can and run right at the punter. Right as he starts to kick it, hit jump. If you timed it right crossing the line, it is easy to make it in time and you can sometimes even get the punter to stop his kick and try to run to the side. I block about 1 in 5 punts now using this method, although more than once in a game is tough because the comupter seems to punt quicker after you do it once.

I've never blocked a kick, but I got really close once. I ended up roughing the kicker. lol

I blocked an extra point and two punts but I still can't block a field goal.
