What really bugs me about kick blocks is the animation. It's always just the holder taking too long to spin the laces out and there's just two seconds where you can see what's going to happen and can't do anything to stop the impending return touchdown

But you see for [insert incompetent dev] it was his baby!

My favorite thing is people who continued to actually tryhard to get a jump on fg blocks well after it was revealed that blocks are entirely rng

That playbook graphic actually is kind of hopeful for me. Getting ultimate team out of the way early seems to bode well for the rest of the items on that list. Also Ultimate team doesn't have an outsized piece compared to everything else.

I know I'm grasping at straws.

You mean the one that randomly just dicerolls and decides you got blocked
I guess? I mean it's a bit of an improvement over the previous versions that had kick attempts that literally couldn't be blocked. In my debug builds I'd turn off penalties, get guys to basically stand right near the kicker and have the ball hiked. I'd use my controller played to drill the gently caress out of the kicker, who would then have his leg warp through my player and my tackle to still make the kick. I really wish I had recorded it on my phone because it was always goddamned hilarious.

I honestly don't give a poo poo about kick blocks being dice rolls because the other option is having some nerdlinger find out the exact pixel to stand on to get one 80% of the time. idk how the math is actually done but if it's a higher percentage (while still relatively very low) for having better kick block people on your team then I'm fine with that.

They did reveal a few details about one of the changes they're making to franchise mode. I really hope it's not the only one. It's called player positional archetypes. Basically it lets you set player roles? I guess we'll see what the next few weeks bears out.

it says that every year for some reason and it never comes to pass.

people still mod madden 08 and mvp 05 for christ's sake, they only have to let one version hit PC for the modmakers to be set for years

Nice to see they are back to releasing Madden at the beginning of August instead of right before Labor Day. Makes the doldrums of the preseason go faster when you are using a bunch of scrubs in franchise mode that will be off the team by final cuts.

There is no kick block stat it's 100% random.

And no, its much better to have players actually have meaningful interaction with each other and the game, even if it means actual kick block jumping could in some way be optimized and exploited. Getting a block or being blocked because the game is about to go to two possessions late, and the game decides this is when Justin tucker will do the retard shuffle during a kick is loving stupid

Tldr devs are trash

I thought if you didn't throw the ball to him he didn't get drafted and you did.

It's been a while and apparently this story wasn't that memorable.

That may be a little bit dramatic. EA could never wage war. They would charge soldiers for their own bullets.

Or you could just subscribe to the EA Accessenwaffen and get access to unlimited pre-WW1 era guns and bullets or the occasional new wacky zeppelin that they figured out doesn't work 2 months ago.
