I thought punt blocks were fixed........

Fix - 3. Mend or repair

I'll concede that my K was making punts. Despite that mistake; certain people were proclaiming, "Punt blocks are not an issue anymore."

I have to disagree. (Shrugs)

I think the big factor here is that you had your kicker in. He probably has really low punting stats.

Ummmmm. Didn't I say that my Kicker was punting?

Fixed means it isn't an issue anymore. Am I correct?

My Kicker's punting attributes are abysmal.

Idc. The issue was BLOCKING. That was supposedly fixed

You have a point. It was supposedly fixed which is why I rescinded the rule. We'll keep an eye on this and if it continues to be an issue, I'll put the punt block rule back in.

The Punt Blocking is fixed. In this special case the "punter" was the kicker with following punting skills: Strenght 27, Accuracy 10, Timing 15. The blocker was a WR with Speed 71 coming in from the wings.
Had you used a real punter with decent punting skills (timing > 75), there would've been no block. You might even use very fast players in the front 4 and nearly no block will happen

You might compare it with a QB with passing accuracy 15 and hitting nearly no target.

No punts blocked tonight while using a real punter. We'll still keep an eye on it, or more accurately, Seth is compiling data on it in Big Data.

Reminder: I am not trying to totally eliminate all punt blocks, just the exploit driven scenario that results in several blocks in 1 game.

From what I can see so far, the Washington situation was not exploit driven. I can't see every punt, I only noticed this case because 1 resulted in a TD so lmk if you see any in your games.

Exactly where do we draw the line on punt timing? I suppose I could sign a second Punter with 50 Punt Timing & then bring up the complaint again.....

You guys are aware that punt blocks using non-Punters happened in the last version. Right? I'm pretty sure punts were seldom blocked in v4.5, when everyone was using a Punter with 85 Punt Timing. Js

Question: Where do you draw the line for a decent QB?
Be realistic. Skills range from 0 to 100. 50 is the middle. Everything lower than that is getting worse, everything higher is getting better.
So I would say starting around 75 should be a good value.

Oh! So you want to draw the line at 75 Punt Timing! Got it! Thank you! I'll go sign one & stick him in my line up!

We'll go from there. Sound good?
