Punt blocking cheese?

[amid]

To the Royal Order of the United Cheesedom,

I was playing someone who is a member of this forum (i will not name them and i will never place a post in this forum if i beat you, i may post if i lose to you) who substituted fast guys (Terry McDaniel fast) to the 2 guys who rush the punter in the block punt formation. He did block one punt and almost beat me because it. I had to change my punting strategy to avoid further punts from being blocked.

O great Grand Pooobah, can we get a ruling? Is substituting super fast legends in place of generic punt blockers cheese?

If you are not THE Grand Poobah, it would be good to get your opinion also.

thx!

I think thats a cheap way to get blocks, but cheese, no. Also anyone can block puts with generics you just have to know how to do it, but it gets boreing and people give you negitive feed back for blocking their punts.

Was he still able to block it if you kicked it straight down the middle? I thought you could get any punt off no matter who was coming at you if you kicked the punt normally, meaning you don't try to angle it towards the side. Can you confirm or deny your punting approach?

[Tuboware67]

No theres been plenty of people whove done that to me also. I consider it cheesy simple because they can do it every single punt if they are good at it. Reminds me of Madden when people do stuff like that.

it's happened to me. rarely tho. i've always wanted a choice to have a tight punt w/ both wide outs in to help out if i choose it or i can audible to it if i know someone is trying to block it.

[ElGreazy78]

Yes, it's unacceptable to not have a tight-punt play seeing as most people choose to punt block than to punt return.

i can neither confirm or deny (i would have to kill you if i told you) i could get the punt off, although with mcdaniel bearing down on you, it was close... it definitely changed the game (one blocked punt, no inside the 10 pin downs, dozens of return yardage). is your thought, no cheese?

if the consensus is no cheese - i've got sum substitutin' 2 do

it seems borderline cheese -

I think it could be considered cheese ONLY because the opponent is exploiting a glitch in the game (ie: no tight punt play). In real football, it's just great strategy.

[ToyDingo]

I see no cheese here. It would be cheese if they were able to do it on every single attempt you made to punt the ball. And I mean EVERY SINGLE ATTEMPT. I don't see anything wrong with pressuring the kicker.

I vote no cheese...

[brownster14]

i actually blocked a punt the other day for the 1st time w/ a generic player. thats the only way it will happen for me. if i have to resort to changing it up for that, then im better off not doing anything. but thats just me.

Kick it in the opposite direction of the manually controlled guy...problem solved

[magex2112]

It's not cheese, it's strategy. If you really think about it, the legends should be out there any way...

[BofaDeezNutts]

It is very lame to say the least. Only someone who sucks at everything else will try and "manually" block every punt or FG.

If they put a legend in there to manually control that is very lame.

BIG BOFFA has spoken!

Bofa, I am not sure how to tell you this, but i have been secretly looking to you very respectfully as the BIG CHEESE (if you know what I mean). If you say it's cheese, for me anyway, it's cheese.

I will not participate in non BIG BOFFA approved activity, because Boffa IS THE MAN!!! (just ask Phillip A. Bole... there is a play on words in there somewhere but it's just not coming to me... A Cole, A Dole, A Fole... i don't know...)

I will not put len barney and lott in as my kick rushers in my block punt formation per BIG CHEESE BOFFA.

so let it be written, so let it be done

when i lose, i don't want you to say i lost cheatin'

When someone is trying to block a punt you have to kick away from the user-controlled rusher, and punt it a little early. Just like in real life when a punt block is on and the announcer will say something to the effect that the P has to just focus on getting the kick off regardless of how short it ends up being.

[Reed#20]

I don't think it is cheese. But I do think it is annoying. And I do think it is VC's fault for at least not have Max Protect Punt formation in the game.
