I need another round or two of games, however, I've noticed a seismic shift.
Before when the punt blocker apprehended the punter/got the block there was a pause in the event. Now from what I can see, at the collision the attacker propels, the screen jolts and the punt blocker gets shot out of a cannon. Scoop, explosion, touchdown.
This thing is bad because if you line up 7 blockers (counting the wings) if your front line fails you (the gunners) you're done. Initially, those 7 have nothing to do with tracking down a punt. However, after that they spin around in a pirouette as a second line of defense on the punt return. If you have all blockers the punt returner can mash through it as evidenced by the I-never-let up a punt return touchdown which just happened.
If you go all gunners then even with a 100 timing punter you're prone to the punt blocking glitch.
Either way, if it becomes prominent it can really F up critical playoff games rendering anything done in the Scout Def, Scout Off, Def, Off and Regular Depth and other Over-Rides outside the punt one......pointless, moot.....thus making playing the game pointless. :(
