Madden 18 Proof Blocked Kicks Are Scripted

Blocked kicks are no doubt scripted. It’s the most ea madden thing I’ve ever seen and it can cost you a game online. The kicker blatantly freezes for a second that’s so EA

You can actually FEEL when it's going to be blocked. Thank you for breaking it down at slower speeds because you can literally tell when it works and now I see why. WHY is this a thing??

[@wooooowwe1]

Bayta Librae I've done testing, if you can call it that, on animations in madden. For example when certain animations trigger attributes mean nothing. I've played against a 0 overall team, meaning zero speed and others. This block animation triggers and they have a speed boost to block the kick. Basically the 0 speed slider matters none. On all madden the QB is still pretty accurate too. The game is broken

[@NewNormalWorldOrder]

Bayta Librae Why is it a thing? Because they hire Asians who know nothing about American football to create a video game they went to school for 4 years to learn to make but still don’t know how to make. Mostly.

[@GammlerTV100]

So it’s a thing because in madden 17 when they added blocks they searched for a way to make a decent block animation. The slow kicker movement is a simulated fuck up by the kicker to make the game more fun. Madden would be faded if there was nothing by chance. I like it how it is

[@P_RoC45]

Bayta Librae you guys are all judging it wrong the other player has to TRIGGER the block by jumping the snap and even then it doesn’t mean the kicks gonna be blocked. How else can madden add the feature to the game it’s a fucking video game? The other player triggers the block by jumping the snap and even then with the mechanic the person going for the blocked kick still has to get the right angle and motion and not run into the kicker and even then sometimes the kick won’t be blocked y’all are a bunch of pussies making dumb ass assumptions acting like madden just decides when a kick gets blocked on its own. It’s not scripted whatsoever it’s a gameplay mechanic the other person triggers it then if they have the proper angle and press the block button at the right time then the kick gets blocked now if it’s against the cpu then it gets triggered from a RNG depending on the difficulty it has nothing to do with being scripted it’s not scripted at all. Smh 🤦‍♂️

[@devin6838]

Marc Seefeldt agreed

[@edank2472]

Until EA starts losing money they wont change a thing, great breakdown.

[@collintag73]

I honestly think the number of casual players far outweighs the more hardcore and sim style players so they either don't notice how bad Madden is or they just don't care. Those of us smart enough to see how bad Madden is and willing to stop buying it make up too small a percentage for EA to really be hurt by it monetarily. Heck, there are enough "hardcore" players that DEFEND Madden constantly so I don't think EA has to worry about losing money any time soon unfortunately.

[@CallMeMatt12]

It was the same thing with the aggressive catching, they would litterally move your defender or offensive receiver into position in order to do the animation. Its so stupid, you can play perfect defense but the game will slide your player into the spot it wants in order to do an animation.

[@macbookproearly2011]

I've been playing madden since 2002, you guys always find something to bitch about. I took a break on the next gen consoles and I feel like the games are way more balanced, nano blitz is checked out. at the higher competition levels this game is lit asf online.

Thanks!

[@jordansammons150]

Swagner 17 right, I'm like well fuck...

[@TheIpodMan32]

RyanMoody21 doesn’t that animation have to do with wether or not the opposing player (at least pvp not against cpu) presses the button at the perfect time? Like it changes the animation to the slower process but ONLY if the opposing player perfectly times the snap. Therefor it’s not really “scripted” in that sense? Against cpu of course no one else is pressing the button so it’s random selection like 99% of the processes in the game.

[@Trimmxthy]

Swagner 17 yeah same

[@nategreatgames78]

Scripted isn't the word I would use. I think it's more fair to say it's triggered. When the timing of hitting the jump the snap button is successful then the delay in animation is triggered to give the defender the high chance to get in there and make the block. That's the way they programmed the mechanic to make it work. As much as we would love Madden to be a living breathing simulation of football it's still a video game that is governed by systems within its program to make the game function. That's the way those guys came up with to make that mechanic work.

[@AngelNinjaaa0716]

Kaged Storm its not scripted, that means the other player or computer timed your kick count. You can hold the X/A button on the last press in the kicking motion to throw people off from guessing. There’s ways around it. It’s unblockable if you get a perfect too. Come on bro dont blame it on a “script”

[@brianmaduku2759]

Dear god i have been losing my mind over the blocked kick animation since they incorperated it back in madden 17. The kicking animation is delayed so the gunner has enough time to block it. This animation has cost me in crucial moments in games on numerous occasions. the game is too animation driven instead of physics and logic based. i think the beginning of the end of quality gaming without all the animations was when the made madden 16 and added the aggressive catch animation.

[@RyanMoody21]

A blocked kick that the kicker causes, ironic.

[@Mythikron]

I noticed this early on in M20 and it's also in M21. You can watch your kicker hesitate amd play a noticeably slower animation on every CPU block and nearly every player block, for both kicks and punts. You have very little to do with kick blocks, it all comes down to whether or not the game wants this particular kick to be blocked.

[@freighttrain7143]

Tell me if this sounds familiar: Late 4th quarter. You have a 4 point lead. Your team has 150 yards rushing, but if you run the ball, you will get stuffed for a loss, every time. Unless its REALLY late 4th quarter, in which case, running the ball = fumble. Your team has 350 yards passing and no turnovers, but if you throw it, it will be an interception or your receiver will drop it. Why does this happen? Because the game has 90% control over what happens, you have maybe 10%. And if the game wants something to happen, it happens. You are literally just a passenger when it decides it wants you to win, or lose, or turn the ball over to help the loss happen.

[@kingkairos2437]

RyanMoody21 I agree that the animation is bad, but you cant say it is scripted. If it were scripted it would not matter what either player does, however the defensive player dictates if a kick will be blocked by timing of the jump. In a somewhat recent update EA made it so that perfect kicks could not be blocked

[@SONICBOOM98]

Got EM Right lol

[@titusfuimaonoteo]

Got EM took you a long time to "be done". EA thanks you for your continued financial support throughout the years bahaha

[@x24videos]

Blocked kicks due to a kicker are because if that kickers awareness. What pretty much happens inside the code is when a situation like this initiated a random check is made like one would make in dungeons and dragons to determine if the kicker screws it up by being late. Blocked kicks when the kicker didn't screw up are possible in game. For instance if a user is controlling a d-lineman to block a kick and the awareness level meets the check and the user jumps at the right time, the kick will be blocked more often than not. These checks are why the ratings like spec catch, awareness, block schredding, etc are never max at 99. 99 doesn't mean perfect, it means 99 times out of 100 theoretically a check will be met with success.

[@BC-pe8ds]

[@youtubeuser8485]

Wish madden would get it together. I swear they are the cause of seasonal depression

[@sockcornnoodles]

They are scripted but, the animation is triggered by a perfectly timed user input.

[@KuroShiiiiro]

sockcornnoodles no because the CPU did it. back in the day it assisted you on the block but the timing of the block attempt and jump were all based on you.

[@sockcornnoodles]

It's Gohn! I’ve blocked several kicks. In the drills, it explains if you hit RT as the ball is hiked, it triggers the animation where the kicker slows down. I’m not saying it’s great. You’re not truly blocking the kick you’re hitting RT at the right time and Madden is giving you an animation. This was their solution to people just running in a circle presnap and getting through every time. There are ways to counter this. If you hold A on the third press, the kicker won’t move until you let go. It throws off the timing of the user hitting RT preventing a block animation being triggered.

[@RyanMoody21]

sockcornnoodles False. I just showed you how that's false. However like many Madden gamers you're desire to "good at Madden" overrides common sense. Nothing a defense does can impact a kicker standing still prior to the kick.

[@sockcornnoodles]

RyanMoody21 I hate this game with a passion. Only reason I suffer through it is for my league. I share your videos with them and we laugh at the things you point out. However, I know for a fact this animation is triggered by a well timed RT press by a user.

[@KidTonyGaming]

sockcornnoodles if it’s it’s a perfectly time user whatever, it shouldn’t delay the kicker. The kicker should go through this progression as normal. In NCAA 09 on the PS2 these animations weren’t tied together, if you got off the line fast enough and your player had enough speed to get around the corner you had a chance to block the kick, now all you have to do is press RT in a quick time situation to get a successful blocked kick. Where’s the user skill in that.

[@kayleeanderson1713]

Yeah I don't know why he kicks it fast every time but sometimes the kicker will just wait a moment then try to kick it like you can feel that it's gonna get blocked

One time I got blocked on a punt in OT to lose. Honestly the best thing they did in Madden this year was to set perfect kicks as unblockable. I mean something that should have been apart of the game from the beginning, sad this is the most innovative think they've done all year!

[@MrGibler43]

Sensei Jr. It’s bogus that you HAVE to kick it perfect in order for it not to get blocked. I personally never kick full power on kicks because of lag and I don’t wanna miss the accuracy on the way down. But they’re making it to where that’s the only way you have a chance of not getting your kick blocked. BS!

[@zedanide6984]

Also the locker just feels slower on the blocked kicks. The commentators always say it's because of the "low trajectory" but it's not. On a good kick the kicker takes like 2-3 steps. On a blocked kick he takes like 20 steps and stutters like he's JuJu

[@milesgoering1497]

four years later the only thing that’s changed is ryan’s intro

[@davidgrant1985]

It does that if you time the kicking meter...you must tap R2 on ps4 at the same time as the 2nd kicking meter is coming down...if you time snap correctly you can jump the line like in the video...but dont make it seems like you automatically block the kick cause you don't...I've missed plenty of them when I've jumped the line

[@manuelmolina1467]

BIG STEEL I was thinking the same thing. I thought it was common sense where if you push r2 at the right time it would slow the thing down so you can block it. Obviously not if people are this dumb

[@Beatztronics]

I like APF2k8 where the snaps very on the rating of the snapper. When was the last time you saw a kick or punt snap go over the head of the punter or kicker in Madden

[@Truebeautifulandbased]

I️ THOUGHT I️ WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO KNEW IT WAS SCRIPTED. THANK YOU

[@ktlewis02]

Stop. Buying. The slide is not subtle

[@PDzay]

And it’s even worse now LMAOOO

[@tylerlaurita9854]

So true. They happen too frequently. Tip in case you don't already know, if you play offense only, make sure you kick your own extra points. I had Robbie Gould and on sim he was missing 50% of his extra points, went through 2 other kickers and the same thing.

[@hunter371]

1:45 You're neglecting to notice that #88 on the far right of the O-Line is still in the crouch position in the blocked kick at this point, with the defender in running motion much closer to the line, compared to the good kick, with #88 was already in an upright defensive position and the defender much further off the line. I don't know how you didn't notice that.

[@avengerpat]

I was playing earlier, down by 5 with 20 seconds in the 4th, and got sacked by a 4 man rush 4 downs in a row from the same d end almost instantly, even with an extra blocked from a tight end and HB, guess that happens when the 80 overall jets play the 90something overall falcons to the wire huh?

[@globalsetdarkpool8276]

avengerpat Yes the game is rigged to favor winning teams. I miss the organic days man.

[@juliusbanks6936]

Maybe you should of chipped that guy with a tight end or running back?

[@avengerpat]

jets i know our o-line is trash but 4 consecutive sacks against a max protect audible? i dont think so

[@scorch7777777]

avengerpat or maybe your dumbass didn't notice that he changed his game plan to aggressive pass rush

[@eli_luvdembirds3673]

Go to coaching options & they can literally Custom the Defense to play more Aggressive or tweak the whole Defense or offense it's rigged but this plays a part , to make it seem like It's ur fault

[@teenaquarist7158]

Blocked kicks have to be scripted, it’s too rare of an event in real football for there to be skill added in the game. Also I wouldn’t call it scripting, more that in the game’s code it says that there’s a 1/50 chance of it happening or something like that.

[@joejones1991]

Teenaquarist 71 why does it always happen to me when i need it most then?

[@jimbob3767]

When you lose a game by a blocked kick so you have to blame the scripts.

[@RyanMoody21]

I won by over 20 points, try watching the video.

[@PNat_GAMING]

l l lol, when you lost a bet on the game and you call it a setup.

[@jimbob3767]

RyanMoody21 I wasn't talking about the current game, I was speaking in context. Thanks.

[@joosh9802]

l l ikr why is he so salty

[@misters8561]

Watching this in 2020, and the shit never got fixed. It might even be worse. Props to you Mr. Moody for having the stones to hold EA's feet to the fire.

[@stevemcintosh9381]

Here’s the thing tho. The way games work, it is probably already determined when you snap the ball, if not when you select the play. It’s a random chance based on whatever stats the devs had. Nothing that the kicker does “causes the kick to be blocked” the kick will be blocked, so that’s the animation that gets played. Let’s not forget that this is still a video game, and is a graphical representation of a programs output. The kicker moving backwards has no impact on the result of the kick. The result of the kick causes the kicker to move backwards. You have the cause-effect backwards

[@noahniederklein8081]

[@midassnap9028]

The good kick at 0:50 there is a little move back. The blocked kick the gunner got a good jump on the ball. The slide back happens on both but it's a little more pronounced on the second but only slightly. The bottom line is that without the good jump on the ball that block doesn't happen, good play by the D.

[@ChrisMansavage]

I work in the video gaming industry. It's not the "slide" that causes it. That's a glitch in the pivot of the animation when it transitions from idle to kicking. What you DO show in this video is that there is definitely a delay in the start time of the blocked kick animation. The kicker starts the kick later in the blocked kick.

[@tillerbob63]

12k! Congrats, people are starting to wake up and see it. Tried to pick it up yesterday and raged after one game. So much trash in this game.

[@RyanMoody21]

Thanks Tyler, 12k and 5 million came around the same time. Appreciate you playing a part in both.

[@tillerbob63]

I guess I should have said "tried to pick it up again". I am a dumbass and preordered it digitally. I just like knowing I can come home and it's ready to go. Last time I do that with EA. From now on it's disc only. I think I went nearly 2 months without playing it. During that time I've played 2k5 and NCAA 09. Football is so much cleaner on old gen. None of this trash. Funny how EA once made a really fun football game. Now I can't get past halftime without feeling like I'm playing an arcade game that's poorly developed. I hate that you cannot criticize how terrible this franchise has fallen with the fanboys. I get called out and I've bought every madden since back in the SNES days. Can't we all agree that this is not where this franchise should be? I mean honestly, the depth that football had when 2k and EA were battling was awesome. Franchise modes felt deep and alive. Now they feel empty and ignored. The play on the field felt better. I'll take tackles that give more realistic results in 2k and the PS2/Xbox days over what we have now. EA had a great product, now they are milking the cash cow.

[@justinyoung4645]

Tyler Robbins Raged after one game? Sounds like you just suck ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@tillerbob63]

Justin Young that's such a great slam dude. I rage over how pathetically made this game is. Never said I lost. Take your trolls elsewhere.

[@justinyoung4645]

Tyler Robbins Please point out where in my comment where I said I disagree... I’ll wait.. All I simply said was the way you said that sounded like you just suck at the game.

[@joefather2463]

This is how it is in the nfl.. If the kicker dont react in time or the snap is jumped it gives the defense a huge advantage and prob will be blocked...

[@RyanMoody21]

Show me footage of a kicker standing still to make sure his kick is blocked.

[@joefather2463]

Its a delayed reaction you act like he stands there for 10 minutes

[@joefather2463]

How I look at it is, you don't control what the player does you control what they attempt to do example you don't control if a quarterback throws a bad pass you just control who he attempts to throw it to just like a kick, you don't control how quick he reacts just how he kicks the ball

[@joefather2463]

I believe that most madden shit is scripted lol I just dont think this is one of them sorry for having an opinion sir

[@danielisom852]

Warchief Thrall, it has to do with the attributes for the players. If people weren’t so simple minded they would simply download a roster update and tweak the the people who block field goals to have a higher chance at blocking field goals. The developers deal with the way stuff happens in game by how the players are in real life. For example, for years the Minnesota Vikings stayed at a 70+ overall. They maybe reached 80 like 2 times. They did really well this season and are the highest rated team in the game. Look at Minnesota’s field goal kicker that kept missing field goals or having them blocked the past few years. Now, look at this season and tell me they haven’t improved. The super bowl is being held in Minnesota for crying out loud. Quit bitching about a game you refuse to get good at or just suck at. I will keep enjoying Madden 18 as I think it’s the best Madden game since Madden 08 and Madden 10.

[@MA-sc6dx]

Madden is garbage

[@IceProd]

Same thing with punts. The punter sometimes kind of lifts up their knee and it it gets blocked.

[@nickhxll]

quite honestly even the PS2 era NCAA games had scripted blocks, but back then it was far more fluid. some things just never change.

[@jordanmayers7083]

Glad to see the madden community doesn’t understand how player statistics and how your actions in game affect probability of what will happen, just because an animation to make it look better doesn’t make it any less legitimate.

[@MrHotwings117]

Nice to know you don't understand how game mechanics and animations can completely overwrite a players stats.

[@kozmeetorez]

he's basically saying that I blocked kick on that is rare regardless of the animation caused it to be that way. a block kick has to happen at some point just like a real life but on the game it rarely happens just like in real life. so basically don't focus on the animation to focus on the probability of how likely it is to happen.

[@sansandasgoresgamingchanne9035]

The best part about this is that it's Giants vs Eagles but their playing in Lucas Oil stadium

[@shmeet]

_____________Never was into football games so i don't know exactly how much control someone has. Is the kicker's kick initiated by the user? Because it's quite clear at 2:27, when you say "Here's the kick that's good...", that the kicker began his run-up to the ball while it was still in the air, well before the 'holder' had caught the snap. By contrast, at 2:35, when you say "Here's the one that gets blocked...", the snap had already been caught and placed by the holder all before the kicker even started his run-up to the ball. It's as plain as day. The little reverse sliding you pointed out has nothing to do with anything. The good kick = kicker avatar started running at the exact same moment of the snap. The bad kick = kicker avatar didn't start running until the snap had been caught and placed/set on the ground.

[@icebear8909]

I already knew madden was scripted years ago in madden 13 when in my franchise mode, a news piece headline said I lost the upcoming game before I even played it. And wouldn't you know it the opponent won because of a glitch play.

[@chronicabraham4444]

There's actually a way around this. There is no blocked kick animation for the Seahawks because they know you're never gonna make a field goal with Blair Walsh anyways.

[@Musicrecords10]

Everytime I'm trying to block the kick my player refuses to dive, he just runs straight..

[@GG-ou2tz]

Legend has it this guy is still talking about this blocked kick to this day

[@finisher3x]

The reason why the kick was blocked, had nothing to do with the kicker. It had to do with the Tight End on the very edge ( #88 ). The backwards slide movement that you saw with the kicker, is more pronounced with #88. He slides back as the ball is hiked, then goes back forward to the line. As he's going forward, the outside edge rusher gets a good jump. As #88 goes back to pick him up, it's too late, and the rusher blocks the kick. On the XP that was made, not only did #88 not slide back as the ball was hiked, the outside edge rusher didn't come off the edge and went behind the line. This means that #88 successfully blocked the man in front of him.

[@giancfabian]

Nice breakdown. Do you think it might have to do with the awareness of the kicker? Just a thought.

[@krisnauffts5787]

You just got my subscription . Finally someone who actually works to make a KZbin video! Appreciate it dude a

[@RyanMoody21]

Appreciate the Sub and support Kris! Thank you for watching.

[@Leave_a_Mark_Gaming]

Also on blocked punts the punter will take a few steps in place while holding the ball before attempting to kick it allowing it to be blocked

[@YoMama_JRXC]

Playing against my friend's I used to block kicks all the time. It's all about what you press the sprint button on a blocker, and how your opponent kicks the ball.

[@MikeysPsyche]

I don't think the animation is causing the blocked kick, but that the blocked kick is just causing the animation so that it looks better. I'm pretty sure they just change to the blocked kick animation after the game receives your controller input that says you timed the snap perfectly for a block.

[@tcrooks16]

I’ve been blocking kicks way before they added animations . Back then it was about timing and it still is . Yes there’s an animation, yes your kicker moves slower and yes the player JUMPING the snap gets a speed boost . Hold the X /A longer to throw timing off

[@tomservo75]

I thought something was up when I could predict I'd get a kick blocked because everything, snap, hold, and kicker was slowed down.

[@ExtreamSports]

It's all about the kick meter. When you stop the power on the red section at the top, it takes longer for the kicker to kick the ball, so it can be blocked. AI does it randomly.

[@AmirAbdullah]

While I used to complain about crap like this, there’s no way to simulate nerves or a kicker being shook , or low confidence or even the all time low kicking issues the nfl had this past season. So you found like I used to find crap like this that’s put into the game to create the illusion of error. It was just this game you were playing , like the games I’d be playing to help create the any giving Sunday, and given play, always a opportunity to make a play scenario. Hate to say bro, it’s not going anywhere , it’s put into the game for my stated reasons. I got more than frustrated and eventually quit madden. I had Gigs and gigs of footage just like this. Submitted some to EA and what I told you is what they told me. Good video, I feel you.

[@deaundrecummings3469]

I've noticed that if you control the guy on the end, sometimes he'll get in a more athletic stance if that makes any sense to block the kick, and he'll actually run faster

[@nrcvlogs8364]

When the defender jumps the snap, he’ll block it if you press X/square. They slow down the animation to give you time to dive. So, it isn’t scripted, the player does control it in some way

[@wolfieerhart3878]

It is a game. if you get a good jump, the game is programmed to make the kicker go slower

[@rosslenig3715]

The same thing happens on punts, madden made a marketing push this year claiming they did a whole bunch to make it more realistic but as always when they have development cycles as short as they do very little gets improved from year to year. One day they're going to realize maybe a game every two years is more feasible but ill be old and dead by then and everyone will have stopped playing football already.

[@gavinf.7890]

How would any kicks get blocked in the game if there wasn't a certain amount of determination beforehand?

[@arid_desert_storm]

Dude, this pissed me off so much a few months ago. It was in a AFC Championship game, with a routine 40 yard field goal to win the game. Well, the ball was snapped, the kicker stood there for three seconds, and the ball was blocked and returned for a touchdown. I restarted that game from the amount of bullshit that I witnessed, because it got stolen away from me.

[@RyanMoody21]

Im all for losing, when its realistic, I clearly had this game in hand. We need realism, first and foremost.....we are being sold NFL Simulation here.

[@91taws65]

I don't have the game but did you test the animations between successful kicks first? Could have been just a normal variation that turned into a blocked kick. If it is scripted, that's sad.

[@LJT9393]

Was there not a roughing the kicker penalty? Cause when I even clip through the foot of a kicker I get a flag..

[@icecru2]

theres a couple of things, a perfect kick can't be blocked. if you have the "early" or "late" kick your kicker moves late, and if the other user is attempting a block its easier to block, if not it'll be like a mistimed snap, and can still be good.

[@guardian064]

I agree with you and you probably are correct about the development in the game. But what I do wonder is if you can do the same comparison but see if the power gauge is similar in both kicks. Maybe his wind up starts late if you fall short or over boost the power gauge. Just a suggestion that made me wonder if that little deviation changes the outcome more often
