Calling all CG punt/FG block specialists!!! I need your assistance a.s.a.p

I play the pc version of Madden so I need advice from current generation players, a lot of ps2 tactics transfer over to the pc version, soooooo... anybody out there know how to block a punt? I play online and people do it to me all the time, i'm sick of it, so I figure why not give them a taste of their own medicine?
I don't know HOW they have been doing it but most of the people that know how get to the punter very quickly, quite a few people have even blocked my punts and ran them back for td's, either way i'm sick of people doing this to me and seeing ''turnover on downs'' giving them great field position at the very least when it should have been a 40 yard punt. I'm a str8 up player, always have been, but so many people are doing this to me I'm going to have no choice but use a punt block tactic on the people that use it on me. I've even had people start blocking my FIELD GOALS! for christ sakes!! I have no idea how they do that.....

Yeah, that sucks dude. You HAVE to go to Max protect when you punt. Otherwise, it's super easy to just bring a guy off the side of the line.

Blocking punts and FG's is the same for me, just timing my guy to take off as soon as I see the kick meter start filling up (I pretty much only play offline). Blocking XP's & FG's takes perfect timing, so it's tougher to get in, but If you're not in max protection when you're punting, then it's gonna get blocked 10/10 times.

I'm not positive, but I think there's a glitch out there for blocking punts, even in max protection. The opponent will switch control of guys on the line back and forth, then they just come right through the line. I don't know about any counters to that, but I'm sure someone in TML knows.

i could block punts on cg without glitching or anything and even where i would tackle the punter..... but i never did it cuz no one would believe me, when i said i wasnt cheating....... dont cheat ....... play straight dude... and really, y even play on the p.c. thats so lame compared to ps2.......

there is an online trick for current gen to time the snap perfectly and rush in to block the kicks.

to counter this you must go to max protect. some people have it timed down to where they run through the hole on the right and block it. if someone can do this, as soon as you kick the ball, you must switch players to the blocker on the right and manually block him.
