Oh, no, Tony. I didn't think that at all. I know you better than that. I just was passing along some info that might be useful to you in maybe one of your (wink) upcoming games. ;D

hopefully people read this...i dont know if ppl look at this thread much...
1 rule i think we should add is a pretty simple 1 is on Punting...i have played many opponents here in SAPML and all over who go with the 60MPH line drive punt to the corner that is impossible to return because the PR cant get there fast enough to catch the punt that has broken the sound barrier...often turning into rolling 75+ yard Punts, which is just ridiculous...
nobody in the NFL kicks a punt that barely gets 20 feet off the ground as is sizzles through the air out of reach of the PR...in my opinion it is very cheap, and turns a defensive effort into nothing, i have many times stopped an opponent by 3 and out from his own 20 yard line or so, to which i should be rewarded with decent field position, like say my 35-40 yard line would be a 50 yard kick and short return...but instead im now pinned back inside my 20
i was playing in a game in another league, where i stopped an opponent at about his 25-30 yard line...he lines up to punt an just lasers a seed that rolls out of bounds at my 3 yard line, now im pinned at my 3, which on the 1st play resulted in a safety...so my reward for playing good Defense was giving my opponent 2 points and the ball right back, because his kicker just bombed out an 80 yarder..
hopefully some people are on the same page as me here, and feel my pain

Is this a video game? Oh yeah that's right, it is. Do people find ways to exlpoit the game...YES!
I agree with you sweet. My friend does this to me too. Annoying and cheap.

i know its a video game...but this is considered a "Sim" league, we do all sorts of other things to keep it a realistic as possible...this is something that will also make it realistic

We could go on and on about a whole slew of things. Is it realistic that when you do get to return a punt your blockers stand around picking their nose while 4 or 5 guys surround your returner? It's not realistic for the defense to see the cone but they do. Then we get people who follow it around all day. Me I don't mind this at all. Is it cheap? some may consider it to be. Should we make a rule on this? We can't make a rule on every single thing. It's just impossible. I will be the first one to admitt I do the line drive punt, and my opponent will ever return a punt unless I have made a mistake. I always punt out of bounds. Is it cheap you may say so. I call it strategy. my offense sucks I can't move the ball. Thats what I do. We just can't make a rule on everything.

"Bullet punting" is too difficult to police in my opinion.
Punting it out of bounds, bullet punting, both take the ball out of the punt returners hands. One is just like the other I guess.

And if no one has paid attention this year in the NFL there were a lot less punt returns cause of kicking out of bounds and to the sideline.

Out of fairness to players. I always try and punt or kickoff to where people have a chance for a return. Unless I'm close to thier goalline then I'll try to put it in the corner.
I hate when people always kickoff to thier left to avoid letting anyone get a return on them. I try and kick it down the middle everytime to give the person a chance for a decent return.

Why would you punt to someone to give them a chance for a decent return? Doesnt make sense, I know some people corner it all the time, I do, and others punt in the middle. I think it is game play stragey and there is really no right or wrong way to do it.

I have never experienced this in a league until recently..
IMO it is COMPLETE cheese...there is a difference in punting 50 yards, aiming for the sideline,...and a punt that is line drived, and the ruturn guy cant even get to it..It lands 20 yards in bounds and rolls anothe 20-30 yards..In addition this bullet punt always rolls foward, thus no chance at that back spin thing....
I was in a game where the player did this and punted from his 4, to my 8......impossible!
Im all about strategy.....that is why we play, but this is not strategy, but a complete glitch
