I Suspect There's a 100%-Effective Field Goal Blocking Technique Now

It was so easy for my opponent. I've been seeing attempts that almost got there, but I just played against a guy that found it.

"Stick skills"

They coming up the middle or on the side? 

I think this is the first year I’ve seen them blowing up the middle for a block consistently

Off center, but between the tackles.

Do you quick kick because you are impatient? I block at probably 50% if you kick as fast as you can.

I've only been blocked once. I kicked it too fast. Now I wait till they are done running around.

The current gen FG block bug is back?

Don't kick immediately.  Wait several seconds. 

People have the timing down to punish those who kick right away.

Clarification: The method evidently involved glitching out the offensive blocking logic. The user wasn’t aligned at the center, but one of the defenders at nose ran free, and after switching control to that defender, the user blocked the kick.

While the technique was different, once the ball was snapped, it looked very similar to how “Hover” Dime works: A blocker ignores a clear and obvious threat to block a lesser threat.

See my follow-up. No snap timing is necessary.

You didn't mention if you kicked immediately or if you waited. 

I get the animation you saw doesn't look like it had anything to do with timing but this game is all animation based so even though it may seem like it would happen no matter the timing, that is unlikely unless you can confirm you are not kicking on a cadence like most do.

Ive had one FG blocked he wasnt even in a block formation he was in a normal defense and just ran straight up the middle and came in untouched

I avoid kicking on a cadence.

I watch users run all over the place prior to the snap. I watch guys line up in specific non-field-goal-block formations and switching between players on timing to get their speed up and get through the line to block the kick if the ball is snapped. This was different.

It has always been the case that the key to penetrations in MUT has less to do with overloading, and more to do with just glitching out the offensive blocking assignments so that the defender can pass through untouched. Loop blitzes, hover, crowding the box... none of these things are winning in MUT because the numbers are overwhelming. They work because blockers ignore an assignment they would engage ten times out of ten in the NFL, and any blocker who couldn't pick up these simple and obvious rushers would get cut.

Do you know what defense he was running or any details? I've seen some videos of people running a normal defense instead of fg block and sometimes getting through as you described but it doesn't seem consistent unless the timing is there but what you describe involves no timing so it's an interesting one to detail.
