Blocked field goals and blocked punts.
I've never been able to block field goal attemps, or punts. I'd like them to make this more realistic in Madden 2008.

Hah, yeah. I think it's one of the things where it's either going to be too much or too little. It's always been too little, and I think a lot of people resented that. However, after NCAA 07 where you blocked several field goals a game it turned out that, having it be a lot more rare is better.
Madden 07 was a little better, in that you could block FG's, maybe once every 30 kicks. Which is fine, however, punts are another story.
I think they should make it so the kicking meter has two parts. One part for how well the long snap and hold is, and the other for the actual kick. We all saw last year how critical long snapping and the hold was for games like the Broncos and Cincinatti, so I think it'd be great.
Having a bad snap/hold would result in maybe a longer kick, and thus more chance of a block, or maybe a muff..or have the ball sail over the holders head now and then.
Would add some fun and unpredictability, while keeping kicks/punts being blocked more often, but based on the users input.

Hah, thank you. I do my best. Might even make drafting Long Snappers, or at least finding a good one, a legitmate need so there are less screw ups.
Good stuff.

Quite like the idea Forenci...And the LS meter would be based on the LS's ability..Cos right now, it means squat.
..Tho I have yet to block a kick on 07, and only block punts against friends..

I've blocked 2 or 3 field goals, one which was a game winner, plenty of extra points and like 2 punts. I've had it since pre-release lol.
Not to easy but then again I like that.

Ahhh... Ok... I'm just not used to being behind on the games. 360 isn't Co-Op, and therefor it's possible you aren't full of BS.

haha, yeah not full of b/s. I've tried every possible angle, you pretty much have to time an extremely unlikely hole to open perfectly to get throw on FG's or cause havok on the front line with your LB so that a lineman can get in and block it.

How realistic are blocked punts and field goals? lol.
They're very rare. Blocking punts is pretty easy. Put your fastest guy(I use Tye Hill 98 speed) 3rd to last on the right side. Just pick the block punt play. After you do that They should audible into a play that protects your block punt play. And try to get a good jump, slant around the blocker and 'boom'. It's a little too easy...I've never blocked a field goal though....

I blocked a field goal against my mom's b/f for the win. 5 second left and he was down by 2, I took one of my corners from the far left side of the screen and ran him from his down stance horizontally towards the line and then in as he hiked and I went straight through and swated it.
I've blocked like 2 FG's and a couple extra points but I've only blocked like 1 punt and it was my computer not me.

Not Madden 07, but NCAA 07 - blocking fg's and xp's was pretty easy for me. I just put my best DT on top of the center, and then if I got a good jump he'd blow the center out and hurdle over him towards the holder. If you took the right angle and jumped at the right time, you'd block the kick - if you took a bad angle you'd get blocked by another linemen and if you jumped too early or too late you'd miss the ball.
As for punts, I've only blocked 1 or 2 a season in NCAA 07 vs 1 or 2 FG's a game... not sure if it's different in Madden though
