New NCAA Free Kick Mechanic

[Zebra29]

What does everyone think of the new free kick mechanic (moving R to pylon, H to team B's restraining line, BJ not coming in to hash after kick)

Personally, I think it's a HUGE mistake and we'll see it changed back, even before the season is over.

There's too much of a black hole in the middle of the field. No one is there to see the holds and blocks in the back at the point of attack. And Lord forbid if there's a fumble or muffed kick in the middle somewhere.

R's getting spots? Not most of the R's I've seen.


The entire mechanic was changed to cover the less than 1% of the time that there's a surprise onside kick. Now we've got giant holes in our coverage on 99+% of our free kicks.

Thoughts?
