Are ruining the game.

All of a sudden KO returns are happening with regularity across multiple leagues.

Is it because people don't use the override page to position the best players to stop the run back.

Fastest DB's on the outside, Safeties and Linebackers in the middle maybe even your quickest DL.

KRTDs are not uncommon in the NFL, they are more prevalent here because people ignore special teams and either load up backups to try and avoid injuries or rely on AI autofill

I've been doing all that. Most common is that the returner actually just goes straight through, north > south, gunners have no affect at all.
IMO its suddenly broken, this was not happening a few weeks ago

I think we need to get away from the real NFL as this game is quite a long way from that, although it is very good.

Must be just me that's noticed it as this post has been up a couple of days, oh well.

What is REALLY annoying is I can (anyone) dominate someone on both sides of the ball and BAM! they get a KO return and all of a sudden there is a shift within the game which changes the dynamic. This isn't split milk as I have been both the beneficiary and loser of this 'bug' and for me its as annoying as punt block

I've experienced in one of the last games 2 opponent KO-return TDs by a slow RB. Both returns should be in the World of Wacky Plays. Several STBlockers (#1 for those positions) were simply bumped out of the path even when there were 4 together.

Lost the game by 1 pt and after this TD, once again changed the dynamic of the game.
Stop it.
