Onside Kicks?

I realize this is probably a pipe dream but is there any chance of just allowing onside kicks whenever and de-nerfing kick return selections so that the return choice window doesn’t pop up only after kicking team has made selection. I understand it’s not in the new rules but taking away onside kicks from the games in essence has really been a bummer. I was actually good at them (roughly 50/50) and being able to catch your opponent off guard when they had already picked play added a real strategic (and fun) dynamic that is now gone. It’s  not like you allow coaches challenges in online games which is an nfl rule so there is obviously some discretion on EA’s part.

  • @KsiZzler00 Highly doubtful... The NFL rule doesn't allow surprise onside kicks anymore. To reflect that rule change, the return team isn't given an option to choose a return until the kicking team has selected a kickoff play. Or better stated, catching your opponent off guard is no longer legal.

    @MaddenUniversity Spamming midblitz is a gimmick. Being advantageous and skilled at onside kicks I’d argue is the opposite but point taken
  • Onside kicks being removed is great. Being a cheater isn't dynamic in Madden NFL or in the real life games.
