    If you have 2 controllers, this achievements is very easy.

    Start a game and get to a point where your second controller has the ball. Select a field goal. With your profile controller select any play you want.

    With your main profile, move any defensive player offside and stand near the holder. I started the play with my second controller by hitting cn_A and let the kicking meter run up and back just to be able to time the block easier. Once the holder has the ball either stafe over in front of the kicker, or move slowly towards the kicker and hit cn_X or cn_Y to dive/jump and block the kick. Managed to block this my first try, so hopefully this is easily done for you as well.

    Now with your second controller just hit cn_X to decline the offside penalty and the achievement will pop! Happy Hunting!

    iFlyHiChoose the "Prevent" play if you're on defense because it will allow you to cross the line of scrimmage every time.

    Moldy Tacos5000Can really pick any play on defense but you need to hit cn_RT and down a few times before they let you cross the line of scrimmage.

    Apostle92627I got a block on my own on an extra point in Franchise and returned it for two. I later did again in Draft Champions. Good guide though!

    When the play starts choose one of the guys on the right or left with the "B" over them. As soon as the ball is snapped hit the RT button to jump the snap. Once you break through the line hit cn_X for a diving block.

    If your having trouble you can always replace the guys blocking on the depth chart with really fast guys.

    MCASguruI did it just like this, on an extra point.

    Apostle92627I got this on an extra point with Davon House as the Rams (picked him up in the offseason). A teammate then returned it to the house for 2 points.

    What you do is angle the dive properly so you don't dive into the kicker.
