recently when I do punt when I’m inside my own 10 it feels like all of them get blocked .

If your opponent comes out in the Squeeze Block formation and USER controls the left of center player and lines up slightly off the edge, there is a strong chance they'll be able to get into the backfield to block that punt. It's not 100% guarantee, but it's far more reliable than it probably should be, especially if you're backed way up or punting from your own end zone.
I'm honestly surprised we haven't seen MUCH more of this, perhaps it's due to the fact so few players actually punt, nobody is prepared to counter that. You are not alone, i've used this to win numerous close games this year.
Basically you just need to hold DOWN (on left analogue stick) and keep the Right Trigger pressed prior to the snap and I believe you'll find this gets home and is fairly consistent. The only other thing i do is to DIVE at the punter (X on Playstation, i think A is Xbox equivalent, but please fact check that). Just make sure you kind of run past the punter, so you don't hit him and receive a penalty for roughing the kicker. The animation will look liek you've missed the Punter and will probably block the kick with your knees or feet, but it works if you get that far into the backfield.
yeah this looks like what he was doing when he blocked it. I know it sounds kinda dumb but do you think a fake would work against this when The player is focused on blocking it

Yes it would work. Your left gunner is going to be wide open. Just get a punter with decent throw stats like Hekker.
