There was a thread here on MUT.GG just a couple days ago. But here are the facts:
It's an issue on OLD GEN (both XBox and PS). EA is aware of the exploit but it will never be fixed because they won't put resources into OLD GEN. They do this by coming out in SAFE MAN LEFT and usering the 2nd guy in from the left side of the screen. By timing it just right they get a speed boost and are able to dive and block the kick.
There is no "true counter". But it's MUCH harder (not impossible) to block kicks from a left-footed kicker than a right-footed kicker. If they use SAFE MAN LEFT as described... they will almost always run into the Tackle blocking on that side. So go get yourself lefty Punter Scottish Hammer and manually sub him in on extra points and FGs inside the 34 yard line. Beyond the 34 yard line he will come up short so if you're feeling lucky... swap back to your normal righty kicker.
I'd say 75% of my opponents at least try to block my "righty" kicks... and of those... about half are proficient meaning they will always block the kick or they will come darn close. Maybe 20% know how to come out in SAFE MAN RIGHT to block the "lefty" kicks from the right side... and most are just not that good at it. It requires some stick skill and guys just aren't used to coming from the other side.
I have been using Scottish Hammer this way since he came out like 8 months ago and have had only a handful of his kicks blocked. And only one maniac was able to block him from the left side where he actually looped around my Tackle and timed it just right to get the block.
