thanks but the only thing is when i've done the pushing the stick forward as fast as I can when his leg starts going forward it says TOO EARLY...should i wait until just before he hits the ball and then slam it forward maybe?

Yah, just tweak your timing a little... I've gotten pretty good at it, so I've probably adjusted my timing as well, just haven't really thought about it.

here's what I do.

I aim - and then I pull back and push forward really quickly. No timing at all - and I'm kicking off into the endzone, and making fieldgoals easily.

timmay u just pull back slam forward in one motion? wouldnt that make the timing too early?

I nailed a 45 yard FG with a generic kicker online earlier I believe. It all depends on the angle of your arrow.

Though, I used a Bronze for my punter in case sometimes my offenses sputters

yeah generic kickers i can boot it into the endzones on kickoffs, im not having any problem at all with it, once i got use to it. I like it alot better than the EA way

yeah - it always says "very early" timing, and yet I get full power every single time. I really don't get what the whole timing issue is in.

When I flick it quickly, I kick into the end zone... when I try to time it, I kick it to the 15, maybe 10 yard line.

Answer to all your kicking problems...Jeff Jaeger. I was shanking 20, 25, 35 yarders and even extra points...then I humbled myslef and picked up a kicker and now I'm drilling 50+ yarders like a champ. It made all the difference in the world. I'm thinking about picking up a punter next and stacking my team to be a running team and just play the field position game....
