So uh, what's the deal with the kicking???

[therizing02]

The kicking definitely takes some getting used to. I missed the first four XP I tried. I'll never waste a legend on a kicker. Nate Conway (generic kicker for the Chicago Rays) nailed a 46 yarder last night with room to spare.

I hold the right stick back and push forward when he gets ready to kick the ball. So time the upward movement with the RS with the kickers leg.

wow..i have to try that...works on field goals too?

Seems like it's hard enough picking regular players, now we need to squeeze a specialist in too?

Guys-

Time it right.

Pull it back. When he's about to make contact, flick it forward really fast.

The faster you go, the farther the ball will go. Once you figure that out, its cake.

The best way to describe it as is.. REAL TIME KICKING.

Think of the stick as being your foot.. but do it real fast before you make contact with the football.

I must be the slowest flicker ever. Must improve on my flicking skills so i can avoid giving up field position allllllllll the time.
