Problems with Punt Returns

[BrnwsBucksFanNC]

I am in my 6th year at Kent State and all of the sudden my punt returners have started fumbling the ball on the punts.

I have changed the depth chart and am putting guys with high awareness, catch in traffic, spectacular catch, and catching as the returners, but I am still dropping at least 1 punt a game.

Any help would be appreciated. It sucks holding a team to a punt in a close game only to turn it over on the 35 yard line with a fumble

What is your returner's kick return rating? If that rating is pretty high, than you shouldn't be seeing that many drops. I know I have occasionaly started moving my returner before he actually caught the ball, and had drops because of this. Maybe that is what's happening.

set your catching slider to Conservative under Gameplans

Ill make that change...thanks. I just finished a game and it happened again! I had the controller laying in my hands...fingers away from any buttons after I called for the fair catch and he dropped it again. I had 2 picks and they turned on over downs the rest of the time. I did field 1 punt okay...but I fumble at least 1 a game.

I will let you know if that works.

Thanks again

I know this doesnt help your question but I was just curious how you are doing in your dynasty with Kent State after 6 seasons?

Don't field the punts

Carrying rating may be the most important attribute when maintaining control of the punt or kickoff.

A lot of WR have a pretty low CAR rating (50s or low 60s) and don't do to well with maintaining possession on punt and KO returns.

I am doing fairly well. I am a 6* program and just beat CMU for my 5th straight MAC title (have played them 6 times for it, lost the 1st one). I have lost 3 of my bowls game though. I am getting ready to play Texas in the Fiesta Bowl. I have a young team (only 10 Seniors this year) so they should get even better.
