Kicking nerf, again?

[JayD]

Popped the game in after collecting dust for weeks and I have a question, Did they seriously nerf kicking again after release? I remember missing field goals day one but now I miss the mark by a good margin and straight down the middle. I play All Madden-Sim with fg accuracy at 30.

If I don't hit the black area I always miss. I've missed two extra points in my last three games

Turn your accuracy back up to 50, then?

It has been possible in Madden this year (at least since the last couple of patches) to miss FGs and XPs if you do not "hit your marks."

That would be very odd but it is Madden so......

I do not follow why that would be odd . . .?

Hopefully not, but kick blocking should be nerfed. Not every block is catastrophic and returnable. Some just go 20 yards and flutter or, like in Jacksonville earlier, are still successful

I feel like the majority of them in real life get tipped and still travel past the line of scrimmage. In Madden the defense could be invisible and I could still tell if I'm about to get a kick blocked, the kicker will have a delay after the snap and the defense could take the ball from the holder's hand if they wanted

If raising kick accuracy increases missed field goals
