Kickoffs and Returns

Having watched all the vids around, it seems almost by default, that any kicker boots the ball 4-5 yds deep in the endzone. The great majority of time in the NFL, that would be a touchback. This just doesn't happen IRL. Even the howitzers like Janikowski only managed a TB 32% of the time last year. Most kickers get a handfull per season (roughly 5-10%)...

And then every returner seems to automatically get 25-30 yds before he's even touched. Again quite a bit too much before first contact..the best returners AV 27 yds or so, and that generally includes some huge average boosting returns/TD returns, plus broken tackles on a more "average" return..

Seems to me in need of a tweak...(and pls don't say that's what sliders are for..no they aren't...the "standard set" should reflect av NFL stats...sliders should be for personal tweaks)

Thoughts?

Re: Kickoffs and Returns

I completely agree. We had kick return issues in NCAA '09 as well due to the kickoff team not getting downfield fast enough.

Btw, I mean for the up and coming Madden 2010 of course, to avoid any confusion (point about NCAA 09 taken).

Re: Kickoffs and Returns

yeah this needs to be tweaked big time. If you kicker boots it 5-10 years deep you should be encouraged to take a knee!!!!! lol @ automatic 30 yard returns soooo true.

Re: Kickoffs and Returns

Ya I had this thought on my mind for the past week. I thought of doing a thread on this. But didn't see it as a big deal. But this does need to be adressed. I really hope Ian and his crew takes a look at this while working on madden 11 and addresses it. This just not real nfl.

11? Are we giving up on 10 before it's even finished?
