An Idea to make kicking more realistic (and challenging)

It was fairly easy if you read the manual. I was kicking 50 yarders in harsh wind when I got the hang of it. All you have to do is practice field goals for 30 minutes for two consecutive days and you'll be good quickly. Either way, I still don't play apf

So you could easily kick 50 yarders in harsh wind on APF? Hmm. Yeah that system would surely fix the problem of being able to kick 50 yarders in harsh wind on Madden. Oh... wait.

i guess...i never found it difficult after the 1st couple games. i liked it, if your timing was off or you slip up your kick is off...doesn't seem like a bad thing.

Yeah i know i was talking about m11. And i still want a meter to see how powerful and accurate your kick is. I just think that you should hold down the stick when your gearing up and then flick it when you want to launch it. I think the meter should tell you when to flick it up. However I think that just by flicking it your accuracy goes down a little and makes it harder when you're kicking it from far away/ punting/ kicking it off... which then makes it more realistic because it's not that easy kicking in the NFL.

I hate to break this to you guys... but you're never going to get a challenging kicking system. It's a game. Eventually you'll figure out the perfect timing/flicking/whatever skill and kicks will be easy again. APF's meter-less system was difficult for about 2 games, then you were right back to hitting everything again.

The best way to have kickers missing kicks is to base it purely on ratings and take it completely out of the players hands. Then you have to actually make an effort to keep a good kicker on your team.

Good point. But i'd rather go through the kicking myself.

dont agree with RAIIIIIIIDEEEEERRRRRS

bring back madden 2003 engine

i remember taht it was tough to kick at ALL MADDEN those 50 Yarders


ea give us the ability to choose between 2 kicking engine

1 Kicking Engine = Actual in Madden (easy one)
2 Kicking engine in Madden 2003 + Icing the kicker (i think people you will shake a little bit when attempting this on ALL MADDEN)

One question though, how did you get out that quote that he could EASILY kick 50 yarders in harsh wind. Nowhere did he say that he was easily kicking them, nor did he even say he was making them. He was just pointing out thats when he learned how to kick. I just don't get how people pull things out of thin air like this....sounds like my wife, haha
