Kicking Power is WAY off!

According to Madden, Nick Folk can't kick the ball far enough to make a 44 yard field goal. I was playing online in a ranked match. There was no wind and my kick meter was full. The darned ball hits the crossbar...

Did you angle the arrow down to not have so much loft on the ball?

Janikowski hit a 61 yarder, and my rookie kicker barely hit a 44 yarder with 80 KPW, so I'd say it's fairly accurate.

Kicks on Madden have always been too easy IMO.

They had it perfect in Madden 05/06 on xbox/ps2. kicks were correct and HARDER in the 4th quarter. perfect.

Jeff Reed missed a 44 yarder short by about 3 yards... but I didn't angle the arrow down.

You have to angle the arrow down and kick a lower kick otherwise the ball will come up short. The lower angle drives the ball, but it's more susceptible to being blocked.

Yup, I did this. Folk's Kick Power is 94, so this should not be happening.

I made a 60 yarder with Bironas online, and had about 5 yards to spare. If anything, it's too EASY to kick long field goals on this game. Just aim the arrow as far down as it'll go. I've been making kicks from within the 40 pretty regularly, using a wide variety of kickers, which is kind of a joke.
