Need help with KR.

[mm boost]

My kicker only gets tackles when he pushes them out of bounds, otherwise i seen him get juked out of his shoes and trucked.

I never use hit stick on special teams, because of the fact its easy to counter.

Same here - I always laugh when I see Hauschka take down someone like Harvin.

What I do is control the kicker, move the stick (so the AI doesn't move him) and let the return play out.

As far as running back kicks, every player has a KR rating that doesn't always get shown (you can see it easily by going to your KR and PR depth chart). If that's high, then the KR/PR blockers tend to block more successfully/intelligently, especially on KR as that's more of a set play than the chaos of punt returns.

KR is pretty much the most important rating on returns, imo, although SPD would probably be a close second, but you don't need too much speed if you get great lanes.

Wow I haven't had a return for a TD since the patch came out. Weird. It was too easy for me before the patch.

that is hard to believe that a guy with 86 speed outran everybody. i use the giants and i will put sinorice or bradshaw back there and i will find a seam and eventually get run down at the 10 or 5 and they both have 90+ speed.

I like when the kickers get over excited after their kicks and tackles. It makes me laugh every time

Maybe it was fatigue (though fatigue should have impacted everyone else as well)?

Also, what's Sinorice/Bradshaw KR rating?
