And thats the actual problem with it. However they should give kickers and punters a boost in throwing. Hunter Smith threw a long pass for a TD on a fake with the Skins last season.

Doesn't that get old adjusting your QB depth chart before and after every kick?



There is a simple fix for this and we have been begging for st formation subs for years now. I guess I don't understand what is holding them back from implementing them.

Re: Shouldn't punters be holders?

I believe Matt Flynn is the Packers holder. Or he was. I'm not really sure. Either way, QB's do hold for some teams.

Re: Shouldn't punters be holders?

While I would like to see the authenticity of punters holding for PAT's and FG's, until Madden incorporates bobbled snaps, its a moot point.

I understand that having 2nd string QB's as the holder promotes more "cheesing" online in terms of fake field goals and what not, but even if there were punters holding, whats to stop the user from subbing in a QB as a holder?

There has to be some type of penalty for having someone having an "unqualified" player as the holder of PAT's and FG's, before making a change is relevant.

I'm hoping they expand the depth chart to include special teams, or at least allow us to make (and save) substitutions in ST formations
Actually, you're wrong because I put the punter as my holder without having to make him the #2 quarterback. I just do it in the subs right before the field goal

Re: Shouldn't punters be holders?

We should be able to sub in any player into any formation or into any part of the depth chart. If I want my backup linebacker as my holder, why can't I do this? If I want my backup QB to play some wide receiver for me, why can't I do this? (a la Seneca Wallace back in Seattle)
