Re: New Kicking Meter A Challenge?

I have problems offline with long distance kicks on all-madden. It must go a little faster plus the fact I play the NY Jets and Folk is pathetic.


They should have never changed it from last years.

Indifferent!? Its sorta/kinda touchy, you need to get it PERFECT if you want it to be guarenteed. Ive noticed that if you miss the accuracy line, the ball will curve left or right (even in domes/no wind), depending which side you missed it on. Ive clanked a few off the uprights because of this.

Re: New Kicking Meter A Challenge?

I actually have been curious about this but not curious enough to test it. I have only used one kicker thus far but for people who have used different kickers, does the speed of the meter vary? It's a huge omission IMO if it doesn't.


Also, I think it is more of a challenge (albeit a small one) than last year for the simple fact that now accuracy is controlled by two aspects (still pretty easy ones) rather than just one.

Last year, you chose accuracy with the arrow, and power with the joystick. This year accuracy is determined by both the arrow and the meter which allows for greater room for error.


I don't know what went into it, but I'm hoping there is a difference in speed of the meter and variance for error based on kicker attributes.

its easier and harder. Easier if you pay attention harder in if you dont you miss like 40 feet wide right and online... lag kills you. sometimes i stop it and it stops right in the middle then it moves all the way to the left spontaneously and i miss

Re: New Kicking Meter A Challenge?

"Challenging" isn't the right word. The poll is too black and white for me to answer.
