Kicking

[ldpart67]

Is it me or is the accuracy meter in this years game SEROIUSLY messed up. I usually don't complain too much, but I just missed 2 FG's inside 30 yards and pooching punting is next to impossible.
Ive got the kicking accuracy slider maxed. Anyone else notice this or have a suggestion ??

I dont know, but i do know that last night i believe it was the Dolphins kicker that missed a 29 yd FG. I love that part about this game, FG's are not a give me.

Funny you should mention that I was playing as the Dolphins vs the Colts.. Clark broke a long one for Indy too!!.. Seroiusly though, It soesnt bother me so much on FG's but punting it seems no matter what I try it is always way way off

I think kicking is too easy; they need a new process to do other than flicking the right stick. By the way, my kicking sliders are on default. I have no problem hitting field goals or pinning down the other team within their own 10 yard line.

I can hit 50+ yarders with about an 80% success rate. I've even hit a 58 and a 61 yard FG. I've got the FG Power slider at 55 and I can hit 55-60 yarders with guys with huge legs (Sebastian Janikowski- 98 KPW, Mason Crosby- 99 KPW), but guys with 90-95 KPW can only hit 50-53 yarders.

I've got the FG accuracy slider up around 70-80 to try and help the CPU. I can hit a large majority of FGs with it at around 50, but the CPU can't seem to aim kicks to the side and so they miss 75% of FGs that are not a straight shot.

FG accuracy around 70-80, WTF, why dont you make the game a little easier. Put it at 40 and check it out

I agree that its too easy.. Ive toyed around with sliders, but theres only one slider for player and cpu so I havent made significant adjustments. I actually started to use my left thumb and flick it without looking at the meter... Makes it a little tougher till I get used to it.

I actually saw the Saints punting the ball at their own 30 instead of kicking the field goal... So its either keep kick power low and see this, or have kickers kick 58 yarders easily?

Well I must be doing something wrong when I flick the right Stick then because I am constantly hooking it to one side or another.. Guess Ill go into practice mode for awhile..thanks for all the feedback
