I feel like APF 2K8's kicking system is way too random. There isn't enough user influence.
I would be all for the moving arrow aspect.
Something like if it were a very windy game you would have to constantly correct the angle for the kick (the arrow would move faster in said direction).
In rainy or snowy conditions the kicker would take a longer time to put more power into his kick (or something to sacrifice for power/accuracy).
