Not all kickers in Madden are interchangeable, but yes, if you look at the ratings, some guys can actually do both jobs way too effectively.

But that doesn't bother me nearly as much as how easy the kicking system is in Madden.

Once you know your kicker's maximum distance, you basically will never miss a kick in this game.

I love the system in All Pro Football because no kick in that game is a gimme and the field goals from 50+ yards require near-perfect execution to go in, so you really get that feeling of accomplishment when you make one, especially when the game is on the line.

One of my best memories from All Pro Football, actually, was sending a game to overtime on a 50-yard field goal form a generic kicker that clanked off the crossbar and bounced through.

That's something you'd never see in Madden because of how routine 50-yard kicks are.
