    FG/Extra Point problems

    Has anyone else had problems with their kickers missing field goals and extra points? I will line everything up, get maximum strength and when he kicks it the ball travels about 20 yards but below the uprights. This happens with any kicker I use. Is it a glitch?

    Are you playing with modified sliders? I found that when I turned the sliders down 5 (to 45) there were some kickers who could not make anything, EPs included.

      Now that you mention it I am. I'll set them back to normal and see what happens.

        Just put the ST sliders back to default? Or all of them? Cuz I just hit the same problem earlier today. Won the game 12-10 but missed 2 xps and 2 fgs. Easy ones too. But it was in the rain so that was my first thought. Btw - was using authentics\ilives sliders if that matters.

            Actually the game where I missed them was in the rain too. Maybe rain + bad kicker + turning down the slider a little bit = 0 level kickers.

              I use Oraeon's sliders and I haven't really had this issue when kicking myself, but when playing my dynasty with my DC at Maryland my kicker misses everything. Its bad enough my offense can't seem to move the ball against a decent defense, but when I need a 25 yard field goal to give me a cushion or to match my opponents field goal its almost always a miss. Extra points are hit or miss too, even in good weather.

                I'm using Oraeon's sliders as well and when I set the kicking sliders back to default I didn't have any problems. Looks like the sliders are busted this year. Thanks for all of the replies.

                  FG accuracy is crazy this year. I have my accuracy sliders set to 40 and with some kickers the ball wouldn't travel more then 10 yards no matter there kicking power. If the kickers accuracy is below 75 you won't make ANYTHING. It's pretty frustrating. Kick power seems a bit nuts too because I watched Fresno State's kicker smash a 54 yard FG with tons of room to spare. It would've been good from 60.

                    Maybe since extra points were automatic in years past they put in random misses????

                      Missed Extra Points

                      Hey ppl

                      Im writing to see if anyone else is having this issue:
                      My kickers (punter and kicker) keep missing extra points and Fgs. They kick it about 5 yards or they kick it off to the right or left. No matter how I angle the kick, it misses always. They are able to kick kickoffs but not place kicks. The only solution I have found is if I switch out the one player who is missing with another kicker/punter. But I shouldnt have to do that. And that even fails after they make 1 or 2 or I go into the next game. I cant even kick 30 yard fgs. Is this a known issue? Im tired of losing games due to missed extra points/fgs

                      My kickers: rating 70
                      Difficulty: Heisman, 10 min quarters
                      Sliders: User kick power 45

                          Are you using modded sliders? I posted this question last week and someone suggested not setting kicking power or accuracy below 35. I set mine to 40 and haven't had any problems.

                            I was having the same problem so I adjusted my slider settings from 35/35 (KP/KA) to 50/40 and I haven't had any issues since. Good Luck.
