or maybe 98 since he hit the cross bar ? was he already since I dont pay attention to kickers ratings LOL. Or is this a significant upgrade/should be ?

Re: David Akers, should he be a 99 distance next week?
Ya, give it to him, he earned it with that 63 yard FG against GB. That was a pretty sweet kick. -
Re: David Akers, should he be a 99 distance next week?
My biggest problem is that 99 Kpw should be Janikowski. I honestly believe he could hit a FG in denver from 70 yards. So, I have a hard time giving anyone that designation.Comment

I know we can change it with sliders, but the Madden default for kicking power needs to go up in general. It would help for people like my brothers who run leagues but too old fashioned to mess with sliders since they believe it's cheating to adjust any sliders apparently.Comment

Wind could have been a factor in that 63 yard field goal kick ...Comment

Re: David Akers, should he be a 99 distance next week?
The problem with kicking power in general is that most, if not all kickers, generally have the appropriate power IRL to kick a 60+ yard field goal. Depending on location (i.e. Denver) and wind factors, most kickers can get enough power behind it to get the distance.
The problem is though, when you see kickers miss long FG's IRL they generally miss in terms of accuracy (i.e. wide left or wide right). You rarely see a kicker miss under the crossbar and be short.
That's not to say some kickers IRL won't be short, it has happened before. But I'm saying in perfect conditions or with a big breeze in their favor most kickers, in terms of Madden ratings will be a 90-99 kick power, but not very accurate.Comment

Re: David Akers, should he be a 99 distance next week?
With how straight the kick was from that distance, I'd boost his accuracy and his distance rating, like the guy posting above me is saying most kickers can nail kicks from 60+ its factors around the kick that go into actually making it or not. I don't think the video game can actually adjust to factor in these things, besides wind.Currently playing FIFA 2013 & DOTA 2 ( PC )

Re: David Akers, should he be a 99 distance next week?
Yeah I agree that his accuracy should be increased and also when they are going over the target FG range for the kicker in an actual game sometimes they mention how far he has been kicking in warmups.Comment

Re: David Akers, should he be a 99 distance next week?
funny how akers hits a 63 yarder but back when he was an eagles anything 45+ was a terrifying and anxiety filled fg attemptComment
