Akers is not the only wrong footed kicker. In trying to match years of experience, or at least come close, I did not always pay attention to the "footedness." That is something I want to pay more attention to in the future though, when possible. I try to make sure the QBs are correct because you see them so much and watching a Right handed Steve Young is just weird.
I wish EA would allow simply edits like that. It would make editing left handed QBs a lot easier too. One thing I have noticed is that EA does not set any position except Kicker, punter and Qbs to any thing besides Right Handed. There are no left handed players at any other position.
