But once they have to punt into the face of any kind of wind they chooose to do this low line drive punt that only goes for like 15-25 yards. It looks ridiculous and leaves my team around the 50 yard line or closer every single time. It makes scoring against the CPU way too easy. My twitter handle is @MrKevinPerry I have several videos of the issue up there to see. Only thing I can think of is hope they fix it through a tuner and in the mean time super sim all of those situations. It's not just punts, they do it when facing the wind during kickoffs too. It's lame I have to super sim so much now. I think everyone has the glitch, but if you're doing a CFM as New Orleans or Dallas or something you would hardly notice. I play as the Pats, I noticed immediately.

Still, in Carolina I would expect then that I would have seen it as I saw punts in both directions. Kick offs all went to the five, goal line, or five yards deep. Perhaps there is a threshold wind speed that sets this off, and is a ridiculously number but a wind speed below this you don't get it as often? I really saw it once in my first game and can count the shank as the other time, but nothing in between. Still you're correct that tuning this more appropriately to reduce the effect even at high winds is critical if you're seeing it all the time. I'm making up numbers here but I could envision no effect unless the wind is > 10 mph, then that leads to up to a 5 yard difference depending on kicker power, 20 mph knocks them down 10 yards, 30 mph 15 yds, etc. Something along those lines may be more realistic. If you punt normally 45 yards on average, the rare times you kick into a 30 mph wind you might expect kicks between 30 and 35 yards (again, take the kickers power into account?). Just a thought.

Will see what I learn tonight if I can see the actual wind speed in the game. It still seems strange that you're seeing it 100% but I'm seeing it 1 of 4 or 1 of 5 kicks if you're seeing it in any wind condition.
