Field Goals

In addition to many bugs and backs not remotely trying to cover their target or blockers not blocking or w.r or tightends just running straight back to the line of scrimmage on stop or curl route. When I go to kick field goals the meter is clear. Can't see the arrow can't see kick power, and when you do kick it is like in slow motion. Did something change? Is it normal now? Or another screw up. All I know is for a multi BILLION dollar game they sure f+×k  it up and have a severely disappointing product for as much money as they rake in on it. If things don't change, I don't see myself purchasing future EA products. But main question is about the field goal. Anyone else experience this? I restarted my system and it is still doing it and after 14 seasons this is the first time I have noticed it.

    My biggest frustration for field goals is kicking from either the left or right hashmarks. You think you are aiming far enough over and your kicker kicks it straight and misses wide right/left. Or you over aim thinking that last time it went straight and this time they kick it too far in that direction. Only field goals that are easy are when you are exactly in the middle of the field. 

    They need to add field goals to the practice section so we can try to understand how they work as '26 moves the pointer due to wind when '25 didn't.

  • the clear kick meter is part of the new HFA package, when you are in a hostile stadium, in addition to a camera shake, your play clock and field goals are also affected.

    After my little melt down i figured it out as it went away as I pulled away in the game. Lol. Thanks for letting me know though. I greatly appreciate it.

    It's in the mini games training, has been since day 1 buddy. They even have different color shades that give you more points for kicking in dead center along with a bulls eye that moves vertically for extra points. You can do all the field goal practicing you need there.
