KICKERS & PUNTERS

One thing I think they could do as a possibly small change is to take away the directional arrow and have 2 meters.  The Green Section on the left-right would move to where you need to direct it and then a second up down arrow would be for trajectory.  If you are to the right of the green section it strays farther right.  If left farther left.

I'm playing coach mode dynasty and even fcs schooled punters are kicking from their endzone all the way to my 15, crazy.  The fg kickers are also banging 57 yarders straight down the middle with room to go, thats with the fg power at 40 and accuracy at 30, punters power at 40.

Yes, they have special teams sliders. I put all of them to zero to see if it effects anything, it doesn't effect nothing. Still the same results. Ratings don’t matter. 

Forgot to mention that they really need to do away with the the auto shank when you lower the accuracy slider below 32/33 if you aren't perfect.  I don't know what that slider is actually affecting but once you hit that threshold you just shank it straight out of bounds on misses instead of having it go left or right.

It should really be the farther you miss by the farther the kick goes left or right not barely miss and it's a total shank.

I don't have this years game yet but this has always been an issue with the kicking EP's and FG's.  The CPU never misses Extra Points except for blocks.  That is not hyperbole.  I have not seen the CPU miss any Extra Point in CFB or Madden and in Madden I play 32 team franchise.  Last year the league leader in misses in the NFL missed 5 extra points.  So if you are playing CPU Coach Mode or anything like that I am guessing they will not miss regardless of rating.

The one year EA really adjusted the difficulty of kicking and people freaked out was the last time I can remember the CPU missing an Extra Point.  In CFB the first two years they would miss some short ones but only if there were at a hash and I feel like in 26 later in the cycle they "fixed" that as well and they stopped missing anything inside 30 yards.  It definitely changes the game especially when there is no drama behind Field Goals unless they are generally over 50 yards.  In 26 I did see the occasional miss inside 50 and the super rare inside 40 miss so whatever RNG they are using it is way to kind to kickers.

The answer is making sliders have way more of a multiplier, splitting them into CPU and User and for Users adding a slider for Meter Speed based on Kickers Accuracy rating.  Raising the Slider would make the meter move faster.  

The Punting thing has to be a bug.  Have they still have not separated Special Teams sliders inside Dynasty ?

I really wish they would adjust this.
