Tristan Vizcaino Gold Kicker Bugged

Sigh. After 30 minutes of TRYING to get your bug report forms in the bug report forums to work (those are bugged, irony alert). I'm sick of typing so here goes one last attempt.

Gold low 70s OVR Kicker Tristan Vizcaino is (almost certainly) bugged -- after buying card and putting him in lineup, went to Solo Battles and on the very first kickoff (and 100% of all kickoffs afterwards) he the kick meter mechanic behaves very oddly and 100% of all kicks go out of bounds.

100% of all PATs (didn't try FGs but I'm assuming those don't work either) have the same odd behavior on kick meter, and 100% of all PATs go wide left/right.

Two caveats: I know kicking can work on this card because I got tired of giving opponent ball on 40 yard line, so I hit LEFT bumper and went squib kick, the kicking mechanic worked okay... Kicking works with other card in lineup, went back to the pitiful silver card you provided to players, and in a different game, his kicking meter worked correctly and he got hit pitiful little short kicks down to the 10 yard line, sad, but preferable to the out of bounds, ball on 40 kicks from Tristan card.

Fix this card (and fix your bug report forums) please...

@Willysee999 I now have another kick taker and the problem has totally disappeared. You're right it was the card of this player who was totally buggy

Update: Saturday August 19, 2023...
Someone, somewhere in these forums posted a reply in another thread that actually gives a "fix" (more like a work-around if you want more control over your lineup/players)...
Use an Elite Kicker (red card, OVR 80+) and the kick meter behaves as the All-mighty Madden had intended.
The negative: you'll have to scrape together about 20-30,000 gold coins to buy a red 80 kicker, I got Fairbairn (sp?) the Texans 80 OVR kicker. Plugged him into the lineup and the first Solo Battle I played, he kicked 5 FGs and was able to kick off correctly without using the Squib kick workaround. I'd prefer to put a kicker who'd satisfy Team Chemistry (and I'd prefer a fix that didn't cost me 23,000 gold coins). But you can't always get what you want...

Bottom line, for now, until Devs break something else, you should be able to satisfy the Competitive / Kick 10 FG / Milestones / Kick 30 FGs objectives this week.

@Willysee999 Well, I tempted fate by saying "until Devs break something else" and guess what?

Servers have been down all afternoon, since about 4pm or so, here it is just after midnight and the servers are still down. Many have mentioned the same problem.

Sigh. Deja Vu from M23 when it was weeks or months before the Devs got Field Pass reliable enough to reliably allow players to finish daily / weekly Field Pass particularly the Competitive section.
