Field Goals are still very difficult for me.
I have learned the timing on PAT kicks (Series X) -- on point afters, you have to double tap (VERY FAST - click click). If you try to fill the meter on PATs, the kick will go wide every time.
What makes it difficult for me is that the mechanics for kicking off is exactly opposite, you have to hold down the button and release it at the top of the meter to get enough distance to make it to the landing zone.
Punts are just about as touchy as PATs. My punts rarely go very far, so I usually just go for it on fourth.
I'm playing all games in solo mode, but even after changing the settings for old Madden kick mechanics, it always come up with the new system. I wish they'd make it where solo players can save settings and get the old kick meter system, the game warns that the new system is required for H2H matches, but that shouldn't affect my style of play because I rarely if ever venture into the H2H area(s).
