@dmckie55 Thank you for the report!

@dmckie55 I haven't seen anyone else report this and we'll need to gather more reports. Do you have a recorded clip where this happens? This is the first it's been brought up here on the forums and when I searched the subreddit there was only one other player that mentioned it, but may be confusion.https://www.reddit.com/r/MaddenUltimateTeam/comments/lh1amo/wind_blowing_in_opposite_direction/

This is showing the wind direction indicator is different to the actual wind direction shown on the field (on PS5) - https://twitter.com/darren_mckie/status/1387686588872859649?s=19

@dmckie55 I'm not quite sure this is a bug. The line will move a bit because of the wind regardless of where you place it. IF you were to kick it straight down the middle of the field do you see the ball shift to the right?

I have the same problem this year on Madden 22. Kicking the ball with a following wind sees the ball come up short while kicking into the wind sees the ball fly out of the back of the end zone! How hard can it be to get something this simple right?!

I have also made this observation over and over again. After my 3 attempts to complete the game of the week (TotW) at Bills Stadium (which ended each time with the game crashing just before... §&$("(§"§) ) , I'm now sure the wind direction doesn't fit. I just paid close attention to how far the kickoffs go (while just running down the clock to complete the game without a crash...). On all kickoffs, the ball went much farther with a headwind than with a tailwind.
