I am having this same issue with all kicking. Punts are only going like 20 yards and all field goals are short as well. I stopped and held the bottom when on a field goal and it stopped where I wanted until I released the button. It then just snapped away from perfect. I'm on PS4.

That is the same problem with me.This issue started last month for me on Xbox X MVP series in franchise mode it's all perfect kicks but when it comes to the extra point PAT attempt.The kicker kicks the ball into the stands or even behind the kicker.it doesn't matter the distance either or that you have an accurate kick.Along with not being able to see the standings in Franchise mode on Xbox series X, this game is disappointing.

@pctexas Do you have a punter in your kicker's position on the depth chart by any chance?

I tried with one in the depth charta created charactera drafteeeven my QB as the kickerI have even removed and reinstalled the gameIts a horrible glitch that I wish we can be refunded on this game

@pctexas If you toss in a QB at kicker you're never going to be able to kick a FG. The only player you can have in the kicker position is a kicker. I've seen some random cases where a punter is in the kicker position which causes some kicking trouble.Do you know if the morale for the kicker you have is low?Check out this post: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Other-Madden-Games/Kicking-going-sideways/m-p/11395288#M97116

Do you know if the morale for the kicker you have is low?

No. that was for an example on testing.
I even created a kicker that is 99 rating and same issue
This is a glitch in the system and along with not being able to see the standings in franchise mode.
When will these items be fixed?

If it's a glitch it's surely a rare one.

Do you have anything plugged into your console and what type of controller(s) are you using? Do you have any accessibility settings enabled?

Are you talking about Face of Franchise or Franchise mode?

We'll flag it down to the team but to be frank the reports on this are very rare compared to the overall population of players playing this game. We can flag it down to the team for you no problem, but since we don't know what exactly causes it to occur, it helps our QA team out if we know what players are doing on their end to trigger it. That will lead to swifter solutions and maybe us discovering some workaround fixes on these forums so if players come across it, easy fix!

So if you don't mind me asking some questions here:

- Do you have anything plugged into your console?
- What type of console are you using?
- Do you have any accessibility settings enable
- Is this Franchise or Face of the Franchise?
- Are you able to recover a 2 minute clip of this happening in game and link it here?
- Do you have any bluetooth devices synced up to your PC/console? (I ask this because we've seen external devices lead to cases where the PC is identifying a different controller at that moment)
- Can you confirm it's a kicker in the depth chart when you go for a PAT?

I have nothing plugged into the console and is directly connected to the network and the game is directly installed on the console.
it worked fine up until a few weeks ago
I have removed and reinstalled the application numerous times even cleared out the cash so I even restarted my franchise mode and the issue still exists.
the main issue is that I cannot find standings in franchise mode on the Xbox One X and that's a known issue but the latest issue we're discussing here is that the kicker is kicking the ball into the stands meaning sideways or even behind him even though you are placing an accurate kick.
thank you very much for your help and I appreciate it if you would escalate this to software engineer team so they can fix the bugs that are in the Xbox X release
