Summarize your bug When I let the Kick Meter fill all the way up to RED and then come back down I hit it when it was in the middle of the sliver representing an accurate kick. However, a ghost marker shows up indicating that I hit it way off the mark, and then I have a horrible kick consequently. So far if I only let the kick meter fill to 100% line this doesn't seem to happen, and only when I let it go to the RED. I saw this happen to a youtuber today so I know it isn't just me now.
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Let the kick meter fill for either the punt or the field goal kick attempt all the way to the RED and then click it again in the good kick section.
What happens when the bug occurs? Kick is adversely affected.
What do you expect to see? I expect a good kick when clicking in the accurate kick sliver

    Hi @StanRoofner, 

    Is there any way you could record a video of what you're seeing? If so, please post it on a site such as Youtube and link it to us here so we can take a look. 

    Thanks!

     I have to revise my problem description. The issue is when you let the meter fill up all the way and don't click it at all. Then when it comes back around even if you click it in the accurate kick zone a phantom line appears on the arc indicating bad timing and the kick is ultra short. What I am not sure of is if this is supposed to happen. If I consistently click in the RED area on the way up things work fine, but if I just let it go all the way up without it clicking it seems to activate a bad kick. Is this correct behavior? Thanks!

    While trying to recreate this issue I found another issue although it may already be known. I kicked a field goal with under a minute to play in the half, but my kicking meter disappeared. Somehow I made the field goal, but then on the kickoff it wasn't there again. Are they aware of this?
