Madden 20 simulated kicking

Madden 20 Dev Team,

Can you please do something about the simulated kicking in Face of the Franchise mode? I am playing my 3rd season through with the Dolphins and, when stopped and forced to kick, my kicker is 2 for 30 or so on short field goals inside the 10yd line, has about 20 blocked field goals, and the team frequently calls a fake pass or run instead. The only time the kicker usually makes the kick is between the 15-30yd line. Overall, my team’s kicker usually has stats like 6 for 20 FG and misses a few extra points each season. It would be great if my kicker could make 70% or more of his field goals like a real NFL kicker, especially inside the red zone. The game has been great otherwise, thanks!

    I have a similar issue, except mine it looks like my team doesn't even attempt a FG when close to the goal line. It looks it just changes possession. When I look at stats it doesn't show a FGA or a turn over.

    @JRMark86 I don't have the issue with the missed FGs, but they almost always go for it on 4th, but I don't actually get to play it. If the coach is going to go for it 75% of the time (which is unrealistic), I should at least get to play the down.

    Thanks for raising this to our attention we'll make sure it gets tracked down. The team fixed a similar issue with the scrambling QB stats in the last update.

    Please fix this in QB1. On fourth down in the red zone the Sim always calls a fake field goal. I'm loosing games because my team is leaving 3-9 points on the board. Extremely frustrating and making the mode unplayable.

    Well..? It's October now, and I just lost the SB by 1 point because of this in Franchise with a wr. With 7 seconds left on the clock I get taken off the field on 3rd down at the 4 yard line. This would mean they win by fg. Instead they probably fake it or something, cuz nothing on the statS.. and SB loss.

    EA can't fix this issue because they don't know how and never will this be addressed or fixed in anyway shape or form but I bet that won't stop us intellectuals from buying the next crappy Madden title.

    Yup the same glitch is in madden 23. I just don’t get it, I’m no game designer but this bug seems stupid easy to fix.
