Warrior General Games

we won a 65-20 blow out but our kicker had a bad bad day. He's normally a solid guy. Missed 5 outta 10 xp's in one game. Has there been a change or something? He did boost recently.

bad luck most likely.

Even if you have a 1% chance of missing an extra point, with as many games simmed someone is gonna roll that 1% a few times in a game. This was your guys lucky day!

What's his confidence. You miss one, your morale drops a lot, likely to miss another. He got the "yips".

I don't doubt he could use more kicking but he's never missed xp's in bulk. I'm hoping its the 1% fluke mentioned above. Maybe he kicked it with his left foot. ;-) He's attempting to be a switch kicker.

I would've expected him to miss 2 or 3...5 seems a little excessive.

FWIW - My kicker had the opposite "luck" in a scrimmage game. Made kicked two 59 yarders and another 50+. Tell me how many times are kickers gonna hit 3/3 from 50+ let alone two at max range.

Sometimes lightning strikes.

There's a widely mentioned theory (that I agree with) that would link it to stamina for as many special teams plays he just logged.

I went 11/13 XP and 0/1 FG in game 1, and my energy had dropped to 68. Game 2 I was fine.

needs to get confidence to the softcap, and get kicking higher.

stamina maybe. Blowouts = more kickoffs and pat attempts. With only 10 stam might of gotten tired and with confidence also playing into that, could very well = a bad day.

DAMMIT - we lost by 2, missed 2 PAT, what the hell? this seems to be an ongoing issue, any ideas are welcome

Don't see a problem here. Try changing your play intensity setting. I have a bit more luck on normal rather than hard, but I can't explain why/don't have enough data to back it up.

Surely you should do better on Hard.

Looks like a good build stizz. The only thing I could suggest is a bit more agility/strength and much more stamina. I have almost an identical build. I miss the occasional PAT. Im experimenting this season to see if investing in stamina will cut down on the misses. I have seen strong evidence to believe it will.
