We have a string of "soft" teams coming up, and I want to make sure our punter gets some XP.

Currently, he has 2 punts in 3 games, and we are entering the weak part of the schedule, and I really don't know how often we will be punting.

So, my question is two fold, if I put him in someplace other than punting, does he get normal XP (and the bonus), or is that only if he is actually punting?

My thought is to put him on the kicking team, then he would only be there during kick-offs. When/if we punt, the sim would pull him from the ST chart to be used as a punter.

Is there another better method to ensuring your P gets enough PT?

Just stick him at #10 on the KOS depth chart. That's the only place you can put him, btw. Otherwise, he won't punt.


For punts, only slots 1 through 9 are used. (Punter+Long Snapper)

Also, make sure you only have 10 total on the KOS, and the energy settings are 1/5 or something.

Alternatively, you can set your AI to punt in stupid situations in the 2nd half if you're winning by a boatload of points.

I thought about that, but I didn't want to punt too much.

I was thinking of running something like a reverse 2 minute drill at the end of the 4th.

Thanks for the info on the KOS, I kind of thought that maybe the placement for punter (and only one on the depth chart) would override the KOS positioning.
