Yep, I was thinking of Supervision for my kicker as well but the description says nothing about kicking, even though vision is important for kickers. If it doesn't affect kickers I guess I'd go for Closing Speed or Wrap-Up Tackle since my K does seem to get in on tackles on kickoffs.

Just read this

See Mat McBriar's post

"I can't find the link/quote but I think I remember Catch and/or possibly Bort saying it'd be useless in terms of kicking/punting (which make sense)."

All Super Vision does is help vs fakes, it's not a vision boost...

I took Closing Speed on my punter, just so he can blast off after the punt or maybe catch that guy who slipped past the coverage team up the sideline... but still, I don't know if I'll ever put points into it.

it also helps "see the play develop".

Superior Vision

This player has a great football sense. He is far less likely to be faked out by pump fakes, head fakes, and jukes. He is also able to see a play developing earlier and may get the jump on an interception or tackle.

This skill is far more effective when used by players with higher vision.

Additional Levels:
Increases the bonus toward avoiding fakes and noticing developing plays.

I chose this for my punters as they will have high vision.

Bort has said himself Super Vision doesn't help ball carriers or Kickers. It will only help if the Punter needs to make a tackle. I'd much rather get wrap-up or Diving Tackle for the P

Not like it matters, I wouldn't put points in any of them.

agree. def not spending points in them.

They should have gotten an actual SA that would be USEFUL and actually somewhat realistic for a punter & kicker.

Lets face it, when watching football, we usually laugh when a kicker or punter is forced to make a tackle. Most of the time the P & K use the sidelines for help. New SA proposal for P & K only:

Possible titles:
Force out
Sideline Containment
Out Of Bounds (OOB)
Angle Tackle

Punters & Kickers don't like to make tackles. The Punter & Kicker will try to slow up the retruner or force the retruner out of bounds by getting in the way. Each level of (See name list) increases the chances of the kicker/punter slowing down the retruner (-1% to returners speed & agility) or actually making the tackle (+1% to the kickers tackling ability) by cutting off the returner and forcing him to the nearest sideline.

Actually, I think my kicker gets most of the kickoff tackles on ST, but I've only got 2 seasons under my belt so it may be different at higher levels.

I was thinking of taking 'Snarl' just for fun to reduce morale when my kicker does get a tackle. I don't really understand the game mechanics in any detail so it may be a bad idea. Closing Speed or Wrap-Up Tackle are probably the more practical choices.

Regardless of what you take putting any points into it is akin to putting points into catching. It does nothing to help your kicker or punter do their number 1 job.

How about 'first step'? Could the bonus to speed add to kick velocity?

My Kicker went First Step...hoping somehow Acceleration helps speed of kick lol....just like speed helps the foot go faster...WTH who knows with this game..
