I have opened up the build of one of my Kickers:-
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=416098
Can someone tell me:-
1) Why he hasn't got to the green (dark) bar yet on Kicking - I have seen Kickers with worse stats who seem to have made it.....?
2) Any suggestions on build - I am currently concentrating on Stamina, Agility & Speed?

Thanks in advance for any help received......

Low kicking and low confidence are why.

Besides, who cares about the scouting bars? Seriously. Performance is all that matters.

My L26 Kicker has a 66 bar, so what?

The difference between my kicker and your kicker is that...
#1 - I have a lot more range than yours (on FG's and Kick Offs).
#2 - I don't know my range, your guy does.

My kicker will think he can nail 48+ yard kicks when in fact over the past season and a half he's probably 7-20 or something from that range. Your guy, especially over the second part of last season and this season, simply knows how far he can kick accurately and hits those.

Which is the better build? IDK, it depends on what your team wants out of the K position. Long FG's or more consistency. Although, I've talked with my teams OC about setting his FG range using the O-AI, but we've just decided to let it ride

Thanks for a good answer & the help.
What would you suggest getting Kicking and Confidence to?
If I'm missing out on range - surely should be developing Strength as well? (who said building Kickers was easy???)

Honestly, as high as you are willing to get them.

I'm not sure on the STR, since my guy doesn't really have any more STR than yours. I haven't figured out how to get more consistent on the long range yet. See the game today against KET. 6/7 inside of 50. 0/2 outside. I have no idea how to raise your guys range without making him less accurate. Maybe that's just a trade off that needs to be made.
