I have a punter on one fo my teams who has a very solid build but is underperforming when it comes to long kicks.
He is great with coffin corners, but when we are backed up in our own territory and he has the entire field to kick down, he boots the ball 35 yards. Obviously we need to fix this.

His build looks like:

60+strenght
60+vision
70+confidence
100+punting

30/30/30 spd/agi/jump

8/9/9 in SAs

Anyone got any ideas?

My build is similar to yours, a little behind, but similar and I'm having the same exact problem. I'm getting some nice coffin corner punts, but from our side of the field my punting is pathetic. Whatever was changed I am not liking it... My average is way down from last season...

Ditto for me... just had 6 punts for 36.8 yards each today... no touchbacks, and the only punt that got within 15 yards of the end zone was the only one that went for 40+ (49 yards out of bounds at the 4.5). The rest of them were 30-38. And that's with 14 points in Big Boot

I have similar attributes but I'm averaging 42.9....

I have not had trouble at all this year with touchbacks and I get about 3-3.5 seconds on every punt.

Your punter (trigg if i guessed right?) is getting only about 34.5 yards a punt but is averaging a good 4+ hang on each of his kicks...I would say that he is build right and hitting good punts for you.

For his level, your punter is very good, and you don't need to worry. He is doing a good job considering the changes made this offseason and taking into account his level

I think that Bort made it so kickers and punters will be approximately top of NFL level by their ninth or tenth season. Right now he is around the bottom of the NFL in his stats and abilities, and that is about right considering his level and how long he's been around. Give him some levels and I think he'll be really good.

Matt - If you check in, PM me later when I've seen more on my Punter. I haven't kicked too many punts this season to tell you.

Hey for the guys who have had similair problems, what is your SAs looking like? I have reason to believe HangTime may be the cause of higher angles kicks that take away from the arc-length.

Also, Ceasar, thats not the punter I speak of...He is doing well for his lvl your correct though still has some major deficiencys in build. The Punter I speak of is on one of the teams I GM and I am just trying to find out for him. Plus hes not high enough lvl to have the build i described, yet.

Thanks guys let me know. Jp I will be PMn you riiiiiight NOW!

Well then I guess I could give you the canned answer of the new changes...

The Z axis and a slight adjustment of kicking/punting velocity could be the culprit. Also, if it is Scifres then, I looked at his punts and was actually confused...my only suggestion would be get some AE or CE to get Big boot up...But really, I have no clue. I would just say that it is bad bad luck to start the season...

Whose Scifres? haha

Thanks for your help man, I do appreciate it.

My SAs:
8 Calm Nerves
11 Hang Time
14 Big Boot

My average is down 10 yards from last season, and not because of touchbacks or short fields

Did you raise HangTime with your boosts this season?

no
