Have there been some setting changes? This guy can't kick to save his life.
Any help?

More big boot, and train stamina.

I've not found any good solution for hitting 50+ consistently.

Just curious, why do you have Football Genius instead of Soccer Star?

All of them were missed wide so it's not a strength issue. Likely just bad rolls. In your second game this season, stamina being 8 might have contributed.

because even with the uber build.. no matter lvl 4 or lvl 72.. you are gonna mis a FG here and there.

until Bort fixes kickers.

Are you implying their should be a time when kickers make every field goal above 50 yards? Because most professional kickers don't make them all the time.

I don't think he's implying that. I think he's implying that 50+ are about as random as XPs. At high levels there's not much that differentiates a good kicker build from a bad one. Course we don't know quite what a bad build is, but you'd think there'd be some differentiation.

Has anyone ever seen a replay showing a kick missing short? I haven't. I'm thinking that when the RNG decides a kick is missed, it just automatically uses a "miss left" replay.

Since most kickers in upper levels hit XPs around 96-97%...I'm going to have to say 50+'s aren't like XPs at all. Hitting 50+ yard field goals should be random as hell. It's insanely hard to do in real life.

it seems to happen a lot more in real life than it does here.

Bingo...I've noticed that most of the kicks you missed was because your guy was fatiguing due to low stamina, which in result created a bad roll for you to make the field goals...stamina is essential in all players whether its being a Punter for only 15 plays or a Runningback for +100 plays... Kickers need stamina nonetheless...

What I meant was hitting 50+ yarders doesn't seem to be as much a product of build as it is a product of luck. Same goes for XPs. I wasn't trying to imply that they're hit at the same rate.
