I'm thinking about trying it. I mean, my punter has 42 confidence, 21 vision, 74 punting and 52 strength... how much more does he really need?

I've been thinking on putting my kicker on punting training for a while and seeing if he could be a decent punter. I'vee nothing else thats really more valuable to train

Speed and agility? Especially agility.

I made a kicker, signed with a team that also signed another K, so I volunteered to punt. Waste of time, the kicking tree is wrong, and all the points I put in P are just sitting there, off to the side. If I had just kicked I would have 25+ points spread amongst my attributes.

That was my first season, the other kicker left and I am now a full time K. I created a punter so that he wouldn't have to do both.

The #1 kicker in GLB spent half his career as a K/P.

How much XP should a kicker expect from a game? Mine is averaging 85 per game and I train for 65 per day. At this rate I will never level any more. Is there something else I can do?

All depends. My kickers get over 100 per game, usually with 10 to 15 plays. It helps if you are on a team that scores well, especially if you can get in a few FG. I have had a game where my P got 0 xp as we didn't punt at all.

@ level 27, I'm sure we'll all have numbers like that.

I complained about not getting enough time on the field with my kicker (he was only getting 15xp per game from the opening kickoff), so he doubled as the punter for a few games before he was traded. Even with just 10 under punting and 45 strength he averaged like 22 yards per punt. Plus then I got upwards of 200xp per game... we punted a lot.
