Here's my kicker

http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=365695

What can I do to improve his kickoffs. I'm barely getting any kicks to the endzone. Can someone offer some advice?

more kicking, more confidence, more strength, more vision in that order. Big boot is worthless.

Yeah, after getting it to 6 I seen that it hasn't done jack. The extra 2 came from adv equipment. Wish i could get a refund on my build points.

I disagree. I think too many people expect unreal results from SAs and instead write them off as "worthless."

i also have to disagree, when they did the initial nerf of the kickers, my i didn't hit a touch back for 3 games. when i went from 8 to 9 for big boot, i started kicking touch backs again, a lot more of them. coincidence? i think not

I guess it's working for you, but not as well as raw stats.

This post season your L38 K has 19 kickoffs, 14 TBs (74%) with 9 in big boot.

My L37 K has 26 kickoffs, 21 TBs (81%) with 3 in big boot.

I never said that raw stats were better "b/c we know they are," but you said that big boot was worthless, i'm just saying that big boot helps

Ok, let me rephrase....

In order to achieve maximum kicking distance in both kickoffs and field goals the optimal path is through raw stats. You can spend points on big boot if you want but you will see significantly less value than if you boost the correct stats. The kicker with the longer leg in the game puts close to 90% of his kickoffs (against competitive teams) into the end zone for touchbacks. He has a 1 in Big Boot.

...hopefully that won't upset anyone who thinks Big Boot is the way to go.
