Is it me or did the kickers get nerfed a little too much...I can understand on FG attempts..but only 1 kickoff in our game made it to the endzone line.....most only made it to the 20...everyone will have great starting position on offense....same with punts....I think the longest i saw was only 36 yards.....

Granted I only viewed our game....but just an observation....I didn't like seeing the kickoffs out of the back of the endzone so frequently...but somewhere between the 10 and 5 yards into the end zone I'd suspect is what the kickoffs should average....

I'm more concerned about the defensive nerf when it comes to SS run defense and QB nerf than the kicker nerf

I didn't see anything specific....what are you talking about? Probably something I just didn't see....the kickers was very noticable compared to the past

Agreed, on both accounts

Yeah, kickers have gotten nerfed on their kickoff range but at least it'll mean more high scoring games. I did notice some bad missed throws on a few long passes but nothing too bad. The LB AI to cover the run when not blitzing has really improved though. They don't backup into coverage as much anymore on a run.

Yeah, I think they got hit with a big huge nerf and it concerns me. Our kicker missed a PAT in the 4th. He only missed one PAT in all of S6 (129/130), and he has a good build. IMO, there is no way a high level kicker should miss a PAT.

I figured when they nerfed kicking that it'd also have an affect on punters. From the changelog...

I actually posted a bug about that. My kicker averaged only 50 per kickoff today, he probably averaged 65 last season.

On cover 2 Shell if you blitz your SS he goes toward the sidelines and around the blockers instead of blitzing straight forward like last season.

The kickoffs are just dumb. Middle school kickers can boot it to the 20. This needs to be changed, ASAP.

Give a bonus when kicking off tee. Wouldn't affect FGs but would fix kickoffs. Solved.

Missing wide open targets 10 yards down field. Pretty stupid if you ask me.

Yea, I noticed that too, pretty much makes Cover 2 Safety run blitzes worthless.
