Warrior General Games

Any ideas? To me, this seems like a solid build but he hasn't hit anything over 40 all year. More in SA's maybe?

What's his Equipment in. I think STR could use a boost, as well as vis and even conf but i need to know equipment layout to make the right call. Your VAs are all wrong, stop putting points in booming kick as STR is only 53 anyways.

Equip is all in kicking. I'm working on getting strength to 60 next, but I would hope over 50 would be good enough to hit a 40 yarder.

Yeah its the biggest weak spot on your character and it could be the reason you are missing them. Your VAs aren't helping your kicking either, I'd recommend some swagger, a point of clutch, and maybe moving one of your equipment over to vision to make your guy a bit more well rounded.

My (at the time) level 8 kicker hit a 40.5 yarder and a 39 yarder today. He has 20 str.
My point is that you dont know that you're missing because you're not kicking the ball far enough, what if its because you are putting it wide because your vision isn't high enough?

Strength is overrated. My level 18 is 5/10 40-49 with 12 strength.

Don't change your equipment, either. Keep it 100% kicking.

i'm seriously doubting the value of strength. mines at 60 cap, and i'm starting to feel thats a bit of a waste.

do you guys know if vision helps with accuracy much? i mean, how much vision do you need to see the uprights? its not like a kicker has to read the movement of other players

you would think that with increased strength would come some accuracy improvements. the stronger you are, the less effort is needed to make the distance, hence less chance of error.

Not enough kicking and agility imo. My level 25 K's attributes are all lower than yours except he has higher kicking and agility and he's kicked 4 40+ yard FG with just 18 strength and 0 SAs.

Calm Nerves IMO.

If anyone thinks strength is important compare these two kickers and their 40+ FG%

http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=923730 30.5 str 1/8 S8 1/13 career

I'm to the point now where I'm not spending any SP in strength, going to keep pumping con/kicking, even with it costing 9SP.

Even though strength may not be as needed for FGs, it's still handy for kickoffs. I'd rather hit a touchback than let the returner gain 40 yards. Are there kickers with low strength making a good number of touchbacks?

It looks really good. LOL! That's a secret

I will tell ya that my guy doesn't have a noodle leg. Strength matters. Keep in mind he's also L48 and in his 7th season.

Depends what you class as high strength. My guy has 63 STR with Equip and seems to get quite alot of touchbacks and can nail long FG's.
