I'm missing long field goals.

39 and less I'm doing well. Would like to improve my long distance accuracy.

Already have big boot to 8 and calm nerves to 6.

What stats should I be focusing on to improve?

Lets see your build. This was my stat line from when I was your level, so I reckon if you open up your build I can really help, one thing is that your specials are way to high

14 POR HOU W50-0 5 6 1/1 0/0 1/1 2/3 1/1 5 5 0
15 POR MON W13-32 4 5 0/0 2/2 1/1 1/1 0/1 2 3 0
16 POR NEW W12-30 3 3 1/1 1/1 0/0 1/1 0/0 3 3 0
17 POR DAL L12-13 4 6 0/0 0/0 2/2 0/1 2/3 0 0 1
18 POR GEO W26-3 4 5 0/0 0/0 2/2 1/1 1/2 2 2 0
19 POR NEW W3-51 3 3 0/0 1/1 1/1 0/0 1/1 6 6 0
20 POR CHI W46-10 4 5 1/1 1/1 1/1 1/1 0/1 4 5 0

Rayn21, your guy is suffer from serious lack of confidence and kicking. Sadly, your guy fell into the trap that kicker special abilities make more of a difference than raw stats.

Push as hard as you can to get kicking to the +4 cap and confidence to the +3 cap.

It's a toss up whether it's your kicking or your confidence that is the problem. I would probably take confidence up first to the +2 cap and then kicking up to the +4 cap.

Ok, thanks for the input. I didn't realize confidence affected accuracy so dramatically.

Actually I think you do, my level 20 kicker is only a few points better than this guy

To the OP I'd go kicking for two levels and strength for another few levels

Hrm...I'm really trying to figure this thing out. Confidence really seems to have improved my kickers accuracy, but maybe it's all my kicking.

I don't have great strength, but I'm getting AND hitting, low 50's now with about half my kickoffs as touch backs. As he is right now, he's deadly accurate I really don't want to screw that up by adding more STR than he knows what to do with.

K's are all gonna be nerfed next season anyways, so who knows what might hold the key to better kicking then.

mind if I ask your approximate kicking/strength/confidence/vision ratio?

Well me and Packman had a recent chat and our builds are kinda flipped

He has 8:6:3:3 K:C:S:V and I have 8:6:4:3 K:S:C:V

we both have really kickers although I think mine is a tad better

The top three kickers in my league today when 3/4, 5/8 and 3/5! They were all banging 90%+
