Around what strength for a kicker do they start getting touchbacks? I figure if I can start kicking touchbacks, it'll help my team a lot more with field position. I've got Big Boot at level 5, and strength at 41.11.

I believe that in all things dealing with a kicker, that kicking is the first place you should look. While I'm sure strength plays a factor, not as much of one as you'd think.

My guy has less big boot and less strength than you and averages 63 yards a kickoff with a touchback 20% of the time.

More kicking will help but you'll get a touchback most of the time (2/3 or so) if you get your strength to the 48 soft cap and two or three more in big boot.

I've basically got the same strength and Big Boot as you.

I've only kicked one touchback and it was an obvious fluke.

Typically my kicks are 15 yards shorter than the one touchback I had.

I'm glad I read this though. Thanks Agent TBC!

I kicked a 70+ yard kickoff for a touchback today and then later I can only kick a 54 yard kickoff.

this game is weird

I usually come out kicking 70-80 yard touchbacks, then after the half, I'm back to the 50-60 range.
I guess its a stamina thing.

or a confidence thing. I have noticed that I get much longer kick offs after a big play for a TD. When I return a kick off or punt for TD, its almost always a touchback on the next kick off.

Touchbacks are very random, though the more kicking+strength you have the better chance you have of getting a touchback. I'm sure confidence and vision have a part in that as well. My kicker was making touchbacks with strength in the mid-20's before kicking was altered this past offseason.
