Depends what you mean. I've never really noticed a deterioration in my play toward the end of the game, and even when I have lots of kicks close together it only seems to affect my PATs. My stamina is only 15. Certainly people should be training it a bit, but don't go overboard.

15's really all you need.

agree... I think "cane boy" says that because most people got like 11...

I'm thinking of training it to around 20 on my kicker, when ever I miss an XP its in a game with 6 or so XPs

i dont know... i think 15 is really enough and puttthem points in automatic... would be a better choice

What's the point, then? It's not like those XPs will matter. As Randy says, put them in Automatic, which may save you from missing a short field goal when in matters.

Automatic, unfortunately, is not quite such a sure thing.

And why bother bringing this up? He said "training it to around 20," not put hard skill points into it... Last time I checked (about 5 seconds ago), you can't train a Special Ability.

Mine's at 17, I don't think I'll get it much higher. It definitly shouldn't be left at 10 though.

It is underated. Seen some builds with 30 stamina and they are money. Seen some build with 20 ish and they are money too. Who the fuck knows. MY kicker just fucked up a playoff game with a missed 37 yarder. He hasnt missed one of those in 2 seasons. FUCK!

30 is just a waste. Unless you're playing gutted teams more often than not, you don't need more than 15-20 or so. I'm sticking at ~16 for now, since I generally lose only 5-10 stamina per game.

True enough, but I reckon you'll get better returns from training up speed/agility/jumping after about 15 (and given that high stamina kickers need to get those up as well, you might be spending SPs on them which could go in Automatic). The only time really high stamina will make a difference is if you're kicking loads of extra points, in which case you won't need the points. You're sacrificing close games to do better in the walkovers. Makes no sense.
