    FG kicking

    It’s honestly my only gripe. It’s impossible.

    Re: FG kicking

    Go to practice mode and just keep kicking 45-yard field goals. Try from every angle. I've been terrible at kicking so far, but I started to get the hang of it after I practiced it a bunch. It's honestly not a bad system in my opinion.

      Re: FG kicking

      First game, I missed a couple but with each game after getting used to it, have done well. Initially thought I would hate it, but now I actually like it better than the past kicking meter, just feels right to me. Have even seen cpu kickers miss kicks, even short ones which makes sense to me in college.

        Difficult yes, but impossible? not hardly.

          Most rewarding kicking game I e ever played. Ratings really matter. The kicker for Boise State is automatic for me, but my OSU kicker I feel about 50/50 on any decent sized kick I need to take. I love it

            I switched to tap and tap instead of tap and hold, I can fare a bit better

                I love the kicking in this game, finally it's not automatic.

                  Field goal Kicking is the best it’s ever beeen in an EA game.

                  During the beta for Madden I was abysmal. Frustrating but it was a curve on a new mechanism. Now I’ve gotten better within 7-8 games played.

                  Hopefully it remains at the current skill gap



                  College kickers are pretty horrendous as well. Check their numbers guys are pushing 60-69% near the top end over the last handful of seasons.

                    I'm loving this new kicking. I've only wmade 1 out of 6 attempts, 2 hitting the upright and even missed acouple xp's. Just got to keep plugging away. This time next week, it should be a lot easier.

                      I'm honestly loving the kicking. Bad kickers are horrible lol and I like it. There are not many legit college kickers, so I think it's well done EA.

                        In the same vein, I like the new kicking system, but don’t like the fact that my punter can only kick it about 20-25 yards. Same with the kickoff guy. It takes away from the realism for me

                          Its not impossible at all, we are all just used to it being automatic points. I've had defensive stops where the CPU missed kicks. I've missed kicks and best of all I had a game winning decent distance kick that I wasn't sure I was going to make and that's how it should be.

                            I LOVE the kicking in the game (even though I’m HORRIBLE at it so far). In 14 I couldn’t even kick my own FGs as they were automatic and would be made 100% of the time as long as I was in range, so I had to supersim my FGs (which also sucked as the CPU would go for it instead if from long range).

                            So far I’ve made about 15% of my FGs and missed 2 XPs, but I know I’ll figure it out.

                            True (and hilarious) story:
                            I was Michigan on the road at Navy. I tried a 53 yard FG and the side to side accuracy meter was going lightning fast, so not surprisingly I missed the kick. BUT, I missed it so badly that I literally kicked the ball out of bounds past the sideline!

                            Worst FG miss in history!

                              Regardless of your kickers ratings I’m pretty sure you’re doing it wrong if that’s the max you are able to kick/punt.
