CPU Kickers are crazy good.

[bDoddleS]

Playing against Liberty just now and Nick Brown hits a 63 yard FG to end the half, but he's only at 86 kick power, with a IRL long of just 49 so far in his career.

I'm using Matt10's sliders where kick power is at default and I'm on Heisman.

I love this game, and these players feel like college players, but the CPU kickers are HOF level kickers.

I use 35/30 for fg sliders. You have to jack up the kickoff power to 100 then accept touchbacks

I dropped FG power to 45 for the CPU last set update for this reason. Realized I didn't have the right text in the thread, but graphic was correct.

Re: CPU Kickers are crazy good.

I have FG power at 35, and accuracy at 40. They struggle on the hashes. But I will say, even with it at 35, guys with 88 power are still hitting 50-55 yarders. The power slider definitely has an effect on them, but it feels like affects my kickers more than theirs. Cause I've come up short, or narrowly hit, from 50-53 yards with kickers that have 96 power. Which is why I don't wanna turn the sliders down further. Cause it feels like I won't be able to hit from 50 ever, and they'll still be able to. But turning down the power seems to have mostly eliminated the 55+ I was seeing regularly.

This is the biggest thing for me on the FG power slider for dynasty. I like where my personal kicking skill as a user is at, but for CPU I'd have to lower it way down that it affects me too much.

Re: CPU Kickers are crazy good.

I use Matt's sliders as well, absolutely great set btw

My only difference is I have cpu at 20/20. FCS team went 3/3 55,56,59. Next game VT kicker kicked a 65 yarder. I don't think this is really a slider issue, but a game issue. Even back in ncaa 06 u had to throttle the sliders to actually make them miss kicks. However in this game it doesn't seem to make much of a difference

I'm guessing the cpu slider has no effect in dynasty

Re: CPU Kickers are crazy good.

Speaking of kicking, is there a way to fair catch between the 1 and 25 yard line for a touchback?

Re: CPU Kickers are crazy good.

Heisman, I have Power at 50 and accuracy at 40... The CPU rarely misses, expect when on the road and the ball on the hash.

My guess is since the sliders only have one setting, they only affect the human player. Funny thing is, when I play, the CPU hits from 50+, but seems to miss the 20 yard and closer FGs more often.

Re: CPU Kickers are crazy good.

College kickers are notoriously bad and the fact that there is no USER/CPU special teams sliders and just one set for both is super annoying. I’ve seen too many 50+ yarders made with ease against me.

B to select returner
Y to call fair catch (same as punt returns)

Yes, close & wide hash kicks the CPU seems to miss a lot against me, that's the only ones they really miss. Almost like they are coded to not kick that far right or left

Re: CPU Kickers are crazy good.

The kicking game is extremely flawed and had to have been ignored. The CPU misses from inside the 20 from the hash because the aiming arrow doesn't cover a wide enough range. I'm almost thinking they dropped in some old kicking system but never did anything to make up for the wider hashes in the college game.

Re: CPU Kickers are crazy good.

I play on AA… Kicking Power 51, Kicking Acc on 38. Overall, I like how much the CPU misses and how difficult it challenges me @ the same time. My only issue is the CPU does miss a little too much from the hashes, 17-25 yard range.

Re: CPU Kickers are crazy good.

It's funny because a 60+ yarder from straight on is nearly a guaranteed hit for the heisman CPU, but a 20 yarder from the far hash is like a 50/50 kick for them.

One time the CPU was driving on me at the end of a half with no timeouts. I tackled them in bounds with 2 secs left and they were able to get their FG unit on the field and drill a 65 yarder in the rain before the clock ran out.
