FGs = I stink at them

[Blade]

I missed 2 FGs in my preseason game vs the Jags. I have Akers, and i missed a 45 and a 41. The first one fell short, I had lowered the trajectory. The second one, the meter sorta had a hiccup, so messed up my teaming on stopping the meter and fell short again.

Have you guys messed with the sliders for KPW or KAC?

Don't wanna be a dick, but you may have to practice on your kicking. I think it's still fairly easy to make FG's in this game.

Had the same problem with Folk, he doesnt make anything longer than 44 yds. Even tho hes famous for his 50+ yd clutch kicks.

I turned the kicking power to 60 and its helped, barely.

You Michael J. Fox?

Its really really easy, I don't think I've missed a field goal since my first day of playing. I can kick with Sebastion 60+ Field Goals... 10 out 10 times. It's one of the only things I'm decent at..:elephant:

Akers really sucks in this game. I'm having a hard time with him too, if it's any consolation Blade.
Anything outside 49 is pretty much guaranteed to miss.

I've hit 50+ yarders with Folk online, but it was always perfect on the meter. Are you guys lowering the trajectory of the kick?

Vinatieri I struggle with though, I can't hit anything from ~47 or longer

[mfbmike]

lol, I'm fuckin with you. I can't hit anything past 48 yards with Rian Lindell of the Bills.

But god damn a mental image of Michael J. Fox trying to guide a kick through the uprights with that analog sticks had me rofling

[FlawLeSs]

the saints kicker is horrible, missing from the middle of the field from 45 yards out

Ok cool........I was wondering if Akers was weak in this game too. Oh well, I will just have to be smart next time and bring the FG distance within 30 or so.

Most of these guys responding are talking about Top 5 kickers in Bironas and Janikowski so I will take their advice with a grain of salt.

Also, I haven't had a problem hitting FGs online yet, but they were under 40 yds. And yes, I will practices more.

I think some people just have a predisposed inability to be able to kick field goals. It's like engraved in their brain not to be able to do it. Just like some people with math.

I have a friend who has struggled with field goals ever since about 1991 at every single Madden. We've actually practiced it with him and for some reason he still misses 1/2 of his kicks. Its the funniest damn thing ever. It's like panic sets in.

Its annoying when the meter actually has a hiccup on the way up, and in turn your timing is thrown off to stop that damn meter. Thats what happened on my second FG, otherwise I probably woulda made it.
