My longest was 51 yards, did it twice in one game. Touchbacks killed the average though.

I'll be honest, I don't think Punting plays as big a role as everyone thinks. 90 punting is great and all, but when your strength is 10 and your averaging 30 yards a punt, maybe you need to rethink your strategy?

I average 41 yards a punt this season so far...

Strength: 58
Punting: 60

Special Abilities: 4-4-4

It's not about jacking up one ability to 100 and see who gets there first...its about mixing. A WR with 80 speed and 25 agility is going to suck at turning, no matter how fast he is.


I have about the same numbers as that but my average is under 30.

Wait, no I don't. My strength is only 45. Maybe that is the problem.

Punting is more important than strength.

Strength: 37
Puntin: 65
SA: 3-3-4

I'm increasing my SA to 4-4-4 and strength to 48 and see what I avg then

I'll poop out a 50yd every once in a while, for a touchback

I dunno what to say. The only thing I dislike (/love) about this game is the random inconsistencies. Two guys with the same build will fare completely differently. My special teams I play with is great, so that might be why I average good punts.

If you punt a 40 yarder, and your special teams lets them return it 20 yards, then you only "Average" a 20 yard punt. You really have to rely on the guys around you.

Hey, not to point anyone out, but this is a prime example of a guy with-

Special Abilities: 8-8-8
Punting: 92
Strength: 32

Yards/ Punt: 36.2

Not bad, but imagine what could be done with 60 strength as well...

Current Average 38.4

Punting 82.38
Strength 48.31
7-5-5

Vision is also really important for consciency. Remeber your punter performace is dependent on the offense of your team, if they are going really well like my team did last season, you will only get to punt limitedly for a limited amount of distance.

Averages aren't the be all and end all. I try and see how many no returns I get to get an idea on my punter.

i have had about 3 or 4 that have been 58 yarders.. my punting avg is currently 38.1 in 73 punts so i think that is consistent.. i normally boot them for like 45 yards but touch backs bring back my avg..

Return yards are not factored into your average yards per punt. Touchbacks, however, will cost you 20 yds.
