1) -100 to +100 distance slider for kick off distance, ranging between the opposing 30yrd line and the end of the EZ to protect against 'on-side' kicks.
2) -100 to +100 directional slider for kick off left/right. This would allow special teams to try and stack one side of the field to try and limit exceptional returners or pin the KR team deep.
EDIT: An excellent suggestion was made that if the the slider is used and the K boots the KO out of bounds, the receiving team starts at the 40yrd line to mirror NFL rules. This would allow some resistance and consequences against consistent coffin corner KOs.

+1 to this.
i think ST would be paid attention to more if htere were more options and it was a bigger part of the game. While this idea is cool, it would need to be implemented with the proper tools for A) the kick off team to compensate for kicker directional aims and B) the return team would need to have a tactical setting that lets them be balanced or return right/left/middle.
couple this suggestion with proper STOP SA trees, and special teams could actually be a place for excitement for everybody aside from the agent of the returner. It would also make STC's earn their money by scouting opposing ST units to gameplan/compensate for teams that kick only to one side and stack that side with FF gunners.
