I am creating a kicker and notice there is no automatic listed as a special ability, but it is showing up on my punter?

And for my kicker it’s giving me an option to select hang time?

Then I move to make a punter and it doesn’t give me the hang time option, but it will allow me to select automatic?

I have unchecked to see all options. Am I in some kind if bizarro world?

automatic is already in a kicker's SA tree so no need to add it as an extra SA.

hang time is already in a punter's SA tree so no need to add it as an extra SA.

neither is a good choice as an extra SA for the dots.

Ahh I guess I should have looked there first. Forgot they have special ability issues.

liez

he'll send you dick pics

like most things related to ST, kickers/punters got hosed because there are no good options for the extra special ability. i had hoped 1st step would be good, but as soon as i added it, my kicker started missing kicks he routinely had made prior. just pick anything and dont put anything into it. still laugh when i see superior vision selected and put points into. its as if they didnt read the description....lol

Meh,

The descriptions dont always tell the whole story of an SA. Like you said, there really are no worthwhile extra SAs for kickers so I added it as an experiment. I did wind up with a few points in there because there are only so many things you can do with points for a kicker. Could certainly be unrelated. But that kicker was one of the most accurate kickers at 50+ I ever built.

What if to "get that jump on a tackle, or get that jump on an INT" is merely a simple flat vision bonus to the dot. A flat vision bonus would certainly do what the description says so the description would not necessarily be inaccurate.

1 test dot is clearly not enough of a sample size to determine anything, but as cryptic as bort is with game mechanics, it would not shock me if there were a benefit.

i seem to recall that bort or catch22 had confirmed that the description on superior vision was accurate and that it was useless for any thing else..

There should be a ball kicking SA

Found it.. for me

Um... crazy as it might seem, for either one, I'd go with either Diving Tackle (#1) or Wrap Up Tackle (#2). Last punter I built I actually built as a Tackler as much as a punter since, once at plateau, the only time you need an 80 yard punt is if your offense sucks that bad on a regular basis and your defense has trouble stopping your opponents. Otherwise, you should be going for mid-field punts more often than not and dropping them in deep behind the 20. A Tech build worked well for that and I regularly was in the top 5 in pinning them deep stats every season. Also made more tackles than all the other punters as well because I had just enough speed and tackling skill to make it work (along with Diving Tackle SA).
Maybe you don't wanna build a dot like that but your punter and/or kicker IS going to be out there and occasionally trying to make a tackle when needed... might as well have a useful SA for helping that out.

I agree with Theo. I did that on a Kicker once, and while it wasn't game-changing, it was useful.

remember when bort did Q&As? good times
