In the NFL, punters use a special technique when trying to pin the other team deep. It would be cool if GLB2 had an ability for punters where balls that land inside the 10 have a chance to bounce straight up, or backwards, much like a wedge shot in golf.

I agree with this whole heartedly.

If I were to learn that it does already exist...but doesn't kick in until 80 punt accuracy - that would make sense as well...but I would think there would be a CHANCE of a good bounce no matter what the skill....even if it is only 1% (in which case someone would have seen it fire)

Maybe a skill that increases chance for a better bounce while also increasing chance for a botched punt (10, 20 yards out of bounds....happens irl tbh)

I agree the bounce right not on punts inside the 20 is ridiculous

Adding SAs seems like the kind of thing that should be (relatively) easy to do as good ideas like this come along. I hope it'd come with a free (SA-only) respec for punters, though.

I was literally about to suggest this, punting team gets the perfect bounce every time and its crazy.

+1 to op

I'm not convinced it should be an SA. I could see an SA that fires from accuracy and increases the chance of a good bounce....

But (as an example) - a Punter - no matter the accuracy level - should occasionally get a non "straight ahead at full speed" bounce

In the big picture - this is clearly a minor thing. It could be that programming bounce options is too much of a pain - I don't know.

Bounce on sky punts currently always goes forward; however, with enough accuracy and punt hands, those sky punts can be downed by contact on the one yard line. If you don't get there in time, the punt goes out into the endzone.

Watch my punter's replays, he gets quite a few of them.
