Should punters with 84 accuracy really be doing this? http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/replay/114513/3287486

Right now punting accuracy is a fucking joke stat that does nothing, while power punters are booting it 80 yards in the upper tiers. Hell, even Journeyman teams have kicked it 70+ yards on me. At least make it so the power punters have a chance of shanking it with no accuracy/consistency investment. This is something pretty much everyone in the community knows needs fixing yet no one has mentioned anything about actually fixing it.

Punting is joke right now. Just had a scrim where the opposing punter standing on his 2 yard line punted one that landed on the opposite goal line... I mean srsly? 84 yard punt from LoS, 98 from the punter. So I'm not rewarded with good field position at all after a good defensive stop, just reset to your own 20 and move on...

Unfortunately it's private, but corndog can see it at least.

99 yrad punt... http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/replay/57636/2265316 just sayin'...

btw, the NFL record is 98 yards, from back in the 60s... There have only been 5 punts with 90+ yards... http://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/punt_long_single_season.htm

The one against me was all in the air... no bounce heh. Landed on the goal line.

But the punter was lined up more than 10 yards deeper...

Fixing punting would make this game MUCH more dimensional.

+9000, fix punting.

Returners are useless past pro level. You get the occasional kick off return but never a punt return.

Nerf punt power impact and buff accuracy impact!

Here is a different punt related issue : http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/replay/114840/90442?player_id=5054

Yeah, shanked punts from power punters would suck, but it would make sense. And more angled punts in general would be awesome!

I agree. Punt power has been OP since the very beginning. The argument will be that if punt power is nerfed then rookie punters will suck. Fine, let rookie punters suck. It doesn't take long to start making improvements.

I'm ok with stuff like this. Even the best punters in the NFL and Pros muff snaps.

Absolutly agree, why would you get rid of muffed snaps?

And real shanked punts would be nice, to get some kind of balance between accurate und power punters. Btw, there are some kind of shanked punts already:

(Still both punts are better, compared to just plain punting it in the endzone )
