Currently I'm trying to kick it as deep as possible without getting a touchback. Forced me to stop adding points around 77 kick-off power because I started seeing too many touchbacks.

Now with the change, I'm going to have to reevaluate the situation to see if I can add a couple more. I've noticed that the power is a lot more variable... I'm seeing kicks go between 82 and 68 yards now... I wonder if they actually made kick consistency matter on kickoffs now?

Meanwhile I've got almost 80 sprinting and I'm trying to decide where to put my last cap.

Kick Consistency always mattered on kickoffs. Air Raid's previous KOS, Automatic Touchback, went from ~50% touchbacks to over 80% touchbacks during Pro season iirc because he started pumping consistency.

I'd argue it's the second or third most important skill behind kickoff power, depending on how you feel about heart powering Coverage Commander.

It wasn't that drastic, but consistency helped more than accuracy from my observations:

CC doesn't last long enough to be worth it.

WRONG!

Proof:

Last season this kicker http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/player/94917
had a TB ratio of 194/249 = 78% and he has 10 in consistency!... 10!

Ohhhh and this season for what its worth.... he is 11/11 so.... yah.... your wrong



But.... this really points out a major issue....

It's perfect on touchback plays. Last just long enough to ensure you're not eating too much energy burn while the ball sails out the back of the endzone. Makes kickoffs and punts that go for touchbacks really light on the energy damage.
