Is there a particular reason this K has missed all 6 field goal attempts in his regular season games so far? Including one from 22 yards. I'm kind of at a loss right now, everytime I log in checking this K's stats has become the joke of the day for me. Is it just dumb luck or did something change this off-season, Almost all of his misses are less than 40 yards as well, which I mean he should at least be at 50% under that range at this level. Whats going on?

I see a couple of things. This early in his build you really can't expect too much.

1) Chemistry is really low.
2) CPU offensive lineman are allowing a lot of pressure on the kicker.
3) Kicking accuracy is way too low still.

As your chemistry improves and the OL levels up around you then you will see some changes. Other than that on a CPU team you are going to see really bad stats for your player. With your current kicking accuracy at your level I'd give you about 35%-42% accuracy by the end of the season. Don't get downs though my kicker is 15 levels higher than yours and he is only at 77%-79% accuracy. Even the top kickers only reach about 81% on here.

Maybe there are some hidden influences for kicking accuracy in the attributes that nobody is realizing yet.

There is.

kick 1: Consistency (down 3 points, under 3 minutes left in half, what's the surprise here?)
kick 2: Consistency (deja vu? down 3 points, 1 second left in the half.)
kick 3: Consistency (tied game)
kick 4: 47 yarder (like, you need to pipe those special team tactics down like whoa.)
kick 5: 40 yarder, down 10..probably just a miss, with a slice of pressure if there is such a thing being down in the 3rd qtr.
kick 6: probably just a miss. Under 3 mins left in game, but up 10. Probably still a slice of pressure if there is such a thing in code

Probably really only 2 decent looks this season so far and missed 'em both. Nothing really shocking here.


My superstar sophomore is 7/8 this season but had a crappy rookie year. It's just dice rolls sometimes.

Am I alone in thinking Balance/Footwork play a larger role than anyone has given credit for up until now?

BaseballGuy, that avatar is fucking hilarious.

I've gone through many a mouse thanks to that avy...

On topic: i think balance and footwork play a role, and possible other things. Snap reaction? Obviously Heart.

I have a kicker that was 70+ in Power, Acc, and consistency, and 50ish heart and he missed a lot last season in his 3rd year.

Finally made his first field goal, from 22 yards away.

3/14 so far this season. Pretty lulzy if you ask me especially since his last 3 misses (in a row) have been from 27,24, and 20 yards. Pretty much ready to retire him and say fuck it. Any middle school kicker should be able to hit a 20 yarder, I know I was kicking 30 yarders pretty automatically when I was on the middle school football team.

My guy is 6 for 18 lol

Builds are closed...but still here are my 2 kickers:

Kicker 1 - Journeyman - 78% (14/18): http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/player/95352

Kicker 2 - Sophomore - 52% (15/29): http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/player/121212

My Jman kicker still has 2 more skill caps to put into accuracy too (87 currently), so I could see his % getting up over 80 (in theory).
Sophomore kicker, which is built better (imo), has already made 3 from 50+ this season and is sitting at 64 accuracy atm.

Still think it's a fix your build issue atm...but they do seem tough to build correctly.

His accuracy and consistency are both over 50 atm
It's not even the longer kicks, it's the chip shots that he is missing that is frustrating

I believe you are over generalizing how good your Jman Kicker is Aeir. Yes, he has a good completion rate for GLB2 standards but if you look at the 40+ yard field goals, you are at 50%. Your Kicker is a great chip shot Place Kicker but at 40+ hes dicey at best.

Last season, your same kicker went 3/14 from 40-49, 21%.

I do believe its both a fix your build and a fix the sim issue. You saying its just a fix your build is wrong when looking at your Kicker's stats from 40+.

Kickers due tend to get more accurate at the Vet level but what is really sad is the lulness of having to wait 250+ days for your kicker to resemble anything descent. Watching a kicker through Rookie-Pro is like eating a sour head.

I opened my Kickers build, not sure why others are closed. Its a god damn Kicker.
