Kicking back to automatic, why?

[kodiak]

Even the game out of the box had FG accuracy problems for the CPU. They still didn't miss enough inside of 50. Now if the slider wasn't broken, maybe that would alleviate it but the FG accuracy slider hasnt worked right for a couple years now.

Pretty lame response. Bigger fish to fry would mean there are more glaring issues than a broken slider and unrealistic % for the sim crowd. Would a basketball game be credible if everyone shot 98 to 100% free throw % in franchise and didn't have a slider to fix it?

Out of the box I was seeing the ai miss especially in the rain but they nerfed out the weather effects first and then finished it off with the last patch. It's a game killer to have everything virtually automatic inside 50 yards. Takes all the drama out of close games at the end.

I agree that the sliders need fixed and they also need an explanation right on them as to how they work, something that btw I noted in my EA Sports Madden 17 playtest that I completed, but I don't agree kicking is in any way, shape or form "automatic" because for me it is not and I am not hearing that it is from my friends either.

I'm not saying its not automatic for some of you guys, I'm sure it may be, but in general it's not an issue for the majority of people who play the game and therefor it is a "small fish" in regards to what EA needs to look at addressing in this version.

OK lets focus on realism here. In the NFL Sunday night game there were two field goals of under 30 yards missed in OT. There have been 23 Extra Points missed this year.

11 Teams have FG% under 80%. 4 Teams are under 70%.

The EA team said they wanted to focus on realism and making special teams special again. There is no way to achieve these numbers with kicking game in its current state and a broken slider. It's more than a big fish to fry, it's the whale in the room if you focus on realism.

This now is my biggest beef with the game. I can find work arounds for almost everything else, but there is no fixing this with sliders or traits.

EA told us special teams would be special again, they even highlighted the Minnesota Kicker missing a chipshot in the play-offs. The kicking system was great fro offline users out of the box.

How can we get that gameplay back. The game is unplayable knowing all you have to do is get to the 30 yard line in a tight ball game in the 4th quarter and you are automatically going to win. They took away all they late game dramatic dynamic gameplay. You aren't going to fumble, and you are going to make the kick every time.

It's killing me knowing we had something we begged for for years, and it was just patched right out of the game.

I guess I just suck at kicking then, LOL, well it's not automatic for me is all I'm saying. I definitely am fine with the way it is but yes, I would like the slider to be fixed if it's not working right (I've never messed with it)

I just booted a 52 yard field while missing the sweet spot with no problem. I even have Field Goal Accuracy set to 33. I love the direction they tried to go to but then the nerfs came due to latency for online games. I hope in the near future offline will be treated differently than online. I would be happy if they would adjust field goal accuracy so we can tune it ourselves.
