New Kicking Meter A Challenge?

Ive been playing the game since release and havent missed a FG yet. Even with lower rated kickers im not seeing that much of a difference. Anyone else having a different experience?

I'd say it's easy enough when you're paying attention, I've missed a few FG's & even an extra point with this one but it's party due to the new meter & partly because I was doing somehting else at the time.

Re: New Kicking Meter A Challenge?

I voted yes just because its more challenging than what we had before, but it still moves too slow for me. I wish we had Human and CPU kicking sliders so i could make the CPU a little more accurate and make my meter a lot more challenging. Tally up one for NCAA there.

Re: New Kicking Meter A Challenge?

I posted this on the demo, as I didn't see any change in difficulty. It wasn't the mechanism that was broken in Madden 10, it was the calculations. Instead of fixing the problem (the calculations / tuning of the analog stick) they simply replaced the stick. It's sad, because it's clear by their 'solution' that they didn't even understand the fundamental problem with FG kicking.

Re: New Kicking Meter A Challenge?

Its not really a challenge as much as its a cause of frustration. I can knock through 50+ yarders with ease when all is fine and good. But then you get those fun times when the games frame-rate issues crop up just as you start the kicker meter and you're left missing an extra point because of a defect in the game (or the lag online). I like the kick meter better than the old meter because before what kicker you picked didnt really matter and now it does, I just wish it worked right 100% of the time and wasnt janky and busted.

Challenging isnt the word for it, I've had nothing but problems with it and it doesnt matter if I'm online or offline, sometimes the meter stops but most of the time it never stops and I shank every kick! the old style worked better imo...
