30% reduction says who?

I just missed a 56 yd FG into the wind at Lambeau, that's my second miss from beyond 50 yds.

That accuracy point is so darn small at 50 yds or smaller, I've missed it every time.

I'm not saying FG's aren't on autopilot because they have been in the past, more so for me in the past.

I wouldn't start painting a picture of gloom and doom just, yet for the series, especially when Clint just stated for the second time they are interested in having separate modes to appease all type of fans.

That's really irrelevant.

The jist of it is that FG kicking is too easy. Virtually automatic, in fact.

This fact, especially combined with the exaggerated wind effects, really does ruin the dynamics of the game and make it a bland experience. Might as well just remove FG kicking altogether for what it's worth.

So a 10% change in the target zone automatically made it too easy? It isn't irrelevant. The metrics show people were missing a lot of kicks. So what is easy for you obviously isn't across the board. A 10% increase of the target area didn't demolish the whole system.

There will be no more random events. Everything will be up to the player. Forcing fumbles, intercepting, penalties, etc. But given that that is the ultimate focus, it shocks me that they would take any skill out of the kicking game. It really is like they are trying to needle the sim gamer. The same thing killed the fight night series. What was once a pretty decent boxing game turned into 2 people standing flat footed in the middle of the ring hunched over jabbing eachother in the belly because they nerfed everything else online because clowns were getting knocked out because they didn't know how to play and cried about it. Once the whiners got their way, they played for a couple months realized that it was monotonous, and went on to their next game leaving the boxing franchise in smoldering ashes. And unfortunately all the changes killed the sim aspects and AI in the offline game so I'm left with a coaster instead of a boxing game.

You make a good point with the last paragraph. That is exactly how I feel about Madden year after year, after several patches. The game becomes monotonous. It gets to a point where there is no strategy or true understanding of football concepts required for success. It gets to the point where ratings are no longer a factor, and the skill of the player wins out. It becomes a game built for the online gamer. I like game play that makes me think. Madden 17 was an amazing game release day. I loved it! Sadly, I don't feel it is that game anymore, and even more sad, I see it moving farther and farther away.

Says uninstalling the game, reinstalling the game without the patch, and seeing for yourself. The difference is obvious as to what it was and what it is now.

Stop saying FG kicking is too easy.

After the patch, I missed 2 50 yd plus FG's into the wind. The accuracy meter narrows the further the distance you go.

And there's no need to throw up numbers in the air to see if they stick. The kicking meter is not slower on AP for me.

You don't have the patch installed SEC, do you? Let's not go down the path that you can observe the kicking meter on twitch.

So basically you made up a number? Got it.
