Why do my field goals consistently fall short?

I'm really hoping someone can help me figure out what is going on here. My field goals consistently fall short. Anything over 35 yards is basically a guaranteed miss because of this. It's like the kicker develops some sort of noodle leg. It happens despite accuracy 'in the green' and power 'not in the red'. It happens with both tap/hold and tap/tap controls. It happens both home games and away games. I have tested with multiple kickers from multiple teams. It has made the kicking game basically impossible for me.



Here's a video of a recent game. Kicker in this video has 86 power and 68 accuracy:

This only happens in dynasty mode - I can reproduce it in game and in dynasty practice. But I cannot reproduce this in 'open practice' from the main menu, even using the same kicker. Am I missing something about dynasty mode that would cause this to happen? Any help is appreciated!

Slider setting maybe? Maybe somehow it got lowered?

I'm using Armor's sliders, kick power at 50 / kick accuracy 32.

I am also using Armor's sliders, and I have not seen this. If anything, I've seen the opposite, where my kicker is easily able to make 50 yarders. Do you have the sliders set up in dynasty? Or only in the main slider section, outside of dynasty mode?

Thanks, yes I do have the sliders set in dynasty mode, Dynasty Central -> Gameplay Sliders. Should I set them outside of dynasty mode as well or does it not matter?

I don't believe it matters. I only have them set in Dynasty, so that shouldn't be the issue, then. It could be some other slider. I know back in the day, people said that penalty sliders would affect some of the gameplay sliders. Are you using Armor's penalty sliders, as well?

I have my kicking sliders up for power because I was seeing the same thing.

Try holding the left analog (PS5) stick down, to lower the trajectory. I have to do that for anything 38yds +, and it works all the time. Well, longest FG I have attempted is 56yds, and I made it with 85 power. So give that a shot.
