So it's never happened in the history of college football?

CPU made a 60 yarder on me with ease...and he was iced.

The kicking on default is so bad. A 99 overall kicker should kick it 60 at most, not 75 overalls. I do know USC's kicker can't make 45+ yarders though, so they did fix it a bit.

i think the real record is like 62 or 63 by martin gramatica at k state. could be wrong though. i know alex henery has made 60 yarders before in warm ups. he made a 57 yarder against CU last year but 63? its bad because hes rated an 89 in the game. 99 should barely make a 60 yard fg

if it makes you feel any better, the kid from Nebraska is one of the best FG kickers in the nation. He hit a 57 yarder just last year...

63 might be a tad much though.

the kicking game is dumb. there are guys in the nfl who can't make kicks from 45+ out but the cpu is money time and time again from anywhere if hey attempt it. and yes i kno this is a video game. leg strength should be toned way down for the default sliders.
