Could people please stop whining about the kicking? It is season one. Nobody consistently hits field goals and nobody punts the ball 50 yards. Both Kicker and Punter have public stats; I challenge you to think up a better build for either.
I've asked around about the punting and dumping a lot of points into the punting statistic should up distance and consistency. This is what I have planned. Strength apparently is of much lesser importance than many people thought.
For our kicker I've got decent strength decent kicking decent vision and a bunch of points in automatic. At the moment our kicker is 100% from within 30 yards and hasn't missed a PAT since week 2 so maybe you should thank him for the consistent production he HAS had. 30-40 is a low percentage kick at the moment and 40+ is unmakable. He will get better with time.
On a side note, as cool as it would have been to advance, this was our last playoff home game anyways so we milked all the money we can out of it and now our players get to train on intense (something they couldn't have done otherwise). Our team is theoretically better off having lost because the only thing we had to gain by continuing was the league trophy itself.
