Touchbacks

From my exprience it seems impossible to return kicks it just always a touchback. Has anyone else been noticing or not. Punt returns seem fine but not kick returns seem impossible.

The deeper the kick into the end zone, the less likely the returner will run it out. Inversely, a player with lower intelligence will be more likely to return deep kicks.

I actually just had one do that in todays game, cant remember what league tho but he did bring it out to around the 36yd line. It was maybe the 3rd or 4th time I have ever seen a returner do that. I do have a few dumb players..lol

It would be a cool feature for returner to have if you could choose how far deep into the EZ you would return or take a knee

Hey he had that YOLO swag lol. When i play madden unless they kick it out of bounds i always return it. I'd rather take a touchdown or good field position then just a automatic 20 everytime. And if the kick return is less than 20 so be it.

In L8, in just the two games versus my division rival Detroit this season we've tallied a combined 5 KR TDs between us... so no, I'd love to see my kicker boot it out of the back of the **** end zone.
