How important is the Kick Holder in regards to the success of the kick? Can the holder impact the accuracy or power of the kick?

It impacts the accuracy. It's not significant, but it does have an effect.

Normally my punter is my kick holder. I've checked one of my leagues and it's my MLB. My punter has a 5 in Kick Holder while the MLB has a 60. I went in and checked all my leagues and usually the punter avg 90+ in kick holding. Weird!!

Punters and QB's are assigned a completely random value from 0 to 100 for kick holding irrespective to their overall rating.

MLB of 60 I hope was one that was generated a long time ago, if not I'll need to look at that because he shouldn't get a rating that high.

He was created 3 years ago! On my Seattle team Cust-35 It actually says 30 in Kick Holding but when I put him at that position it's a 60.....

You might check your weights for kick holder just to make sure something's not awry there
