Re: DT FG what?

My starting defensive tackle did all the kicking (not punts) in my game....no idea why, My kickers were active, in the starting lineup and uninjured.

Fortunately it's preseason....Anybody seen this before?

At least I know who my emergency kicker will be...he made 2/3 fgs with a long of 44 and 3/6 xps.....not great, but not too bad for a DT. lol

In the International Football League, during preseason I had OL players playing at QB. Actually I had a LG complete a 72 yard TD pass. That was great!

In my situation I think it came down to player conditioning, my fatigue settings, which were really low values (I like to get as many players playing as I can during preseason), and injuries. I'm not sure if that's really what it was, but it makes some sense.

Did you have 1 kicker as #1 for KO, and the other as #1 for FGs?

If so, both got pulled based on your "pull starters" settings. At that point, it's pretty much random who will end up kicking for you.

Make sure your fatigue settings for kickers and punters are set to 100. And, make sure you are not pulling your kicker and punter with a big lead.

Yup....looks like this is what happened...didn't notice it, because my team didn't do any kicking in the 1st quarter when my starters were still in the game.

Thanks for all the input people.
