The Perfect Kicker

If you had a 100/100 kicker like this guy:

What would you set as his maximum attempt distance? I don't know what the effective limit is for distance range for kickers in MFN.

I'd set it at 60/60 yards at end of half and also any time during the game.

I don't recall ever seeing anything over 60 yards. 60 can be hit and if that fails distance wise, trickle it down to 59 and that won't miss due to distance.

In MFN 1, this guy hit a 66-yarder. He did it in 2015; that league in now in 2039.

In MFN 2, two guys have hit 66-yarders.

This guy hit a 66-yarder in 2014; He hit a 63-yarder in 2016. That league is now in 2038.

So did this guy, in 2016:

So, what I am wondering is, did something change in the code after what would have been the 2016 season in MFN 2? No kicker in that league has hit one longer than 60 yards since the 2016 season. No kicker in MFN 1 has hit one longer than 60 yards since its 2016 season as well. Perhaps some sort of cap was added that now makes 60 the max.

Yes, probably and great question. I'm not scientific but my thoughts are this...I saw one kicker's strength was 95. That would never ever hit a 60 yarder now and I'd think him to max out around 57-58 yards in this day in age.

I would definitely say that as the sim engine got updated over and over the kicker got maxed out at 60 yards. 2015-2016 was many generations ago. nods

Right, those were 22 and 24 seasons ago.
