What is happening is that the algorithm is scoring his attempt to run around the oncoming opponent higher than trying to run through them. I do agree that there needs to be some work done on this, and it will be a focus of a future release - but I would rather have it this way than the way it was previously where there were way too many TD runbacks.


What controls that INT or Kick Catch? In other words, do I want my stupidest player returning kicks now? Or the one that is most likely to drop the punt catch, but most likely to have a decent return?


Intelligence is used to decide whether he is going to try to fair catch or let the ball bounce or try to return. Kick catch is primarily used to determine whether he muffs the punt. Once he has the ball, he uses the same logic as anywhere else in the game.

I'm considering adding a 'kick return' and 'punt return' attribute at some point that gives a boost to his skills when running back a kick, but that's still just being noodled at this point.

Lets be honest lol it went from if you were backed up near your end zone and forced to punt you had a 60% chance the other team was scoring a TD...


Only if you didn't have the right players on your punt coverage unit.

I very rarely ever gave up PR TDs (along with many other owners), while at the same time others were complaining they could never stop them.

For the most part, the common difference between the teams that gave up TDs and those that didn't were the players on the coverage teams.



I completely agree here by the way. I just haven't had time to respond.

I've seen the "bug" of PR (running to the sidelines) and have it go the distance for a TD....in a LC.

It decided the contest.

So it is possible to "run around" the gunner?

I seem to recall he broke the nearest gunners attempt of a tackle and broke back into the field.
