This is from today's Friendly Cup game, 101120541.

9:38 Fraser Grant (K) kicks the ball for the field goal, 22 yard field goal missed
9:36 1 and 10 to go on own 20

The FG is from the 5 yard line + 17 is 22 yard FG. No problem there (apart from I would have liked to make the FG!).

From the manual, "If unsuccessful, the opposing team receives the ball at the spot where the field goal was attempted, which is 7 yards behind the original Line of Scrimmage." 5+7=12. So the scrimmage should happen at the 12 yard line.

The question is therefore, why does the resulting scrimmage occur at their 20 yard line?

No bug.
If the FG is missed from inside the redzone (13 yard line or lower), the ball is place at the 20 yard line.

Fab, thanks. I didn't see that in the manual but given that it was the 20 yard line, I wondered if that was the case.

Yes, we had this topic in the past.
Sorry, my bad, if it's missed inside the red zone your opponent start from 20.
The NFL has the same rule with the ball inside the Red Zone if it's a missed FG.
