I thought id post this here because its not a bug but could the settings be changed to the given yards or less?

I had 4th and 1 from opponents 25 and punted because the fg setting is less than 25 yards.

25 yards or less. i nearly lost that game!

There is a difference between FG distance and distance to goalline

to make a fieldgoal from your opponents 25 you would have to set your fieldgoal setting to less then 43 yards. 25 yards to the goalline + 10 for the endzone + 8 for the holder position.

Needs further adjustment...54 yard attempts are not wise
