45.1 Kicking and +45 strength should do for routine 30-35 yards chip shots. Unless there are other variables like wind speed, pressure or holder intervention?

30-35 yards...fieldgoal distance, or distance from goalline? This is a huge difference...

Btw, I was checking the stats of your last few games, and found nothing I would be worried about if I were you.


OK, you missed one

Yeah 83.3% it's good enough, I over reacted. Got confused with my back up Kicker who still in development

I am having troubles with sacked. I built a pretty great OL. So, I don't understand.

Anyone who can provide any adjustment that I can make?

From my understanding of the game, a great OL serves only to neutralize the DL but doesn't pick up a blitzing LB. That is the job for the FB. So you need a good OL to make sure no DL get through leaving the FB free to block the LB. This also means that passing out of Pro, Single Big and Single Spread means there won't be a FB available to block.

Another way I find useful to prevent sacks is having a complex PB that includes running and passing out of the same formations. I know I'm less likely to blitz if I am worried my opponent could be running the ball. And if you already have a solid OL, running should be easy for your team and you might even get opponent defenses to put more defenders in the box leaving them vulnerable for a deep TD pass.

Personally, I don't sweat getting sacked. My team is one of the most sacked in Fire 1.1 (tied for 9th most sacked), but I'm 9-0. In fact, four of the most sacked teams are all competing for division titles. I feel that following a sack, oftentimes the offense will counter with a long completion to neutralize the sack.
