Also need to separate stats for PR and KR

At the moment the KR averages are utterly meaningless even without the 25 yard cap.


True. Me (among others) suggested that in season 2. Also we should add occasional Kick and Punt return TDs. I think Pete has it on his to do list. I'm not sure tho. Maybe we have to pester Pete a little bit more in order to see results.

Hmm...in fact, an OL has a higher punt rating than my punter. Hehe, I'm going to experiment in a scrimmage game, lol


That's pretty funny...I bought my current punter for only $25,000 and his punts are 5-6 yards better then my previous punter. Not saying that is alot, but that's possibly 5-6 yard further your opponent has to go for a field goal or touchdown depending on the punt return.
CodeDog, lol...instead of my OL, I found a young safety that was even better. My starting punter's longest is 31, and my safety, who is now my starting punter averaged better than the starting punter, and beat my starting punters longest of 31 by 4 more yards lol...

I do fg kick for max 45 yards and this season with only 61,4% success (10% lower than average of all time for kicker)

So in all other long situtation i punt and then it goes often for Touchback, because punter just punt straight every time

With punter punt even longer, i would only produce more touchbacks and so harm my field position overall

We not need "longer" punts first, we need intelligent punts!

So i say: no, no longer punts as long punter not become more intelligent to try the punt near goalline!

And since we talk about punter: first correct the stat recording for punter, because touchbacks are not recorded for them!


Yes! Yes! Yes!
In real life.
Too long punt can be so bad as too short punt.
After the punter made the kick other members of ST are running forward, and try to reach the PR or ball.
If punt is good - PR catch the ball then tacklers are near him.
If punt is too long PR have adition time for good return.

I don't think a punt can be too long (other than in a touchback), however, the hang time can be too short.

Choose the punt from two variants:
1. 42 yards long and fair catch (as result no return)
2. 62 yards long and return to touchdown
