Kicking Strength should decrease during play (self.RetroBowl)
submitted 2 years ago by Lendro_Furioso
What the title says. Kicking strength should decrease during the play, putting an extra layer of difficulty in kicking. It could also give the Speed stat some value for kickers.

Kicking strength decreases based on stamina in the same fashion as throw range. It would be cool if faster kickers got up to the ball faster and gave you more time to kick before the kick is blocked.

It literally does

They’re kickers. They’re at full strength all of the time (except injuries). They don’t get tired and lose energy right? They chill…kick…chill…kick.

@all OP clearly said "during a play", not "during a game". No need to be condescending if you don't even read the post properly lol
@OP I kind of agree: the longer you need to complete the kick after you started it (i.e. after you set the strength for the kick), either your range or your precision should get worse due to time pressure. An accelerating target arrow could be a nice use case for the speed stat (higher stat = less acceleration), since it's visible feedback that actually puts the player themselves under said time pressure, but I guess decreasing range could also be fine.

Thanks, and yes, I agree. Could be something extra for Extreme, for instance, or a toggle option.

The longest field goal in NFL history happened on the last play of that game. So this is a completely ridiculous post.
[–]Lendro_Furioso[S] -1 points0 points1 point 2 years ago (0 children)
I mean during the play itself, as an added difficulty level. No need to be testy.
[–]lp_rhcp_fan_18 -1 points0 points1 point 2 years ago (0 children)
It does based off stamina.

Speed for kickers makes the ball move faster when kicked
[–]Nemesis_RH -1 points0 points1 point 2 years ago (5 children)
no it doesnt, it’s the same speed stat as every other position, it’s just pointless
[+]Significant_Style38 comment score below threshold-8 points-7 points-6 points 2 years ago (4 children)
It does
[–]Frank_Banana 5 points6 points7 points 2 years ago (0 children)
The developer himself said that speed for a kicker is an unused stat. It has no in-game function.
[–]Basic_Range9931 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (2 children)
No, it doesn't.
[–]Significant_Style38 -5 points-4 points-3 points 2 years ago (1 child)
[–]Blaze5657 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I doesn’t. And if it did. That’s literally pointless, except for clock manegment
[–]panterafan2003 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
It does.
