Does someone can explain me why my kicker does not attempt field goals anymore ? ...
Several times, he was at 25-30 yards from the goal line and he didn't attempt the field goal only my punter punts the ball for a touchback ..

I dont know why it's happening! What should be the orders to allow my kicker to attempt a field goal ?
There is my current orders on 4th down. What is wrong ?


On 4th down punt or attempt a field goal if distance <=40 yards
Unless yards left : 10 yards
On 4th and 3
when (run %) 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% [60%] 70% 80% 90%

Thanks a lot, it could be really usefull for tricky games

Rather than add 7 yards to the distance, you need to add 17 yards. so 30 yards out is actually a 47 yard field goal

40 yards is the total distance -> +10 Yards Endzone +7 Yards "dropback"
So the Kicker will attempt FG when ball spot is 23 Yards or less

This one is in deed 10 Yards or less to the endzone

Thanks! So I changed 40 yards to 50 yards. This way if the ball spot is at 30y from the endzone my kicker will attempt the field goal!
