I've never looked, but that should be reported as another bug if they're the same (which I don't think they are). Ok, i know my English is not that well, but if you see it realistic, if someone is able to kick the ball over 60 yards, he should be able to shoot a 50 yard FG. Thats simple logic It seems like it, but it's really quite different kicking a field goal and kicking a kickoff. They're not even comparable really..

Fg requires more accuracy than a kickoff where you are at the very most trying to kick away from the KRs
(Or logically/intuitively the angles of inclination attempted are different)

My 11 skill kicker has a career long of 36 despite numerous attempts between 35-45.

Edit: He also averages kickoffs of about 62 yards and punts of about 37.

That looks fine to me as well too.

According to the graph on that site, which only goes out to 56 yards, I'm not too far off.

My 8 skill kicker misses then from 38 and 40 all day long.

And that is the problem...

1. set you orders to <40 to kick for FG, you are 23 yards from the endzone. miss it all the time.

2. set your order to <35 to kick for FG, you are 18 yards from the endzone. make it all the time.

But if you go with no.2, you can finsh 4th-10 on the 19 yards line for example and punt it for a touchback, the offence will start on the 20 yard line.

I might just have to set order to go for a 1st down when under 25 yards, no matter how many yards are left. Not worth punting for 3 yards.
