How To Kick In Madden 22

Field goals are 1 of the most overlooked parts of any Madden game but they tin make all the difference in the world at the cease of a game.

In today's video (and article) nosotros are going over what does and doesn't thing for field goals too as how you can know with certainty the max distance whatever kicker in Madden 23 can boot a successful field goal from.

Let's dive in!

In that location are 3 things that impact how far you tin can kick a field goal.

Everything else you lot tin can possibly retrieve of doesn't take any impact on kick distance including:

Hash marking
Superstar abilities
Overall/sensation/kick accurateness rating
Whether you are playing on Competitive, Simulation or Arcade
Whether you are playing on Rookie, Pro, All-Pro, or All-Madden
Whether you are playing MUT, H2H, or Franchise manner

Let's go through the 3 things that matter and explain them in a piddling more particular.

Button The Left Stick Down

This is pretty self explanatory. Before you kick a field goal, y'all want to printing the left stick down (towards your body) to give your boot a farther maximum distance. All maximum distances that we refer to in this commodity are with the left stick pushed downwards.

Kick Power Rating

We did the math on how far each kicker can kick. Information technology is a fleck complicated but nosotros developed a simplified formula that works extremely well for y'all to hands make the calculation with just some unproblematic multiplication.

In order to determine the maximum field goal distance for your kicker just multiply his kicking ability rating by .65.

.65 x Kicking Power = Maximum field goal distance (with no air current)

Here are some examples:

A kicker with 94 kick power: .65 x 94 = 61.1 k max field goal distance

Or a kicker with 88 boot power: .65 x 88 = 57.2 yard max field goal altitude

Or a kicker with eighty boot power: .65 * fourscore = 52 one thousand max field goal distance

You lot should do this calculation with the kicker that is currently in your lineup so you know at the terminate of games exactly what thou line you need to get to in order to kick a game winning (or game tying) field goal.

How Wind Impacts Field Goals

Wind tin also play a very important function. The calculation for wind is for every 13 miles per hour of air current (at your back or against you) you gain or lose 5 yards of max distance.

So it is as unproblematic as xiii divided by 5 = two.six. That ways that for every 2.6 miles per 60 minutes of current of air yous gain or lose i one thousand.

The way nosotros make this much easier is if the wind is at our back helping us we add one yard of max distance for every three miles per hour. And so if at that place is half-dozen miles per hour current of air at our dorsum, nosotros can safely add two yards of distance.

When the wind is working against united states of america, we decrease 1 yard of max distance for every 2 miles per hour. So if there is vi miles per hour wind confronting us, nosotros subtract three yards from our max distance.

This mode you volition never be overly optimistic about how far you can boot when the wind is helping you, and you lot will always have a piffling actress room in your calculation when the wind is working confronting yous.

Air current that goes directly right or left won't impact max kick distance besides much and if the current of air is either 0 or 1 mph, yous tin can safely ignore it.

Putting it all together

Let's do a couple of examples with all of it put together.

You accept a 95 boot power kicker with 4 miles per hour wind at your back.

We start with .65 x 95 which equals a 61.75 yard max altitude with no wind. When we add together in the current of air it gives united states of america a trivial over 1 extra yard of assistance (in this case we tin can safely presume about ane.25) for a condom max altitude of 63 yards.

Or in another example, you have an 80 kicker power kicker with 6 miles per 60 minutes air current working confronting you.

We start with .65 10 80 which equals a 52 thousand max distance with no wind. Withal, nosotros have to factor in the wind which volition decrease 3 yards of max altitude because it is working confronting us so we know that we are good from 49 yards and in this state of affairs.

This is the kind of pocket-sized thing that separates the bully Madden players from the good. If you lot know down to the exact yard how far downfield you demand to get in your final drive, it will let you play with a lot more conviction and make you much less likely to make a error in those critical moments.
