Punting distance

[CUEE92]

I don't know if it was just this one game I played, but it appears that the punter of the opposing team was punting always 50 yards? Has anybody else observed this?

[StampsFan]

I'm pretty sure that's a known issue.

Do you mean exactly 50 every time? Or 50 or more? I was noticing some longer distances on punts, but I'll bet that's because of the fact that the ball is not snapped back far enough.

50 yards everytime.

I noticed a lot of 60+ yrd punts so far. have not kept statistics on this though.

Mine is returning punts. The other team in the PBP says punted for 0 yards.

50 yards everytime.

In a quick-play Canadian rules game, I was getting 50 and 57 for every kick (punt or kickoff) in the first part of the game. I then started getting some numbers in the 40's as well. At first I thought that the game was calculating the punt distances wrong, but then I realized (assuming that I was doing the math in my head correctly) that the game was counting the distance from the kicker, not the line of scrimmage.

However, I did get two situations in a game where the computer team had the ball inside their own 10 yard line, and punted. In both cases, the ball didn't reach mid-field, but the punt distances were listed as 66 and 68 yards. Those two were wrong.
