The Two Point Conversion Pro-Style

Having a great kicker on your team is great but going for the 2 point conversion can win or lose a game for you. Most players will always decide to run this with their bread and butter player such as a fast running back, the quarterback, or a quick pass to their best receiver. While this is the smart way, it’s not always the best way. A fake field goal or an option play throws off the defense better than any bread and butter play would. Again, this will take practice, but it is possible to score more than 6 2-point conversions in one game using several different players with practice.

50+ Yard Field Goals with Accuracy

You can kick 50 yard, or longer yardage field goals, but you need a few pointers. First, you need a kicker with great numbers. There are about seven teams that you can do this with and by now you should know how to read their stats to see if they are capable of pulling this off. You need to time the meter perfectly. You will need to practice and of course 50 yard field goals are more difficult. You need to add in the wind and weather conditions. The only tips I can give you to kick like a pro is to practice and it is possible in time to make longer field goals than this with the right game conditions.

Attributes are Great but do not Bank on Them

In closing one of the most common mistakes gamers make is thinking they need players all above 90+ points. This is not true and will hurt more than help. You want a balanced team; forget about the 90+ rule. It will not help you against anyone but the computer and even then it won’t be as important as knowing the game and having the skills needed to win.
