Zentner solo challenge

Really? A 55-yard field goal? With a punter? With 89 kick power?

I’ve been using my Gramatica that has 90 kick power and not coming close? Do you need to find a time where a big wind is with you? Is there a way to check the wind?

shit was the longest challenge to do for me, trying to get to exactly 55 yards with my peanut brain trying to math the yardage distance just made everything irritating.

I had wind and rain in my challenge, but got 7mph winds going in my favor so that helped. Took me a few tries to get it though.

88 OVR Gramatica should be able to blast 58+ yard FGs, heck i might have even landed a 60 or 61 recently.  You need to make sure you are pulling ALL the way back (down) on the left stick before kicking, that'll help increase your distance tremendously.

And that Zentner P card is absolutely fantastic, i've removed my Theme Team punter (and KOS) in favor of him.  His 89 speed makes him incredible in kickoff coverage, he's actually making tackles (or assisting).

My 88 Gramatica, with 90 kick power, maxes out at like 51 for me. You say pull back on the stick? Doesn’t that elevate the kick, which would decrease your distance? Or is that the key?  Didnt realize that, if so.

I’ve had plus4 wind and still missed. Using zen kicker and I’ve basically been hitting the kick perfect, but I’m always like 5 yards short.

Use the ability to grant slower meter on all kicks above 45 yards. And yes, pull back to increase arc / height AND distance.

I have the free 86 Gramatica and I made it after like 10 tries with zero wind. I hit the crossbar and it bounced through.

I have no idea what I’m doing wrong then.

You may just be having really bad luck or something. I just hold down on the left analog stick to lower the trajectory and got it first try. Using the Blitz punter made it easier because he’s got high power. Getting center field helps. 88 Gramatica should be fine. I have 90 Butker. 
I will concede that maybe I got lucky with wind, but the 51 yarder with the punter was easy, too. Just be sure to hold down on the left stick.

This worked. Much appreciated. And this time, instead of ending up 5-yards short, I made it easy…into a 7 mph wind coming at me.

Glad that worked out so well for you. Unfortunately, I went through the exact same difficulties last year. It wasn't obvious to me at the time that down/back on  the controller stick would get us significantly more distance from our kicks.

is this 1 star worth this many tries?
