Coffin Corners

I'd like to see punters actually use their punt accuracy to try and coffin corner punts when attempting to pin opposing teams in their <10. As of now, it's just a complete crapshoot on how the bounce happens, with punters routinely launching a punt to bounce 60+ yards to touchback.

Note: Directional punting is HARD, and should rely very heavily on accuracy.

No, the ball bounces just fine as it is. Undefined, could go in any direction on any bounce! Punters punt inside the 5 all the time.

Leave it alone.

Hey how about some home crowd noise too? I can feel the excitement already! How about A BRAND NEW CAR!!!!!!!! (sarc) lol!

I don't think he was asking to change the way the ball bounces.

I think he meant punters should AIM for the sideline instead of just kicking down the middle nearly every time and hoping the ball bounces in your favor.

I have actually seen these a couple of times, but not much at all.

Consider me a +1 on this request. It would add to the realism.

Thanks; yes, this is precisely what I was intending with my suggestion.
