Poor Goalkeeper Kicking


Recommended Posts

Does anyone else find the quality of goalkeepers' long kicks is not good enough? I have Claudio Bravo in goal at the moment who has a 15 rating for kicking and I find if I set his distribution to "specific player" and make it one of my forwards, or simply don't give him specific instructions, half of his kicks go straight out of play. Some of the time he'll drop the ball to kick from the ground and then panic and kick it miles out of play.

Jonathan Bond is my backup keeper with a kicking stat of 12. His kicking really was abysmal when Bravo was injured to the point of around 2/3 of his kicks going clean out of play in to the crowd.

This seems extremely unrealistic.

GK's are idiots. If you tell them to distribute to defenders, they may happily throw the ball to a central defender that has the opposition's striker standing half a meter away from him. I have given up on giving them specific distribution instructions, and leave it on default. It seems to give the best outcome, overall.
