ABOUT AMERICAN FOOTBALL KICK
American Football Kick isolates the field-goal specialist's task. Each kick is determined by direction, height and power, while changing winds and increasingly awkward angles complicate the flight between the upright posts.
The shot is controlled with three timed clicks, so a technically good kick requires a sequence of decisions rather than a drag gesture.
HOW TO PLAY AMERICAN FOOTBALL KICK
- Watch the sweeping indicators and click once for direction, once for height and once for strength.
- Adjust for the wind before beginning the sequence.
Controls
- Choose direction: First mouse click
- Choose elevation: Second mouse click
- Set power / kick: Third mouse click
TIPS AND TRICKS
- Leave room inside both goalposts when choosing height and force in strong wind.
- Do not confuse extra power with accuracy; a hard kick that starts wide will stay wide.
- Keep some margin inside both uprights.
- Read the wind indicator before aiming; if the wind pushes right, begin the kick slightly left of the target center.
- A strong crosswind can drift a visually centered kick outside the posts. Estimate the push, offset your starting direction, then set angle, height, and strength without rushing the indicators.
FAQ
How does wind affect a field goal?
It shifts the ball sideways in flight and must be compensated for at setup.
Where should you aim in a strong side wind?
Begin slightly against the wind and leave clearance inside the post it is pushing toward.
Why check the wind before starting?
A crosswind can carry the football away from the uprights even when your first aim looks centered.
How many timing choices does a kick require?
Three: direction, elevation and launch power.
What happens if you choose power before direction carefully?
A strong kick can still miss if the ball's line points outside the uprights.
