Punting from opponents 30-35 yard line

Why's this STILL happening?

Glaring error in game strategy just like 19 but no change. Let's punt from the 32 yard line & gain 12 yards field position because the punter ALWAYS boots the ball into the endzone instead of a FG or going for it. I don't know how many times I've seen this but it's getting really old fast. This issue was brought up idk how many times in 19 but still the same.

Teams should be trying the long field goals in this case or going for it on fourth down if their kickers or not up to it.

What is the Kick Power of your kicker? The last time I looked the code seemed reasonable but I can take another look.

I've seen this issue as well in WWPF, Brooks. My kicker there is 92 kick distance. I know it happened on my opponent's 31 yard line which dumbfounded and frustrated me in one game.

I think regardless of your kicker's power, there should be virtually no times when any team kicks from the opponent's 30 to 35 yard line. If for whatever reason they don't trust their kicker to try the field goal from that distance, the offence should be defaulting to going for it on 4th.
