Gamestop Madden Monday: Returning Missed FGs
by 
This week’s Gamestop Madden Monday focuses on the ability to return missed field goals and includes two new screenshots of Devin Hester in position to do so.
One of these Madden NFL 09 innovations is the ability to return missed field goals. Over the past couple of years, we’ve seen in the real-world NFL how a seemingly insignificant field-goal attempt can be turned into a momentum-changing, or even game-deciding, touchdown return.
It will be a nice change to force people into considering the risk of attempting a long field goal. However if kicking is overpowered (as has been the case seemingly forever) it may not really matter. Hopefully kickoffs aren’t going through the back of the end zone and long distance FG attempts actually have the potential of coming up short enough that they can be returned.

[quote comment="20244"]since we are on the subject of kicking,i have a question for an nfl nut . lets say i have a kicker who is not very accurate (madden or real life) and i wanna atempt a field goal on 3rd down instead of 4th ,simply because he might not make it on the first try .now if he makes it obviously i’ll get 3 points, but if he misses on that 3rd down attempt will it be 4th down ,or will it be change of possesion?[/quote]

change of possession if it touches the kicker’s foot[/quote]
Additionally, teams usually kick on third down in case of a bad snap, or a botched snap or something, because you can’t kick twice in your situation.[/quote]
you confused me! please read the last paragragh, then look at my question again . and why would it be change of possesion if it touches the kickers foot if its only 3rd dwn?[/quote]
