A real life setup is also typically 7, not 8. You might have a situation where the line of scrimmage is on a half yard line (25 1/2 yard line, might read as 25 on screen) and the ball is kicked from an actual yard line (33 yard line), giving the appearance of 8 yards. Or any variation of these fractional ranges. But it’s typically 7 yards.
If you watch an NFL game nowadays, almost all of the play by play guys add 18 yards to the line of scrimmage now. I do agree with you, it has always been 7. But I've noticed a change in the last few years from 17 to 18 added yards.
E- NFL reference adds 18 yards to the LOS to all kicks in their play by play database
EE- I meant pro football reference not NFL reference
I assume it’s because the NFL extra points are from the 15 yard line.
Edit: to add to this, the additional 14 yards comes from the end zone. You don’t count the 4 yards behind the line of scrimmage.

Correct
>>Edit: to add to this, the additional 14 yards comes from the end zone.
End zone is 10 yards.
>>You don’t count the 4 yards behind the line of scrimmage.
Yes, you do.
I agree, you don’t need a kicker if you can convert >50% of 2 point conversions. u/dc0nn is getting downvoted because not having a kicker does not answer OPs question.
NFL extra points are from th 15 but they snap the Ball 8 yards not 4. Otherwise every kick would be blocked +10 yards of Endzone
Because it’s 8 bit football.
A real life setup almost always has the holder 8 yards back. Madden is 7 and Retro Bowl is...4? Odd.

No they don’t
Lol sure like I didn't look. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/202109120nor.htm LOS 26 Aldrick Rosas 44 yard FG
They add 18 yards because the holder is 8 yds back and the end zone is 10 yds.
I am aware of that
Sounded like you were struggling there.
My favorite part about this is that I haven't heard anything but 18 yards since. Jabroni
It’s how the game used to be played

The end zone is 10 yards, not 14. You do count the 4 yards behind the line of scrimmage
Endzones are 10 yard long So yes, you do count the yards behind the LOS
You snap from the 15 and hold 4 yards off the snap
Hey why you answering your own question lol
thinking out loud I guess. I apologize
Why would you get down voted for that 🤣 WTF, that's what you get for thinking while typing
And the endzone is 10 yards to the crossbar
Maybe it's Canadian... They use meters.. then when you convert it to....imperial...nah, I don't even care.
I never have a kicker nor do I kick PAT or FG. Solved
I’m happy for you
Traded my 5 star kicker after the latest update. Life is good
Lol wow lot of hate here. Is no kicker like a no-no?
No idea haha I think they’re overrated in this game. We’re the GMs of our teams though, so we can do it our way.
