How to Kick with Power and Accuracy in Madden 26

Whether it’s a field goal, kickoff, or punt — Madden 26 gives you two different kicking meters depending on the mode. Master both styles to stay automatic in any situation.

Kicking Styles in Madden 26

• Multi Meter – Found in Head-to-Head play.
• Classic Madden Meter – Used in Madden Ultimate Team and other legacy modes.

Multi Meter

There are two control schemes for Multi Meter:

1. Tap and Hold

   • Step 1: Aim your kick using the left stick.
   • Step 2: Press and hold A/X when the arrow is in the green accuracy zone (between the two white lines).
   • Step 3: Release A/X when the power meter hits your target level.

2. Tap and Tap

   • Step 1: Use the left stick to aim.
   • Step 2: Tap A/X when the arrow lands in the green accuracy zone.
   • Step 3: Tap A/X again when the power meter reaches your desired power.

Stay just under the red zone on the power meter — going too high can lead to shanked or inaccurate kicks.

Classic Madden Meter

• Step 1: Aim with the left stick.
• Step 2: Tap A/X once to start the power meter.
• Step 3: Tap A/X again as the bar approaches the 100% mark for max power.
• Step 4: Tap A/X a third time when the line reaches the shaded accuracy zone for a precise kick.

Whether you’re setting up a coffin-corner punt or drilling a game-winner, mastering both meters ensures you stay in control under pressure.
