2 questions for those who know how to comment on this.
Why in the games, in the position of Gunner and Kick Returner, I can not reach the maximum of stars? You can?
I understand that in away games, the position stars may drop a little, but I see that in some they fall in all the players, and in other matches, also when they are away, none fall, there is some logic that I am not understanding or is it just to luck?
I understand that players with little consistency can fall for that, but here it happens with the whole team or with nobody.
My personal opinion is that it's just a fault in the way they set up this position. I don't think that the Gunner and KR positions look at much more than just tackling or carry/catch and as such, it does not comply with the start game evaluation formula. As a result, it doesn't grab enough data to ever max out the start and end game ratings. If this is correct, then it leaves out enough numbers to not allow max stats here. I also don't think it matters for this position, because if they are rolled to make the tackle or return on a given kick receiving or return play, they are just compared against their tackling or catch(to receive) and carry (to return) skills. If they are not selected, then another random player on your team makes the tackle or the other return player selected makes the return and this is certainly evidenced on many kicking return plays. I think the STCB would do the same, except there is already a formula for the CB position and this is shared with stcb position. Just my opinion though

I have the impression that on kick-offs one of the gunners makes the tackle, but on punts it's just some random guy. Is that true or did i just not look at enough kick-offs and punts?

I think the drop off in performance from the first to second half is as much to do with whether the team is in the lead, as well as stamina and maybe other factors too, like if a player is just immensely good his skills overcome a stamina loss. It sometimes appears a little random though, which might be just a random element, a bug or something else I haven't thought of.
As for kicker returners and gunners, no idea why they only get 4 stars maximum (that's my record anyway - and you need low consistency to get that).
