no4 not catching kickoffs

why do no4 almost always miss catching the ball when opponents kick to him, from new players all the way to top players, is there a skill to increase to fix this? i thought of kick reception skill, but by description it says its for up n under kicks.. i have seen no4 catch kickoff before, and the guy' didnt have high reception or kick reception skill.
They fixed this for a while then it appeared again. Just sloppy game development.
