First, they are going to have a different location for two point conversions and one point conversions, which I believe is stupid. I wonder if after a penalty, you'll be allowed to change back.
Two pointers will be spotted on the two, as they have been since the merger. But the line of scrimmage for the kicks will now be the 15. So the kickers will be kicking either 32 or 33 yard extra points. Some teams snap it seven yards, some snap eight.
The other big change will be adopting a rule similar to the NCAA rule, allowing turnovers on the try, to be returned for two points. Basically, this means they'll be a lot fewer ties when both teams score three touchdowns and kick the same number of field goals.
More kickers deciding games? Fewer? More injuries on extra point attempts for two points on goal lines.
Can you tell? I don't like the change.
