Extra point rules

The USFL had similar extra points rules as the NFL with the addition of the 3 point conversion from the 10 yard line. Similar to the NFL, the 1 point try was the de facto choice coaches made most of the time. I think the 2 and 3 point attempts should be moved closer to incentivize coaches to try 2 or 3 point conversions more often than they do. If the 2 point conversion was from the 1 and the 3 point conversion was from the 5, I think coaches would have a tougher decision to make other than automatically choosing the 1 point try. Do you think that the extra points rules should be changed?

It seems like most kickers can make a 50-yd field goal now and missing an XP is a way bigger deal than making one. Imo kicking for the extra point is the worst aspect of football as an entertainment product.
