NFLE rules do have 4pt FG's, for kicks of 50+ yards (i.e. from the 40 yard line or further, taking into account the end zone). The idea is to encourage teams to try the kick rather than punting at that distance. It does lead to the odd idea though, of a team deliberately losing yardage on offense to get the ball 'in range' for a 4pt FG to tie the game.
