Default damned penalty lottery

After having applied the beta patch I have played 5 penalty kicks (same team 2nd season), all lost. Is it bad luck or does it occur to anyone else?

I'm not talking about single penalty kicks but about penalty lotteries (after national cup and/or international cup maches)

From my experience with penalties, I think they miss a *little* too often.

I had 1 penalty shootout where my team missed every single penalty, and the other team missed 2. That was a joke.

But it's not a big problem to be honest. Penalties are pretty much a lottery, unless you have a player who can smash it in the top corner 100% of the time.

I just won the community shield on penalties but of the 10 penalties taken 7 were missed!!

And it was Man Utd Vs Chelsea. This is definitely something that needs tweaking.

Glad to see there's somedody who is winning at penalties The problem is I'm playing in South America and it's easier to finish a cup match with penalties (becouse of the rules): if there would be some sort of bug it would be very annoying. 5 matches lost at penalties are too many...

Juventus vs AC Milan, champions league final.

Went to penalties where every footballer got a quick lesson in how not to take penalties. Absolutly horrid kicks.

Then again, same teams contested the Italian Super Cup the following August and that game also went to penalties, all of which were hammered into the top corners.. Guess what they did all summer long
