To those who have said that penalty kicks are too easy...

What? I feel like it's broken in the demo. I hope it is anyway.

If I aim at all to the left or right, no matter how lightly I move the left stick, the ball is no where near the net. And the power-up doesn't feel like it is reflected by the strike of the ball. The only way I've been able to score is by leaving the left stick alone and barely tapping the shoot button. That gives me a medium strength shot right down the middle, and of the keeper dives then I've got a goal. If not, I look like a chump.

But here's why I think it's broken...it's not just me who can't make the kicks. It's the CPU as well. In about 10 games finishing tied against the CPU on World Class difficulty, I've won about 3-4 PK sessions 1-0. And lost the rest 2-1 or 1-0. It's not like I'm missing everything and the CPU is beating me 3-1 or 4-1. They miss everything too.

Anybody else think PK's are broken?

Im glad to hear the final version is better than the demo.. I was a little bummed by the demo.. Way too hard to score, the pace was too slow and hitting the ball felt like I was kicking a rolled up wet newspaper..

Hopefully the game plays faster and shooting power has more velocity. It almost seemed broken in the demo.. Especially in the Arena.. Time after time I would aim high and the shot would go low.. Did they change the shooting mechanics as well ?

How the hell do you do penalty kicks properly this year?

I noticed it's much different from just aiming one direction and pressing B as the shooter and choosing one direction and guessing on the L stick as the goalie.

I think the goalie is now controlled with the R stick, but how do you get your shots off properly? I pressed B when that little meter at the bottom was in the green middle area and didn't put full power on my shot but I still shanked it wide. Even lightly aiming on the L stick didn't help.

It seemed like the CPU missed a lot of penalties too.

I've played the demo 20 times and it just seems too easy to score, while the CPU is tenative offensively. Hopefully sliders or the retail version make games closer.
