Penalties are all random at the end of the day.

Amigo, I have to disagree with you on that one. You can use the word random, but that implies that you cannot predict it, but you have to factor in "the odds".

You have penalty specialists in RL, Reina is touted as one and there are others of course, but it is because they make more saves than the average GK. Just say that a normal GK makes 1 out of 10 penalty saves - it may be higher or lower as this is just an example. Reina would make 2 of 10. It is not much but better than the average.

I think the problem is that many people think that a GK with Penalty Stopper should stop 9 of 10 or ALL penalties. This is, of course, unrealistic (It seems that there are many unrealistic expectations in this game based on all the rant threads!).

Regarding the OP, allowing all penalties with a GK with PS, and then missing all penalties with penalty specialists is like winning the anti-lottery. I would like to say that the odds are astronomical of this happening, but this is Nordeus. ****ty programmers aside, the problem lies with management for not addressing these small issues that would improve gameplay.

You are all right of course.

On one hand it's true that the game is as random as can be, and even Messi has an off day sometimes,
but on the other hand you would expect that 2 penalty kick specialists would score at least once, and a 6 star penalty kick stopper GK would stop at least one shot,which would have kept me going and maybe win...

but as I said before, this is just a game and fortunately I'm smart enough not to be spending anything on it :-)
