Missing too many penalties


Recommended Posts

My players (on two different teams on two separate saves) have missed something like 7 or 8 out of their last 10 penalties. Anyone else?

Compare it with the stats of the other teams in your save, maybe just bad luck or the wrong penalty takers selected.

I'm making sure the best penalty taker is taking each penalty, but I'll compare it with the stats of other teams. Thanks.

Yep brought it up and did hella research through my save just to be ignored

So it seems like this has been an issue for you going back to last year's game?

Not sure I noticed anything too wrong with pens in fm19, but I just seem to be missing way too many penalties on this year's game. And the players who have been taking them aren't bad penalty takers.

@chvrches

No this is this years game maybe I wasn't clear I'll reread the post now.

Re-read it and no this is a problem for this seasons fm. All I can think of is maybe there are now other factors to take into account when choosing a penalty taker. Such as hidden stats like pressure and so on. Because even the 20 pen takers with 20 composure are likely to miss a few.

 Because even the 20 pen takers with 20 composure are likely to miss a few.

That said, there is no Player in world Football who doesn't miss a few. Pretty much all of the guys who have near perfect records haven't yet taken as many penalties. CR7's record over 100+ stands at ~83%, Messi ~78%, Ibra ~85%. Penalties aren't certain Goals, no matter who takes them, so they shouldn't be in-game. Unless the game were to script that the best takers shouldn't be able to miss in sequences, (or have subpar spells, a la Messi 2015+2017), then that's gonna and should happen, and more severe stuff. So if that weren't the case, I'd Question the Integrity of the Simulation.

The actual Football world exists but once after all. FM' world for as many times anyone starts a new save. I hate scripts or artificial limiters tho in Simulation games in particular. :D Whilst they allow more control over what is ever going to happen when and where, they're imo very cheap and gamey. Also that's not how Football works. Stuff is being perceived as "impossible to happen"; until it happens. The Chance of missing a few pens isn't quite as lowly as the Chance of Winning the lottery. Even on subsequent Seasons/saves. And there's People Winning a lottery every day.

 

When Looking for possible issues as regarding to say the simulatioin of "pressure", which may be flawed, I'd try to make the following distinctions:
- Match Situation (shoot-out / extra time / normal time)
- Game State (Penalty doesn't make a difference as game is already won / Scoreline is Level -- Penalty in General Counts for something)

@Svenc when I said likely I mean as in The best penalty takers should be unlikely to miss. But when I play this game I feel like i'm rolling a 3 sided die 2x goals and 1 miss.

 

I personally dont believe messi is a good penalty taker. and he still hits that 78% mark

My players on here are hitting 40%

Just had an u23 cup final went to pens and only 3 out of the 10 were scored

How is this not an ISSUE!!!!!!!

as suggested, upload match and evidence to appropriate place and let them look at it. more files they have, more evidence they have.

All you got to do is play the game, either they don't test it or choose to ignore the issues.

I play it, I'm in my 3rd season. like i said, if you are having a problem, then use the bugs forum, that's what it is there for.  Of course they test it, but they have their limitations. They cannot replicate every possible combination of events or setups. add your input  n help em out

Over how big a sample size though, which may be the crucial bit. I don't think you will have any Penalty taker who keeps scoring that low in the longer term, even with the worst Attribute combination possible btw. It's possible you're just on a prolonged Rashford. :D Even for the best Penalty takers there should be a significant Chance of missing each Penalty. On average, it's a one in six Chance. Thus, unless SI were to hardcode that CR7 would be hugely unlikely to ever miss (which to me would be the end of Simulation), streaks are gonna occur on any release for somebody. This is the RNG at work, which affects other games too. See Tim Cain of Obsidian Entertainment Talking About the RNG of Fallout. He starts demonstrating the streaks that occur even with hit chances of 95%, when for the best Penalty takers for the pen it should hover around ~85%, a good ten percent less on average. With a hit Chance of 95%, that's a 1 in 20 Chance of missing. At 85% for the pen, it'd be  a 1 in ~6 Chance to see a save/miss on each pen on average.
 



That said, there may still be issues. To find them out, we'd probably needed to narrow it down to specific incidents, as suggested. Shootouts may be worth investigating, for instance. They see lower conversion in actual Football according to any Research out there, which makes it a sure fire bet that  SI likely aims to mimic that (added pressure). However, the pressure / penalties applied may be too severe.

The conversion rate from the soak tests in the game is equivalent to the stats that SI gather from football countries round the world.  Of course you will get times when they are missed, but I dont remember many threads being posted about too many being scored.

Please also just cut out the digs at the developers when you post.

@Svenc Good points and video has opened my eyes, when the random is going against you it "feels" broken.

 

@FrazT I apologise frustration got the better of me

@HUNT3R  I just completed my first season in the prem and the penalty  conversion was 63%. In the league I've scored 5 out of 13 penalties 1 team has a worse ratio and that's because they missed their only pen.

I know longer expect to score a penalty which isn't a feeling you should get in football, during playing time.

my best pen taker (16 pen 16 comp 15 fin) scored 2 out of 5 in the league, 2 out of 6 all competitions and has even missed 2 out of 2 in u18/23 non competitive games.

Just looked at spanish league, a lot less pens but still only 65% conversion rate    

Prem              76/121  63%

la liga              21/32    65%

Series A           33/38   87%

Bundesliga     29/37   79%

Ligue 1             38/44     87%

That's roughly 73% average which, over the last 5 seasons, is the lower end of the conversion rate you get in the prem.

the amount of pens in other leagues is extremely low as well, another game issue.

You didn't mention whether these leagues were on full detail though. Your own league will be, but you will have needed to set the others to full manually.

This issue may be this right here. 
 

The lack of penalties from around the world. Overall, the % is close to the 75% rate in real life but the 73% in FM might be tipped because the Prem Is having nearly 3x more attempts. 
 

each league should be around 75%, the numbers shouldn’t be so lopsided like that but it’s also because of the small sample size of attempts.

 

Or it  could also just be a product of variance which would also explain the numbers...

The variance may be a +10/-10 of 75%.

+5/-5 of 75% would be much better IMO.

Yes. Italian first league, my top penalty taker could miss 50%. Something fishy here...

PS: But after I set his individual training to penalty taking, he did improve.

FM 21, bug keeps going, player with 19 penalty taking, 20 finishing, composure 18, 10(2) stats.

If it was a game bug, it would be happening to all users and it doesnt appear that it is.  SI have said that the success rate in the game is slightly above the actual rates gathered from the respective leagues- from memory this figure was about 78%

The player I was talking, had to the previous team the stats on penalty 97% are goals, at my team he has now like 35%.

If is not a game bug, then the engine is broken.

You are showing one player though. How are the other players doing?

 

FWIW, I noticed you highlighted Finishing. It is irrelevent during an actual penalty.
