I apologise if this has been covered before, but i couldn't see it in any thread titles, so here goes...
Firstly, let me just state for the record that I am an ardent fan of PES and have been since the ISS days. I still play it almost every day and have done for years. I am also a big fan of PES 2010 in many ways, especially in comparison to 2009, and consider it to be one of the best editions in recent years.
However..... The new penalty kick system introduced in PES 2010 is the single biggest debacle I have witnessed in all my years of playing soccer games (about 15 years). How anybody thought that cutting to an aerial, side-on view to take the penalty was a good idea is completely beyond me. On top of that, I personally find it pretty much impossible to get my penalties on target if i "aim" anywhere other than straight down the middle, regardless of how good the player taking the penalty is. Shocking.
The old penalty system was not brilliant, but at least i felt like i had a chance. Add to that the unforgivable reluctance of in-game referees to actually award penalties, and you have the icing on the cake.
IMHO this really needs to be sorted in 2011 as for me it often comes close to ruining my experience of the game, which is a real pity. There are not many ways that FIFA outdoes PES, but refereeing and penalties are two key ones for me.
