The new penalty system is (not) a great improvement

I must admit, I am in two minds whether to love or hate the new penalty system.
Sure it is a bit more realistic, cause after 120 min+ some players will no doubt be less settled on the spot.
But does it need to be so dam hard?
That is, what is probably to love about it… the fact that it is not as easy as it use to be, thus being more realistic. This in essence is what a great sport simulation is about.
The huge representation of all the participating countries is truly something to behold.
Reliving the finals is also a great addition and nothing is as satisfying as rewriting history, your way!
The "be a pro" version (Captain your Country) is a painful, yet rewarding, addiction.
If this is just a glimpse of what the next generations will offer, I must admit… then I can't wait for FIFA 11!!
