Penalty never scores???
It seems like penalty has a very high missing chance -- not only me, but the AI opponent I'm facing. My Bruno scores only 1/2 of penalties and he got 19 in penalty and a very decent composure.
I'm not complaining because the AI also not scoring many penalties.
It seems to me that penalty kicking is no other than a regular shoot from the 12 yard point. Did the game just use the expected goal rate for that point as penalty scoring chance? I'm not sure but I think penalty should be buffed.

Its the same uneffective rate for me, as it was in FM23. This means no difference.

Feels like around 50% go in, maybe less.

I have 5 penatly and all scored

I now feel like it's heavily depends on stamina and mood.
Whenever the taker has low stamina or not calm enough, the penalty is not going in.

...which makes late game balance breaker very hard to score, and a useless penalty when you're already winning very easy to score.

What makes you think that? I feel like I've scored some injury time penalties. I wasn't really able to correlate the misses with anything in particular.

Maybe I'm wrong... but once I noticed that, my Bruno only scores when he's not in red face, and not scoring when he's in red face. And surely also missed some 80+ min penalties.

try playing a team above div 5?

from non penlty shoot outs there was about a 50% conversion ration for ai and probably about a 25% conversion ratio for my team in season 1...
probably due to the fact i didnt really have anyone with good composure, finishing and penalties in season 1. but in penalty shoot outs i mean bloody hell i had 4 games go to 12 shots each with 12-11/11-12 scored being the most common 3/4 games the other went on for nearlly 3 full squad rotations after 11 each it was pretty much both miss/both save until eventually it did finish like 23-22 or something like that cant remember the exact score. and 2 games go where it was 5-3/3-5...
all but 1 of the games was Prem vs Prem with the other basically being my u21s Prem Squad vs Championship

had a player missed 4 penalty in a rowe, changes pen taker and havent missed since, the one who was missing is suppose to be my best penalty taker.

You have three options in: Tactics > Penalties

1. Allow player who has scored 2 goals to take penalty
2. Change taker if player has already taken penalty
3. Change taker if player has already missed penalty

Finishing
Composure
Penalties

Listed as key attributes. I would say Decisions as well along with Strength.

what i think that is and things in similar nature in the match engine is, if your tactics or pressing is wrong in some way, everything goes down the toilet, so missing pens and clear cut chances all boil down to your tactics are wrong. I could be wrong but once you figure out how to press teams everything falls into place.
