Hi,
just played a game with a penalty shootout. The order of penalty takers was not in order of best shooting skill of players in the game at the time.

My guy with 97 shooting did not take a penalty, but some players with shooting skill in the 80s took penalty shots.

Is there a rule on who takes penalty shots?

Thanks,

Hmm, if I remember correctly it should have been in order of shooting skill. I will raise a bug to investigate next week.

Can you confirm the match you are talking about? I’ve checked this one, and it looks fine, penalty takes were in best shooting order.

Antonio Santos was on the field, but did not get to shoot a penalty despite being top 3 in shooting.
Thanks,

He was the second one to take a shot, GK saved :-)

90 min: Owen (a) saves the shot from Santos (h)

Oh wow, my bad. I was just so excited to win, I totally missed it.

Love ya work G!

Hi,
I think I’ve had another penalty order issue:
https://goalfc.net/match/report/9037111

My 100 shooting player (Torrejon) was on the field, and is defined as the penalty taker in the formation (even though he starts on the bench and subs onto the field at 35 minutes).

At 55 minutes, a different player with 97 shooting (Ricaldi), took a penalty shot (he started and played the full game).

Is it because in my formation I defined a guy on the bench as the penalty taker?

Regards,

Without looking at the code, I think you’re on the right track. The game probably picked Ricardi as the PK shooter at match start, since your selected one wasn’t in the field. I still consider this to be a minor bug, it would be better if the game didn’t pick anyone and then whoever was the best player in the field when the penalty happened would take the shot.
