What has been surprising me for years is why Konami did actually nothing with penalty shoot out. In both aspects – technique and presentation. It remains almost on the same level as it was in 1997-version for PSone. All what we have now is just pressing square and one of only six directions. No power gauge, no curling, no accurate adjusting of direction like in simple free kick. Just stupid pressing two bottons like tossing coins. Moreover you may miss without your guilt. Even if you direct the ball into center down it may fly above the bar. I’m ready to miss due to my own fault (too strong pressed power, wrong direction etc.), but not due to computers occasional decision. The same relates to keepers moving. Only 6 direction and nothing more. Let alone the total dramatic atmosphere of penalty shoot out that absolutely ABSENT in Konami's games. No replays in penalty shoot out, no dramatin tense of keeker and keeper, just simple, messi pressing of bottons without understanding what depends on you.
